Deming cycle theory

namely the plan-do-check-act (PDCA) cycle theory

is a relatively advanced and widely used theory of quality management system in foreign countries

with both scientific and systematic features. The research group introduced the PDCA quality control theory into the eight-year clinical course assessment for the first time to carry out the reform of clinical course examination and actively promote the explanation and evaluation system for examination papers. After four years of follow-up research

the management means based on the PDCA cycle was continuously used to optimize the explanation and evaluation system for examination papers and improved the efficiency of clinical course examination. At present

certain achievements have been made

which include urging students to reflect on learning

promoting the implementation of the student-centered teaching philosophy

enhancing teachers' teaching input

and improving the management quality of teaching departments.
