An empirical analysis of the quality of medical graduate education in China based on survey of supervisors
Objective To understand the evaluation of graduate education quality by medical graduate supervisors in China,to identify the shortcomings of graduate education quality,and to put forward corresponding suggestions.Methods From October to November 2023,a self-designed questionnaire was used to investigate the evaluation of school management,supervisor team construction,graduate training process,and graduate training results by 6 025 medical graduate supervisors from 37 universities in China.SPSS 26.0 was used to conduct t-test and analysis of variance to explore the differences in scores given by different supervisor groups for various aspects.Results The scores given by medical graduate supervisors for school management,supervisor team construction,graduate training process,and graduate training results were(4.63±0.60),(4.59±0.62),(4.58±0.59),and(4.54±0.62),respectively.Supervisors who work in clinical medicine,aged 46-55 years,with 5 or fewer years of teaching experience,supervising master's students,instructing only professional degree students,instructing three or fewer students,holding a bachelor's degree as their highest degree,with the title of professor,holding an administrative position,and working an average of 8-9 hours per day on weekdays and 4 or fewer hours per day on holidays,gave higher scores on all aspects of graduate education quality(P<0.05).Conclusions The supervisors gave high scores on the quality of medical graduate education.It is suggested that the quality of graduate education should be continuously improved by optimizing school management systems,strengthening the construction of supervisory teams,and focusing on the process and results of graduate education.
