Abstract: Objective To explore the teaching effects of case-based learning (CBL) and team-based learning (TBL) in students from eight-year program of clinical medicine at department of radiology. Methods A total of 89 students joined radiology clerkship training at Peking Union Medical College from July 2024 to February 2025. Eight radiology teaching sessions (24 class hours in total) were conducted according to organ system. Students were randomly divided into a control group (classic training program) and an experimental group (combined CBL and TBL methodology). After each session, questionnaires were used to collect data about students' learning outcomes and self-evaluation based satisfaction. Results Students in experimental were grouped significantly out-performed those in the control group in capacity building of clinical reasoning, logical analysis and learning feedback(P＜0.05). Additionally, presentation training in classroom was believed to be more effective than classic teaching in terms of listening in enhancing knowledge retention, motivation, and learning initiative (P＜0.05). Conclusions The combined application of CBL and TBL can significantly improve the clinical analysis capacity and learning satisfaction of eight-year medical students.
