Exploration and practice of undergraduate tutorial system in clinical medical colleges / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the necessity and feasibility of undergraduate tutorial system in clinical medical colleges.Methods:A questionnaire survey on the scientific research situation was conducted among 64 students from the long-term class and the base class of the Fourth Clinical Medical College of Capital Medical University from September 2015 to February 2018. The undergraduate tutorial system was tested in two classes for one year. After that, the questionnaire survey was conducted again to compare it with the system before implementation and analyze the trial situation of the tutorial system.Results:During the practice of the undergraduate tutorial system, it was found that most of the students wanted to participate in scientific research and were guided by tutors to improve their scientific research capabilities, but at the same time, it was also discovered that tutors were busy with their work and were unable to give insufficient guidance to the students. In terms of medical papers writing, from September 2015 to February 2018, 20 students in the long-term class participating in the tutorial system wrote 23 papers in total, and 9 students in the base class totally wrote 9 papers, with a significant difference ( P<0.05). From September 2015 to February 2018, 9 students from the base class wrote 9 papers, and from March 2018 to March 2019, there were 18 students from the base class who totally wrote 27 papers, with a significant difference ( P<0.05). Conclusion:It's feasible and necessary to implement the undergraduate tutorial system in clinical medical colleges.
