Application of the BOPPPS combined with CPBL and scenario simulation in cardiovascular internal medicine teaching

Objective This study aims to evaluate the application of BOPPPS teaching model combined with case and problem-based learning (CPBL) and the scenario simulation in cardiovascular internal medicine education. Methods The study included cardiovascular internal medicine graduates from the 2022 and 2023 cohorts. The 2022 cohort (n=12) served as the control receiving traditional teaching methods, while the 2023 cohort (n=16) was the experimental group, which utilized the BOPPPS model combined with CPBL and scenario simulation. The students theoretical examination scores were assessed and a questionnaire survey was conducted to evaluate self-assessment of abilities and teaching satisfaction among the students in the experimental group. Results The examination scores of experimental group were significantly higher (97.94±3.46) as compared to that of control group (69.13±12.88) (P＜0.05). Over 93.75% of the students in the experimental group strongly or somewhat agreed that the combined teaching model stimulated their
