Application of multimedia in the teaching of pharmacological experiment course

Pharmacology is a bridge course connecting the basic medicine to the clinical medicine and the pharmacology experiment course is an important part of it because pharmacology is an experimental science and all facts written in the pharmacology textbook have already verified by so many pharmacological experiments. Since the beginning of the new century, the computer-assisted teaching has been widely applied in class. With the development of multimedia technology, multimedia classroom teaching has been injected a fresh vitality, but its shortcomings are revealed with its wide use. In this study, the experience on the pharmacological experiment teaching during the past years is summarized to discuss the optimized application of multimedia in the pharmacological experiment teaching and the cognition on it. ?
