The Impact of Undergraduate Tutor System on Scientific Research Ability for Clinical Medicine Students
Objective To evaluate the impact of undergraduate tutor system on scientific research ability for clinical medicine students.Methods From May to June 2023,a questionnaire was conducted for 160 full-time undergraduate students majoring in clinical medicine at West China School of Clinical Medicine,Sichuan University,and as the subjects.The survey was conducted through questionnaires to analyze the fundamental information,research output,attitudes towards the undergraduate mentorship system,current status,and suggestions.According to the relevant factors of undergraduate research output,all subjects were divided into research output group and non-output group and compared the differences in the departments,professional titles,and frequency of meeting with undergraduate supervisors between two groups.Results A total of 160 questionnaires were distributed,and 153 questionnaires were collected.The valid rate of recovery was 95.6%.110 students(71.9%)supported the implementation of the undergraduate supervisor system,while 96 students(62.7%)expressed that the undergraduate supervisor system helped to enhance and exercise their research abilities.In terms of suggestions for improving the undergraduate supervisor system,83.7%of students suggested increasing the frequency of meetings with supervisors.The survey results showed that 89 students(58.2%)had scientific research output,while 64 students(41.8%)did not.The results showed that there were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of gender,academic department,and academic title of undergraduate tutors(P>0.05).A total of 38 students(42.7%)from the output group met with their mentors at high frequencies,34(38.2%)at medium frequencies,and 17(19.1%)at low frequencies.In the non-output group,a total of 17 students(26.6%)met with their supervisors at high frequencies,19(29.7%)at medium frequencies,and 28(43.8%)at low frequencies.There was a significant difference in the frequency of meetings between students and tutors between the two groups(P<0.05).Conclusion The undergraduate tutor system effectively improves the scientific research ability and output of clinical medicine students.The frequency of communication between undergraduate supervisors and students affects their research output.
