ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the application method and value of mind mapping in the clinical teaching of general practitioners for the purpose of improving the teaching qualities. Methods A total of 60 GPs were divided into the test group and control group, undergoing the mind mapping teaching and tra-ditional teaching, respectively. The clinical knowledge achievements were compared in the two groups, and the results were analyzed. At the same time, a questionnaire was conducted. Results The difference between two groups in theoretical teaching was statistically significant (P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in physical examination (P>0.05). In addition, the results of the questionnaire survey showed that the test group was better than the control group in medical knowledge, self-learning ability, interpersonal communication ability, team cooperation ability and other dimensions. Conclusion Mind mapping is an effective teaching tool for general practitioners.
