Abstract: Objective  To explore the effectiveness and application potentials of the teaching mode of standardized patient (SP) combined with case-based learning (CBL) in medical teaching of urology. Methods  A total of 55 interns in urology department of our hospital from July 2020 to June 2021 were divided into four groups according to the internship program. Students in group A and group B were taught by traditional CBL, while students in group C and D received SP combined with CBL. The examination performances of students among the groups were compared, and students subjective evaluations of these two teaching methods were recorded as well. Results  Students in group C and D got higher test scores when compared with the students in group A and B, and showed an enhanced ability in case analysis. Besides, the combined teaching mode tended to better arouse students’ interest and was more easily to impart knowledge, according to questionnaire results. In addition, students stated that they experienced better participation and interaction during the course of SP in combination with CBL, and this teaching mode could be well accepted. Conclusion  The teaching mode of CBL combined with SP has significant advantages in the medical teaching of urology and is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
