Objective To evaluate and analyze the combined application of target teaching method and flipped classroom in the teaching of infectious diseases. Methods: The teaching work of infectious diseases from September 2020 to June 2022 was retrospectively analyzed, and one class of students was selected as the research target from September 2020 to June 2021 (control stage) and from September 2021 to June 2022 (research stage) respectively. The class in the control stage carried out routine teaching of infectious diseases.A total of 30 students were included in the control group. The class at the research stage carried out the combined teaching of target teaching method and flipped classroom. A total of 30 students were included in the research group.After the course of infectious diseases, the test scores and teaching quality of infectious diseases were evaluated and compared between the two groups. Results: The scores of infectious diseases related theory examination, typical case analysis examination and clinical skill examination in the study group were higher than those in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05).The teaching quality scores of infectious diseases in the study group were higher than those in the control group in the aspects of clinical thinking cultivation, learning interest enhancement, theoretical knowledge mastery and practical application, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The combined application of target teaching method and flipped classroom in the teaching of infectious diseases has an outstanding effect in improving the test scores and teaching quality.
