Abstract:

Objective To explore the application effects of a Chinese-English bilingual teaching model in the clinical internship course of colorectal cancer. Method A total of 50 medical students who participated in clinical internships at the Gastrointestinal Surgery Department of Jiangmen Central Hospital from January 2024 to January 2025 were selected as research subjects. The bilingual group (n=25) received bilingual instruction, while the control group (n=25) was taught using traditional Chinese methods. The mastery of theoretical knowledge, literature reading and analysis skills, and clinical practice abilities were compared between the two groups. Additionally, a questionnaire survey was conducted to assess the satisfaction levels regarding their respective teaching models. Result The bilingual group demonstrated significantly higher mastery of literature reading and analysis skills, as well as clinical practice abilities compared to the control group, the bilingual group reported higher satisfaction with the teaching model, showing a statistically significant difference (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion The implementation of a Chinese-English bilingual teaching model in the clinical internship course of colorectal cancer is beneficial for medical students to grasp the clinical theories and the current status of international cutting-edge research on colorectal cancer, while also further stimulating their interest in learning.
