The factors of learning passion of medical students were analyzed by logistic regression analysis. Results The questionnaire of learning passion of medical students contained 12 measurement items, including 2 dimensions: harmonious passion and obsessive passion. The questionnaire was of fine reliability(Cronbach's Alpha =0.916)and validity(χ2/df=3.401, RMSEA=0.073, GFI=0.958). The learning passion of medical students was at upper middle level(4.390±0.934). The influence of achievement level(OR=1.691, 95%CI=1.415 to 2.021), school satisfaction(OR=0.586, 95%CI=0.402 to 0.854)and profession plan(short-term plan OR=2.121, 95% CI=1.310 to 3.434; long-term plan OR=3.822, 95% CI=1.972 to 7.405)on learning passion were statistically significant.
