ABSTRACT

With the development and transformation of the medical model based on medical technology, people's demands of medical services have increased, and to raise the overall quality of community health workers higher requirements for medical education have been proposed which also pose new challenges. More qualified health workers are required by the community, which also poses a new challenge to medical education. Limitations of traditional medical education are being exposed increasingly, and it is difficult to adapt to the rapidly changing needs of society, but there is an urgent need to explore and reform medical education model. According to the differences between groups of students at different educational levels, the paper analysed the feasibility of introducing PBL in the teaching system of medical students. PBL teaching method is an effective means to improve the quality of our medical students’ training. The application of PBL teaching has obvious advantages in improving students' ability to solve practical problems of cooperation and self-learning and developing innovative thinking ability. In recent years, PBL has become a model of medical education with wide international concern. Some of the medical colleges have also launched PBL teaching practice, but it is still in the exploratory stage, and lacks experience.
