Abstract: Basic research skills training for postgraduate medical students in clinical hospitals can help consolidate their technical skills of scientific research, cultivate good research literacy, enhance their innovation ability, and lay a solid foundation for their future research work. In this paper, we take as an example the basic scientific research skills training course for graduates at the Peking University Third Hospital, and expound the design and implementation of this training from three aspects: teaching objectives, group of teachers and teaching modules. Evaluate teaching effectiveness through course grades, questionnaire surveys, and teacher-student interviews. The results showed that 11 graduate students (20.4%) achieved a grade of “A-” or higher, while the remaining students′ grades were distributed between “B” and “B+”. Among the 54 valid questionnaires, 52 students (96.3%) and 50 students (92.6%) thought that the course was helpful to improve their practical and innovative abilities. Also, 48 students (88.9%) considered that the research training courses are very helpful for the implementation of the project. Among the 26 students who participated in the discussion, 22 students (84.6%) gave positive comments on the course content and teaching form. Combined with the results of questionnaire survey and discussion, this course should be updated in the teaching content and form in a targeted and timely manner. The establishment of basic research skills training course for graduates in clinical hospitals is helpful to cultivate graduates′ comprehensive scientific research ability and accomplishment. Appropriate curriculum innovation is beneficial to the promotion of teaching.
