Objective To design a course for young practitioners on medical innovation and technology translation and to evaluate the satisfaction and expectation of trainees. Methods Accompanying with the “Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH) Medical Innovation Course”, an intramural training program for young staff in PUMCH, a questionnaire survey was conducted after the course. The characteristics of those trainees, their feedback of the course and demands for further training and resource docking were obtained and analyzed. Chi-square tests were used to analyze the differences between subjects owned intellectual property (IP) and those owned no IP. Results Among the 55 who participated in the survey, most of their innovation projects were about medical devices [54.5%(30/55)] and digital medicine [21.8%(12/55)], 43.6% (24/55) of them owned no intellectual property (IP). In the whole PUMCH Medical Innovation Course, the most helpful lecture was “Interpretation of Policies on Technology Transfer” for all subjects, followed by “How Clinicians Lead Medical Innovation” and “Layout and Management of the Complete Process of Technology Transfer for Medical Instruments” for subjects with and without IP, respectively. For knowledges and skills they demanded most, in which subjects with IP preferred “how to develop business plans (BP) and to access enterprise financings” and subjects without IP, preferred “how to apply for patents”[50.0%(12/24) vs. 12.9%(4/31), P=0.001; 87.1%(27/31) vs. 45.8%(11/24), P=0.003]. As for resource docking, subjects with no IP rights differed significantly from those owned IP in demands for building up research teams, patent filling services and resources of start-up incubators [41.7%(10/24) vs.12.9%(4/31), P=0.015; 29.2%(7/24) vs. 3.2%(1/31), P=0.007; 8.3%(2/24) vs. 48.4%(15/31), P=0.001]. Conclusions The promotion of medical innovation and technology translation should pay attention to innovation projects on medical equipment and digital medicine. Subjects with IP differed from those without in demands for resources and their preferences for the lectures. Designing a similar course in the future should take into accounts these differences between the two subgroups.
