ObjectiveTo analyze the status of scientific papers published by clinical medicine postgraduates during the "double-track integration" training period. MethodsData of publications of 634 clinical medicine postgraduate students who were been trained in the "double-track integration" system in West China School of Medicine, Sichuan University from 2015 to 2017 were collected. The data of the papers published during the concurrent training and residency were retrospectively analyzed. Results634 postgraduates with master degree in clinical medicine published 1 038 papers in total. Students from 3 grades published 1.606, 1.554 and 1.785 papers on average respectively, and the overall average number of publications was 1.637 per person. The composition ratios of the journal types of articles were: SCI, 37.96%; MEDLINE, 6.55%; Chinese core journals, 55.49%. Statistical differences were found in the types of journals published in the three grades. The composition ratios of article types were: case report, 24.56%; review, 34.01%; original study, 41.43%. There was no statistical difference in the composition of article types in 3 grades. All 634 graduate students met the requirements for thesis publication and succeeded in completing the training. ConclusionsIn the "double-track integration" training system, postgraduates with master degree in clinical medicine can meet the training requirements of publishing relevant articles prior to graduation.
Objective To investigate the improvement of professional and research abilities of medical imaging technology trainees after completing their training, and to provide reference for a clinical and research-oriented training model. Methods Medical imaging technology trainees who pursuedfurther training in the Department of Radiology at West China Hospital of Sichuan University between March 2020 and February 2024 were enrolled. Data were collected through targeted questionnaires, covering personal information, training process, and post-training outcomes upon returning to their home institutions. Results A total of 150 questionnaires were distributed, and 128 were returned. The survey results showed that trainees who successfully implemented new technologies were more likely to have held administrative positions prior to training compared to those who did not (34.7% vs. 15.1%; P=0.023). Trainees who trained for 6 months were more likely to participate in publications compared to those who trained for 3 months [odds ratio=4.77, 95% confidence interval (1.27, 17.96), P=0.021]. Conclusion The clinical and research training system enables imaging technologists to better implement new technologies and improve research abilities upon returning to their home institutions.
