The online teaching, daily self-education, following the law of memory to remember and re-recognize knowledge, strengthening the construction of teachers, improving teaching methods were used and evaluated. It’s found that the application of PDCA cycle can improve the residents' ability of clinical diagnosis and treatment in endocrine and metabolic diseases.
