Meanwhile, the experimental group (30 students) accepted WeChat network platform teaching as well. After the end of the course, the theory examination and satisfaction survey were conducted.Results In the experimental group, the scores of theory examination were better than those of the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05) in terms of question types, including term explanation, multiple choice questions and blank- filling questions. But in essay question and case analysis, the scores of the experimental group were better than those of the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). In satisfaction survey, the experimental group were better than the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion As a supplementary means of modern medical education, the application of WeChat network platform teaching will be more extensive and worthy of popularization.
