Analysis of the Present Situation of the Cultivation of Scientific Research and Innovation Ability of Medical Students and Exploration of the Scientific Research Training Mode

Abstract

Background To investigate the problems and countermeasures faced by five-year clinical medical students in an entrepreneurship training programme for medical students from different perspectives to promote medical teaching reforms.Methods A total of 600 five-year clinical medicine majors (grades 16-18) of Bengbu Medical College (including those who did and did not participate in large-scale innovative projects) were studied by means of network questionnaires and interviews. Statistical analysis was used to analyse the results. Results Students generally hope to improve the teaching quality and teaching mode of scientific research; they have strong interest in scientific research and hope to conduct scientific research training in their spare time without affecting their studies. Moreover, students hope to improve the incentive policy for innovation and to optimize the funding for scientific research and the policy of laboratory opening. Conclusions Clinical medical students in our hospital attach great importance to the cultivation of scientific research ability, understand the problems faced by medical undergraduates in the process of innovative projects, and provide specific quantitative data for the reform of medical education modes to cultivate the innovative ability of medical students.

The Impact of Undergraduate Tutor System in Chinese 8-Year Medical Students in Scientific Research

“…The reason might be that these temporarily arranged teachers were difficult to enter the heart of the students, conduct in-depth conversation, and establish a good relationship. Similarly, Pan et al also discovered that the toughest difficulties for students in the cultivation of scientific research and innovation ability were insufficient communication frequency with their tutors and a lack of guidance at important stages hindering the establishment of scientific research thinking ( 20 ). The students whose tutors without professional titles were clearer about their career planning compared with the ones with tutors of master supervisors.…”

“…For paper writing, one of the most important abilities is logical thinking based on the analysis of experimental results. Students in group B had multiple tutors who could provide them with more projects for data processing and writing training, and more training would naturally help students master the skills and increase their confidence ( 20 ). Proposing and designing scientific research projects reflect students' sensitivity to scientific research, which is also a way to apply their theoretical knowledge, innovative thinking, and comprehensive quality in scientific research ( 23 , 24 ).…”

Research on the Mechanism of Training Innovation Ability for Chinese Postgraduates

“…The postgraduate training institutions should improve the training concept, change the existing incentive mode focusing on the publication of papers, avoid excessive use of utilitarianism incentive mode, strengthen scientific guidance, continue to promote graduate curriculum reform, focus on guiding graduate students to form a positive learning motivation led by innovative thinking, improve comprehensive management efficiency, and enhance postgraduates' scientific research and innovation capabilities.
