This study included 116 professional postgraduate students majoring in clinical surgery who rotated in the Department of Breast and Thyroid Surgery of The First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University from 2019 to 2022.The students were provided with open online courses on precision medicine to build a strong theoretical foundation for evidence-based medicine;subsequently,precision medicine courses focusing on thyroid surgery were offered;and multidisciplinary team rounds for typical and difficult-to-diagnose cases were organized.Taking thyroid cancer as an example,questionnaire surveys and typical clinical case assessment were conducted to compare the scientific research and professional competencies of the students before and after evidence-based medicine education.The results showed that the students had significantly improved ability to use academic databases to acquire professional knowledge and solve problems,and showed increased enthusiasm in class,believing that the teaching content was easy to absorb and moderate in difficulty and the teaching effect was good.
