Phase Evaluation of Professional Doctorate Education in Clinical Medicine Based on Questionnaire Survey
Objective:To identify issues in the training model of professional doctorate students in clinical medicine through a phase evaluation and propose improvement measures.Methods:A questionnaire was distributed to 109 graduates from the 2019-2020 cohort to gather information on their educational expectations,satisfaction with training goals,course learning,clinical practice,and clinical research.Additionally,expert reviews of dissertations were collected to comprehensively assess the appropriateness of the current model and talent cultivation goals.Results:82.41%of students expressed a desire to enhance clinical research and translational capabilities.90.84%were satisfied with the training goals,and 93.52%found that the greatest benefit from course learning was in clinical research methods.83.33%were satisfied with clinical practice,and 96.32%reported that the clinical research projects supervised by mentors supported their clinical research capabilities.Expert evaluations of the dissertations showed that the proportions of excellent ratings in the following areas were:topic selection(48.80%),reflection of fundamental knowledge and research ability(39.76%),standardization(36.45%),and innovation and value(33.13%).The clinical relevance of the dissertations was generally good,with research content focusing on clinical issues and key conclusions holding clinical significance.Conclusion:The current training model aligns well with the goals of cultivating high-level application-oriented talents in clinical medicine but has room for improvement.Suggested improvements include specialized admissions for clinical research projects,enhanced training in clinical research methodology and clinical specialty practice,promotion of the clinical application value of dissertations,and innovation in mentor selection mechanisms.
