Methods A total of 20 graduate students who were receiving clinical specialty training in turns in Inpatient Area No.1 of Center for Cerebrovascular Diseases of Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University were taken as teaching subjects and were randomly divided into APTM group and classical teaching method group. The literature report was arranged once a week and the teaching period lasted for 3 months. Students were asked to report one abstract in ten minutes in APTM group, and 5 students made presentation one by one. While in classical methods group, only one student did the literature report on a specific topic for 50 minutes. The effects of these teaching methods were compared. Results Compared with the classical teaching method, APTM method let students read more papers, did more reports and spent less time. APTM method could significantly improve graduate students’ abilities in literature reading, literature reporting, extending medical knowledge, clinical analysis and solving problems and so on.
