Reforms in evaluation and training systems for constructing high-quality tutors for medical graduate students—the practice in Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

Considering the existing shortages in evaluation criteria, training systems and management modes, administrators from graduate schools of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine (SJTUSM) performed reforms and practice for the establishment of tutor teams which should meet the requirements for culturing talented medical graduates in recent years. We have established a multidimensional evaluation criteria system oriented by both representative academic achievements and the quality of graduate students. We have strengthened horizontal cooperation with relevant administrative departments in SJTUSM. We also emphasize the concepts of "training the trainees" coordinated with administrators in the training units to implement reform measures. Herein we have summarized the main reform measures in SJTUSM to constantly improve the quality of postgraduate tutor team and guarantee high-level postgraduate education.
