Key Points

• To explore the value of combining microlectures with PBL teaching methods in diagnostics education at a TCM hospital.
• 86 TCM interns were randomly assigned to either a combined microlecture + PBL group or a traditional teaching group, with 43 in each group.
• The groups were compared on exam scores, teaching effectiveness ratings, and satisfaction with teaching methods.
• The microlecture + PBL group scored significantly higher in theoretical knowledge and practical skills (P<0.05).
• Higher scores in self-study capability, knowledge expansion, and clinical thinking were reported in the microlecture + PBL group (P<0.05).
• Overall satisfaction with the teaching method was greater in the microlecture + PBL group compared to the traditional group (P<0.05).
