To explore the application value of CBL combined with stratified training in the teaching reform of standardized training for resident physicians in urology, a total of 40 residents undergoing standardized residency training in the Department of Urology at Hunan Provincial People's Hospital from September 2019 to September 2022 were selected as the study subjects. They were randomly divided into an experimental group (n=20) and a control group (n=20). The experimental group adopted the "CBL combined with tiered training" teaching method, while the control group used the traditional teaching method. After the training, the teaching effectiveness of the two groups was evaluated through final exam scores, mini-CEX scores, and satisfaction questionnaires. The experimental group scored higher than the control group in both practical skills and theoretical exams, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05). At the end of the training, the mini-CEX scores of the experimental group were higher than those at the beginning, showing a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05). The mini-CEX scores of the experimental group were also higher than those of the control group at the end of the training, with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05). Additionally, the satisfaction survey scores of the experimental group were higher than those of the control group, with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05). CBL combined with tiered training helps improve the quality of urology residency training and enhances the subjective initiative of residents, making it worthy of promotion.
