ABSTRACT: This paper aims to explore a new teaching model in which clinical interns take the primary role in conducting diabetes health education, assessing its practical value in enhancing patient education outcomes and the comprehensive abilities of interns. By constructing an integrated intern teaching system encompassing “theoretical learning—skill training—practice leadership—supervision and feedback”, interns, under the guidance of instructors, independently or collaboratively complete the design, implementation, and evaluation of diabetes health education courses. Multi-dimensional indicators such as questionnaires, skill assessments, and patient feedback were used to compare and analyze the effects before and after the implementation of the new model. This model significantly improved the interns’ communication skills, ability to integrate professional knowledge, and sense of professional achievement. Simultaneously, the novel and diverse educational formats significantly increased the participation rate, knowledge acquisition rate, and adherence to self-management behaviors among diabetic patients. Conclusion: The intern-led diabetes health education model is an effective innovative practice of “teaching benefits teachers and students alike”. It not only provides patients with high-quality, dynamic health education services but also opens a new path for cultivating medical talents with excellent humanistic qualities and clinical practical abilities, demonstrating significant promotional value.
