Objective  To analyze the application effect of BOPPPS teaching method combined with case-based learning (CBL) in the standardized training of orthopedic residents.

Methods  Residents who participated in standardized training in the department of orthopedics of the Second Hospital of the Air Force Medical University from September 2023 to September 2024 were selected as research subjects, and were divided into the control group (conventional teaching) and the observation group (BOPPPS teaching method combined with CBL+ conventional teaching). After 6 months of training, the theoretical knowledge of orthopedics, clinical case analysis ability, clinical practice ability and satisfaction with the teaching method of orthopedic standardized training were compared between the two groups of residents.

Results  A total of 164 subjects were included in this study, 82 in each group. The scores of aspects of basic knowledge, case analysis and clinical skills and total score of theoretical knowledge of orthopedics, scores of items and total score of clinical case analysis ability (diagnosis and basis, differential diagnosis and analysis, examination item and principle, treatment principle and scheme, prognosis judgment and analysis), scores of items and total score of mini-clinical evaluation exercise (Mini-CEX) and aspects of satisfaction with teaching method (closely integrated practice and theory, stimulating learning interest, improving teaching learning atmosphere, etc.) in the observation group were all significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05).

Conclusion  The application of CBL combined with the BOPPPS teaching method in the standardized teaching for orthopedic residents can effectively enhance the mastery degree of basic knowledge, clinical thinking ability, practical ability and residents’ satisfaction with teaching.
