Abstract

Abstract: Strengthening the cultivation of undergraduate scientific research abilities is a trend in medical education. This paper introduced the design and practice of summer-initiated research program in Peking University Health Science Center, which enrolled 171 students of the summer-initiated research program in 2023, compared and analyzed the students′ evaluation of their own scientific research capacities before and after the program, and sorted out the students′ experience and suggestions. After participating in the summer-initiated research program, the students have significantly improved their understanding of scientific research ethics [ (3.94±0.91) vs. (3.77±1.01)], capacities of literature review [(4.02±0.78) vs. (3.81±1.02)], selection of research methods [ (3.22±1.00) vs. (3.03±1.02)], statistics and analysis of research data [ (3.53±1.02) vs. (3.37±1.03)] and writing research reports [ (3.72±0.98) vs. (3.44±0.97)], with statistical significance. Summer-initiated research program is a feasible and effective way of cultivating the research abilities of medical undergraduates.

Key words: Students, medical, Scientific research capacities, Summer-initiated research program
