The Importance of College Students’ Innovative Entrepreneurial Training Plan Program in Cultivation of Medical Undergraduates’ Scientific Research Literacy

Abstract

Objective: To explore the roles of College Students’ Innovative Entrepreneurial Training Plan Program (SIETP) on improving scientific research ability and clarifying career planning of medical students. Methods: Questionnaire survey was used to investigate 200 undergraduates in different majors of Health Science Center of Yangtze University. The questionnaire consists of three parts: the status of respondents participating in scientific research, the distribution of students participating in scientific research activities in different majors and grades, the effects of SIETP on medical students’ scientific research ability and career planning. Results: The survey showed that 87% of students were willing to participate in scientific research. 65% of students didn’t familiar with scientific research. Of the 200 students, only 44 (22%) had participated in scientific research projects, among which clinical medicine students account for the largest proportion, 61.4%. The proportion of senior students participating in scientific research activities was higher than that of junior students, and the proportion of male students was higher than female students. SIETP could significantly improve scientific research awareness, literature consulting ability, project design ability, data analysis and processing ability of students (P Conclusion: The medical students in our university had insufficient understanding and low participation in scientific research. SIETP could help students improve their scientific research literacy, it has a good guiding role for medical students’ future career planning.
