Abstract：Objective To evaluate residents'self-directed learning pathways,and their knowledge,attitudes,and practices related to evidence-based medicine in the context of the popularity of WeChat.Methods A questionnaire was used to survey residents in 16 tertiary-level hospitals in Zhejiang Province.Results A total of 712 valid questionnaires were returned,of which 71.49%were from undergraduate students.The top three specialities were internal medicine(29.49%),surgery(11.80%)and general medicine(10.96%).Residents ranked WeChat in the top 3 independent learning pathways for clinical encounters,teaching rounds,didactic mini-lectures,and other types of debriefings.Less than 5%of residents were very knowledgeable about knowledge and tools related to evidence-based medicine.Conclusion WeChat public platforms are increasingly becoming an important avenue for the evidence-based practice of resident physicians.While their knowledge of EBM remains limited,they recognize its value.There is still room for improvement in the use of WeChat public platforms for this purpose.
