ABSTRACT
Since the establishment of eight-year clinical medicine specialty, in line with the princi-ple of "eight-year consistency and fusion of the bachelor and doctor degree", the training mode of "strength-ening the foundation, focusing on quality, overall optimization, facing the clinical" has been implemented. In order to reach the standard of professional doctorate, a series of courses of professional doctorate need to be fused in limited time and designed carefully by medical schools. However, grasping proper teaching time and opportunity is particularly important for students' learning and development. By collecting the courses information of 11 medical colleges and universities offering eight-year clinical medicine specialty, we have analyzed the teaching time, methods and course categories of scientific research training courses and graduate degree courses, aiming to find the appropriate teaching program.
