Abstract Background Medical immunology is a core course in modern medical education, playing a crucial role in cultivating students' medical literacy and clinical thinking abilities. In recent years, the Evidence-based medicine (EBM) and Problem-oriented patient solving (POPS) teaching methods have been widely applied in medical education and have achieved remarkable outcomes in graduate education in Traditional Chinese Medicine and clinical medicine. However, the application of the EBM combined with POPS teaching method in medical immunology courses remains underexplored. Objective This study aims to investigate the application effect of the EBM combined with POPS teaching method in medical immunology courses, to provide a reference for a novel teaching model and contribute to the cultivation of high-quality medical talents through the teaching of medical immunology. Methods This study is the first to apply the EBM combined with POPS teaching method in medical immunology courses. The teaching effectiveness was evaluated through standardized questionnaires, post-class tests, and students' feedback. Additionally, the teaching effect evaluation index system was constructed based on expert consultations. The overall teaching effectiveness of this method was comprehensively analyzed by combining students' feedback questionnaires, theoretical test results, and course review writing. Conclusion The EBM combined with POPS teaching method significantly outperforms traditional teaching methods in enhancing student learning participation, knowledge acquisition, autonomous learning ability, and team cooperation skills. This method effectively promotes classroom interaction and fosters students' clinical and scientific research thinking, providing a valuable reference for the development of medical education courses.
