AIM: To investigate the application effect of continuous quality improvement(CQI)in ophthalmic clinical teaching management.

METHODS: Since 2011, we adopted a series of CQI measures to manage clinical teaching, and compared teaching quality assessment contents before and after application of CQI.

RESULTS: After application of CQI, students' theory and skills scores, medical writing quality and satisfaction with teaching were significantly improved.

CONCLUSION: Application of CQI in management improves the quality of clinical teaching, and should be widely applied.
