Abstract: Objective To discuss the application value of problem-based teaching method in surgery teaching. Methods Apply "the traditional teaching method" to the control group,and introduce the problem-based teaching method in the experimental group.According to the syllabus,we prepare the lesson carefully,grasp the essence of the teaching contents,set delicate,novel,various and sufficient topics as far as possible,let every students have the chance to answer the question,distribute the students the task to solve problem ahead of time,give the students sufficient time to prepare in the latter group.The students answer questions based on accurate basis and reason,and the teachers'comments must be accurate and encourage students to take part in actively.Compare the final theory results of students in two groups and students'satisfaction survey. Results The scores of surgery theory of two groups have statistical significance (P<0.05).The results in experimental group is better than those in the control group.The problem-based teaching method used in surgery teaching,can not only improving learning initiative but also promote the students'ability to solve problems with scientific clinical thinking,thus laying a solid foundation for their future learning and sustainable development. Conclusions Problem-based teaching method improves the students'learning autonomy and creativity and highlights the students-centered awareness.Problem-based teaching method is conducive to the cultivation of students'scientific thinking,which can help students improve and innovate problem solving skills.It enables students to learn sustainably via teaching methods in an equal environment.To apply problem-based teaching method in surgery teaching,we can provide a platform for students to think independently,voice frankly and seek for questions,thus cultivating students'ability of clinical thinking,actual problem-solving and sustainable learning to grow healthily and become a man of tremendous promise.Introducing the problem-based teaching method in surgical teaching can make the teaching effect remarkable,which is worth promoting.
