Abstract:

Ultrasound medicine education faces challenges such as strong practicality, rapid technological iteration, and interdisciplinary integration, while traditional teaching models has limitations like one-way knowledge transfer, scattered resources, and insufficient clinical thinking cultivation. The PACS-PBL integrated teaching model addresses these issues by combining the digital resource management capabilities of the picture archiving and communication system (PACS) with the active learning mechanism of problem-based learning (PBL), forming an innovative educational loop of "digital resource integration + problem-oriented learning". The PACS system provides standardized case libraries and multi-modal imaging data, supporting precise retrieval and dynamic tracking. The PBL method drives clinical thinking training through problem chain design, facilitating the transformation of knowledge into competency. This article systematically elaborates on the theoretical foundation, core elements, and practical pathways of this model, validating its effectiveness in undergraduate education, standardized residency training, and specialized advanced education, transitioning the teaching from "knowledge reproduction" to "competency application".
