Objective  To investigate the situation and problems of medical evidence-based medicine (EBM) teaching in China.
Methods  One hundred and four participants from different hospitals or universities of China in 2005 “Evidence-Based Medicine Teachers Advanced Training Workshop Ⅱ of Ministry of Education” were investigated. A selfcomplete questionnaire on EBM teaching was given at the registration.
Results  Seventy five questionaires from responders who came from 50 medical institutions of 18 provinces and 25 cities were available for analysis, representing a response rate of 72%. The average age of responders were 38 years old, and 61.3% were graduates. And 14 hospitals or universities have given EBM courses. Namely, for the postgraduates in 9 universities, undergraduates in 2 universities, physicians, nurses and medical managers in 2 hospitals. The lectures lasted from 8 to 36 hours in different units. Di~culties were:lack of EBM teachers, and better understanding the concept and approach of EBM, less paid attention by policy makers, and too busy in specialty.
