Background. The factors affecting learning have been always under special consideration by educational experts. It seems necessary to learn about students’ study habits, styles and resources to realize their weaknesses and strengths, and make suggestions regarding educational revisions based on this information. This study was performed to determine medical students, interns and residents study styles in obstetrics and gynecology department in Shahid Beheshti Hospital of Isfahan. Methods. In a descriptive study, 260 medical students, interns and residents were studied through a simple random sampling. The data gathering tool was a questionnaire whose validity was confirmed by content validity and its reliability by test/re-test. The data was analyzed by SPSS software using relative and absolute frequency. Results. 45% of the students and 50% of interns studied books during the semester and used their notes for the exam as a study resource. The residents always used books. Most students, interns and residents studied translated books. Forty two point five percent of them had a special hour for the study and most of them studied during the night. Being married, having children and residents’ responsibilities at the hospital were the most important barriers for studying in this group. Conclusion. The study method, duration and resources used by students, interns and residents were inadequate and require some changes. It is also recommended to provide them with education and facilities in this regard.
