Abstract: Objective  To analyze the application value of integrated teaching method combined with situational simulation in pediatric practice in our general hospitals. Methods  28 interns in our department in 2018 were chosen as control subjects, and were applied with traditional teaching methods. The other group of 28 interns in our department in 2019 were assigned as the experimental subjects, and were deployed with strategy of integrated teaching combined with situational simulation method. Results  There was no significant difference between two groups in theoretical examination, and the total score of clinical skill assessment (five-station rotation test) of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group, with statistically significant difference.  Conclusion  The integrated teaching combined with situational simulation has significant advantages than the conventional pedagogy in our pediatric practice comparative study. This novel pedagogy can arouse students interests of learning and capability of clinical thinking. Accordingly, their clinical skills will improve as well.
