Abstract

Abstract: Objective This study provided overall evaluation on the effects of student advising by surveying how advising influences medical students' development in cognitive and non-cognitive capacity. Methods The data from China medical student survey 2020 that investigated medical undergraduate in China. Instrumental variable approach is used to identify the effects on students' cognitive and non-cognitive capacity development and sub-sample regression was applied to examine the heterogeneity treatment effects on different demographic features, family backgrounds and pre-college experience. Results Statistically significant effects of student advising satisfaction on students' academic interests (β=1.06), intention of medical career(β=0.391), engagement(β=0.405), self-efficacy(β=0.267) and performance ranking (β=0.061)were found. A closer scrutinization of the coefficients showed more significant impacts on students' non-cognitive capacity development. On the whole, students with pre-college experience or family support were benefited more from advising in terms of academic outcomes. On the other hand, disadvantaged students appeared to gain more in non-academic field such as vocational intention and subject interests. Conclusions Student advising has a positive impact on the development of medical undergraduates with heterogeneous effects. Attention should be paid to student advising by optimizing the functioning mechanism and targeted measures.
