Abstract: Medical Research Methodologies and Statistical Analysis advocates the organic integration of clinical epidemiology and medical statistics, and informs further improvement by evaluating the impact of course reform. A total of 494 postgraduates of grade 2022 were enrolled in this study. The course reform was evaluated by describing the design and implementation process of Medical Research Methodologies and Statistical Analysis, and by analyzing the satisfaction level of postgraduates regarding course perception, course materials, course settings and lecture effects. The results showed that 433(94.5%) of the 458 postgraduates were interested in the course and 448(97.8%) recognized its importance; 435(95.0%), 425(92.8%) and 437(95.4%) thought that the theoretical textbook, practical textbook, and multimedia courseware were practical, respectively. In addition, 435(95.0%) thought that course arrangement was appropriate, and the performance of postgraduates improved after the course [10.0(8.0,13.0) vs 16.0(14.0, 18.0), P<0.001]. In conclusion, Postgraduate students were highly satisfied with this course, and the effect of the course reform was favorable, which can help students understand the scientific research methodology and statistical analysis methods, and may be transferrable for other medical schools.
