Objective:

To evaluate the application value of the flipped classroom combined with team-based learning (TBL) in surgical skills training for ophthalmology residents.

Key Findings:
  • The experimental group had significantly higher theoretical scores post-training compared to the control group (p < 0.05).
  • Post-training skill assessment scores were significantly better in the experimental group across all evaluated modules (p < 0.001).
  • Satisfaction levels in the experimental group regarding operational ability, teacher enthusiasm, and overall self-evaluation were higher than in the control group (p < 0.05).
Interpretation:

The flipped classroom combined with TBL may improve ophthalmic residency skills training outcomes compared to traditional methods.

Limitations:
  • The study involved a small sample size of 20 residents.
  • The study was conducted at a single institution, which may limit generalizability.
Conclusion:

The flipped classroom combined with TBL is an innovative teaching mode in ophthalmology surgical skills training.
