Abstract: Objective To analyze the quality of master's degree dissertations in clinical medicine and provide empirical support for formulating measures to improve the training quality of master students in clinical medicine. Methods Using the data analysis method, 126 master's degree dissertations in clinical medicine from a medical university participating in the sampling of educational administration from 2019 to 2021 were taken as the research data. Expert review opinions and grade scores were analyzed. Descriptive statistical methods were used to analyze the evaluation results. Results Among 126 dissertations, there were 86 professional degree dissertations, with an excellent rate of 3.5% (3/86), an excellent and good rate of 80.2% (69/86), and an unqualified rate of 7.0% (6/86). There were 40 academic degree dissertations, with an excellent rate of 2.5% (1/40), an excellent and good rate of 90.0% (36/40), and an unqualified rate of 5.0% (2/40). Conclusions The excellent and good rate of dissertations of master's degree in clinical medicine is relatively high, but the excellent rate is low, and the overall quality of professional degree dissertations is lower than that of academic degree dissertations. Therefore, in order to further improve the quality of dissertations of master students in clinical medicine, the training process should be improved, the scientific research exercise should be strengthened, and the dissertation management should also be perfected.
