Abstract: With the rapid development of life science in the 21st century, the basic knowledge database of life science has expanded rapidly, and both biologists and medical scientists have begun to pay attention to the translational research from foundation into clinical practice. As inter-disciplinary talents, physician-scientists are the link between life science and clinical practice. The United States has been in a leading position in the training of physician-scientist, but its training mode also has drawbacks such as the split of time and space between clinical and scientific training, as well as the lack of supporting translational courses. The University of Wisconsin has been carrying on a five-year experiment of curriculum reform to solve this contradiction. This article introduced the background of the physician-scientist training model, discussed the specific reform design and implementation process of the clinical translational research mentor system in the University of Wisconsin, and its inspiration for the construction of relevant training mode in China.
