The teaching content focused on the prevention, control, diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19. Methods: Thirty clinical interns who entered the Department of Respiratory Medicine in our hospital from June 2020 to December 2020 were selected as the research objects and were randomly divided into two groups. The control group adopted traditional teaching methods and the experimental group adopted PDCA cycle. The teaching effect of the two group was compared. Results: The experimental group that used the PDCA cycle method had significantly higher theoretical knowledge, treatment skills, and comprehensive quality evaluation of COVID-19 than the traditional teaching method of the control group. Conclusion: The application of the PDCA cycle method in clinical teaching activities can improve the teaching process during the outbreak of COVID-19 and help improve the overall quality of clinical interns.
