Exploration of multimodal diabetes management teaching in the standardized training for resident physicians

Objective To explore the effectiveness of multimodal comprehensive diabetes management teaching in the standardized training of endocrinology residents. Methods Fifty-nine resident physicians rotating through the endocrinology department from March to October 2024 were selected. They underwent a multimodal comprehensive diabetes management teaching model that integrated standardized theoretical instruction, case discussions, teaching ward rounds, practical operations, and interdisciplinary pharmaceutical education. The effectiveness of this teaching model was evaluated through multiple dimensions using a comprehensive diabetes management evaluation form, Mini-Clinical Evaluation Exercise (Mini-CEX) scale, and satisfaction surveys. Results After two months of multimodal standardized training, the results showed: 1) The resident physicians demonstrated significant improvements in all aspects of comprehensive diabetes management (P＜0.05). 2) The Mini-CEX scores of the resident physicians generally reached excellent levels (P＜0.05). 3) Both the resident physicians and teaching faculty showed significantly higher satisfaction with the comprehensive diabetes management program after the training (P＜0.05). Conclusions Multimodal comprehensive diabetes management teaching is effective in enhancing the standardized diagnosis and treatment abilities of resident physicians in the endocrinology department regarding diabetes.
