Abstract: Objective To investigate the clinical and scientific research capacity of Eight-Year Program graduates of clinical medicine from Peking University Health Science Center and so to provide reference for the development and reform of eight-year clinical medicine program.Methods Questionnaires were distributed to 197 undergraduates from 2009 to 2016 Eight-Year Clinical Medicine Program graduates from Peking University Health Science Center to perform self-evaluation and peer evaluation for capacity in clinical performance, scientific research and their evaluation to school education.Results For self-evaluation on clinical ability, the scores for doctor-patient communication (3.97±0.67), operational skill (3.96±0.63) and self-learning capacity (3.96±0.63) ranked in the top three; and in peer evaluation, the scores for professional knowledge (4.48±0.66), operational ability (4.44±0.70), self-learning capacity (4.43±0.75) ranked in the top three. Totally 76.5%(114/149) of their peers regarded the scientific research ability of the eight-year program graduates is relatively or very well, and 70.1%(138/197) of the eight-year program graduates thought that the university education lacked innovation in scientific research cultivation.Conclusions The eight-year program undergraduates have good clinical ability and certain scientific research capacity. The survey also reflects the needs of undergraduates for extensive training for research capacity building.
