Abstract:  Electronic medical record (EMR) has many superiorities such as convenient writing, long-term of preservation, resource-saving, integrity of data, efficient retrieval and sharability. It has improved the interns’ work efficiency in ophthalmologic clinical teaching and provided more clinical teaching resources. But at the same time it also has limitations such as the decreasing quality of medical records, limiting students’ thinking, and weakening clinicians’ teaching consciousness. Aimed at these pros and cons, we should take advantages of it and overcome the deficiencies to improve the quality of ophthalmologic clinical teaching. (Ophthalmol CHN, 2014, 23: 137-139)
