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.
