Abstract Objective To explore the application effect and practical value of curriculum integration in the teaching of psychiatry and developmental and behavioral pediatrics in pediatric medical students. Methods A total of 167 medical students majoring in pediatrics from Xinhua Clinical Medical College, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from 2016 to 2019 were enrolled as the research objects for teaching psychiatry and developmental and behavioral pediatrics. Among them, 78 students were in the conventional teaching group as control, and 89 students were in the integrated teaching group. In the control group, lecture-based learning (LBL) mode was adopted; in the integrated teaching group, the teaching mode of the two courses was carried out in the form of integration, including case-based learning (CBL) mode and problem-based learning (PBL) mode. And the content of the two courses was integrated well. After learning, feedback was given and teaching practice was assessed through the evaluation of professional examination scores and the investigation of clinical teaching quality. Results After the implementation of the integrated teaching, the medical students' awareness of the integrated curriculum was improved. The performance of the integrated teaching got positive evaluation. The scores of psychiatry test and developmental behavioral pediatrics test, and satisfaction level of the students to the integrated curriculum in the integrated group were higher than those in the control group with significant differences (P<0.05). Conclusion The integrated curriculum is helpful to pediatric medical students in improving the learning enthusiasm and mastering the professional knowledge of psychiatry and developmental and behavioral pediatrics. And the integrated curriculum could be wildly used in medical teaching.
