Abstract

Abstract: As a tool of medical education research, longitudinal research database for medical education can effectively solve challenging and complex problems in medical education research by collecting measurement data of medical education outcomes and exploring the relationship between educational intervention and educational outcomes. As a continuous uniform recording and evaluation tool, longitudinal research database records the development of medical students' professional competency in the process from medical education to medical service, including the stages of basic medical education, post graduate medical education and continuing professional development, which is applied to evaluating medical education outcomes. The longitudinal database of medical education in China has not yet been established and needs to be accelerated to provide a reference basis for promoting medical education reform and improving medical education quality.

Key words: Longitudinal study, Database, Medical education, Evaluation research
