The average value of the social adaptability of 201 clinical postgraduates was (17.00±11.12), so social adaptation ability of them was general. There were significant differences in the social adaptation ability of clinical professional master's degree between different genders, grades and working experience (P<0.05). The student was in difference family sources, length of life and father/mother master's degree had statistical significance difference in social adaptation ability (P<0.05). The score of graduate students from rural areas [(19.59±11.77)] was higher than that of urban students [(15.34±10.78)] and and city students (15.14±10.92).
