Abstract: Objective This study aims to examine the application effect of combined PediaSIM ECS with PBL pedagogy in pediatrics teaching. Methods A total of 173 clinical medicine students from Gansu Health Vocational College in 2019 were randomly divided into two groups. The experimental group comprised 88 students who were taught using PediaSIM ECS model combined with PBL teaching method, while the control group comprised 85 students who were taught using traditional classroom teaching methods. Results The results of the experimental group were significantly better than those of the control group (P<0.05) in the two examination chapters, and the growth curve demonstrated improvement in learning progress. The questionnaire results showed that students were satisfied with this learning method and improved multiple abilities including clinical thinking skills. Conclusion The combination of PediaSIM ECS and PBL teaching method can enhance the pediatric performance of clinical medical students, and foster their self-learning ability, clinical thinking, group cooperation, and practical operation ability.
