This study explored the application and practice of integrating ideological and political elements into the hybrid teaching model of Student Standardized Patients (SSP) and Case-based Learning (CBL) in the Rehabilitation Assessment Technology course. Through a one-semester teaching experiment with 95 rehabilitation therapy major students, methods such as questionnaires, classroom observations, and learning outcome assessments were used to analyze the impact of this teaching model on students’ professional knowledge acquisition, clinical thinking ability, professional qualities, and ideological and political qualities. The research results show that the SSP and CBL hybrid teaching model integrated with ideological and political elements can significantly improve students’ learning interest and participation, enhance professional skills and clinical thinking ability, and effectively cultivate students’ professional ethics and social responsibility. This study provides new ideas and practical references for the teaching reform of rehabilitation medicine education.
