Abstract: Objective To study the feasibility of lecture-based learning ( LBL) combined with Rain Classroom in the teaching of diagnostics. Methods This study included 54clinical medicine students. These students were randomly divided into LBL teaching group（n=26）and LBL combined with Rain Classroom teaching group (n=28). Tests and questionnaires were used to evaluate the teaching effects. Test scores and student feedback on teaching of two groups were compared. Results The experimental group scored higher than the control group. Compared with LBL teaching , LBL combined with Rain Classroom teaching could significantly mobilize learning interest, improve the ability of autonomous learning, enhance the ability of comprehensive analysis and the ability of clinical thinking. Conclusion Compared with the single LBL teaching method,LBL combined with Rain Classroom teaching method could not only enhance teaching quality of diagnostics, but also cultivate the comprehensive quality of students. LBL combined with Rain Classroom teaching method provides a new form for teaching.
