  • challenges. Traditional transmission in teaching complex systemic knowledge (e.g., reporting dynamics), with almost 70% of medical (2). Multidimensional insufficient active competencies—including pathogen identification, epidemiological analysis, and prevention strategy formulation—are inadequately translated into clinical decision-making skills, particularly in outbreak response. The WHO Framework for Infectious Diseases Education highlights misalignment between textbook updates and the rapid evolution of emerging/re-emerging pathogens, advocating dynamic knowledge integration systems (3). The BOPPPS model (Bridge-in, Objective, Pre-assessment, Participatory Learning, Post-assessment, Summary) offers a structured solution. This six-stage closed-loop design enhances long-term knowledge retention (OR = 2.31, 95% CI: 1.89–2.83) through phased cognitive reinforcement (4). In anatomy education, BOPPPS improved spatial recognition accuracy by 29.7% (p = 0.003) via pre-assessment and participatory exercises (5). For pharmacokinetics, it increased complex problem-solving accuracy by 41.2% (95% CI: 35.6–46.8) (6). However, reports revealed that <2% of BOPPPS studies focused on infectious diseases, with scarce empirical data in emerging infections (7, 8). This RCT investigates BOPPPS efficacy in AIDS education, hypothesizing that its structured framework integrates knowledge, effectively than skills, and humanistic traditional methods.
