Abstract: Acute aortic dissection (AAD) is a major vascular disease that seriously affects human life and health, and choice of clinical treatment options is the key and difficult point in resident training. Case-based learning (CBL) teaching method uses cases as teaching materials to inspire students’ independent thinking, by various ways and under the guidance of teachers, so as to achieve desired teaching purpose. This paper showed the initial exploration of CBL in AAD disease teaching from five aspects: the determination of clinical teaching objectives, the design of teaching cases, the implementation of CBL teaching in clinical practice, teaching evaluation and mobile learning courses.

Key words:  acute aortic dissection, case-based learning, course design
