Abstract：Objective To explore the application of PDCA cycle combined with simulation assessment in standardized training for resident physicians in our pediatric professional base.Methods This study selected 26 resident physicians from pediatric professional base who participated in the residency training graduation practical skills exam as the research subjects.Before the exam,simulated exams,feedback on simulated assessment results,and discussions were conducted,and two weak links in residency training management were found.First,they were lack of exercise in case writing in daily life,making it difficult to complete case writing within the specified time frame.Second,the clinical case analysis was incomplete,and the ability to receive patients and analyze clinical cases needed to be improved.Resident physicians in pediatric professional bases were required to write 2 copies of major illness cases per month,and there must be traces of guidance from physicians for revision.This paper adopted PDCA(plan,execute,inspect,and handle)for continuous improvement in a sequential manner.Results The passing rate of standardized training for pediatric residents and completion skills assessment was 100%.Conclusion PDCA cycle combined with simulation assessment is helpful for pediatric professional bases to complete standardized training of residents and pass the skills assessment.
