Each group adopted corresponding teaching methods. Recording the OSCE scores before and after the standardized training and teaching work, and using questionnaires to obtain students' satisfaction with teaching work and self-evaluation. Results The results of the three groups before and after the standardized training were statistically different (P＜0.05). There was no significant difference in OSCE scores among the three groups before standardized training. After the standardized training of the three groups of students, there was a statistical difference between the OSCE performance groups(P＜0.05),and the comprehensive group was better than the traditional group and the modern group. The comprehensive teaching group had the highest average satisfaction (AS) scores with the teaching mode(4.36). The effective use of time AS scores (4.23 and 4.27) in traditional education group and comprehensive education group were higher than those in modern education group (3.55). The AS scores (3.64 and 3.78) of the traditional group in the application of self-learning ability and clinical skills were lower than those of the modern group and the comprehensive group.
