Objective To explore the Effectiveness of Integrating the Seminar Teaching Model into Neurosurgery Intern Teaching Using an Online Interactive Platform. Methods We adopted a comprehensive sampling method and selected 36 medical students who participated in neurosurgery internship at our hospital from September 2022 to June 2023. They were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received teaching using the Seminar teaching model based on an online interactive platform, while the control group received traditional teaching methods. At the end of this stage, theoretical and clinical practice assessments were conducted for both groups of interns to compare the teaching effects. A questionnaire was also used to evaluate the new teaching model. Results The theoretical scores and clinical practice abilities of interns in the experimental group were superior to those in the control group (P < 0.05). The satisfaction scores of the experimental group regarding the teaching content and teaching methods were higher than those of the control group, and these differences were statistically significant (both P < 0.05). Additionally, there was no statistically significant difference in the satisfaction scores of interns from both groups regarding the teaching faculty (P > 0.05). Conclusions The application of the Seminar teaching model based on an online interactive platform in the teaching of neurosurgery interns can fully stimulate students learning enthusiasm and achieve complementary advantages between online and offline learning. It is conducive to consolidating clinical knowledge, enhancing the activity and openness of teaching activities, and is worth further promotion in teaching reform.
