Abstract: The goal of professional degree postgraduate in clinical medicine training is to cultivate high-level medical talents with strong clinical practice ability and research capacity.However,the current training mode often leads to the embarrassing situation of graduate students' lack of research capacity.Professional degree postgraduates will rotate clinical departments with clinical standardization trainees for 33 months in 36 months according to the training program in Tongji Medical College,Huazhong University of Science and Technology.The intensive clinical work has brought great challenges to how to train and improve the research capacity of graduate students with professional degrees.In this paper,we summarize the problems highlighted in the training mode of professional degree postgraduates,and some effective attempts we have made to solve the difficulties in training postgraduates' research capacity.For example,using journal club to train students' logical thinking ability in research;guiding postgraduates to carry out research based on clinical needs;compiling the textbook Medical Section of Experimental Course for Professional Degree Postgraduates and adding the optional course.These attempts not only do not occupy the students' clinical working time,but also greatly improve their research capacity and achieve the desired results.
