Objective To explore the application value of Standardized Patients (SP) combined with literature-based instruction in the standardized training of residents in the TCM Encephalopathy Department. Methods Sixty-six trainees undergoing standardized training at Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine, Hainan Hospital from September 2023 to March 2025 were selected as the research subjects. They were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group using a random number table, with 33 students in each group. The experimental group received training using the SP combined with literature-based instruction method, while the control group received traditional training as required by the Department of Medical Education. The theoretical assessment scores, practical skills assessment scores, and teaching satisfaction were compared between the two groups. Results The experimental group showed higher scores in both the final assessment and teaching satisfaction compared to the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion SP combined with literature-based instruction can improve student performance and satisfaction, and is worthy of further promotion and application in residency standardized training.
