Abstract:

Medical genetics, which is a frontier subject in biomedicine, is the clinical core of gene diagnosis and gene therapy. In the training of medical students, medical genetics plays an important role in bridging basic medicine and clinical medicine. In recent years, problem-based learning (PBL) has been widely used in medical education as an important method to cultivate the autonomous learning ability of medical students. In the current study, we designed and shared the research on brachydactyly type A2 (BDA2) as the main case of PBL teaching, in order to guide the students towards autonomous learning, and to cultivate independent analysis and problem solving ability instead of simple knowledge acquisition. Such excellent academic teaching will provide more high quality medical talents and internationally competitiveness for constructing a healthy China.

Key words: medical genetics, brachydactyly type A2, PBL, mutation, teaching design
