Abstract:
Objective To systematically evaluate the training quality of international students majoring in medicine at Bengbu Medical University and propose optimization strategies under the dual background of "Belt and Road Initiative" and "All-Round Education" concept.
Methods A total of 39 international medical master's students recruited by Bengbu Medical University from 2016 to 2024 were included as the research subjects. The dimensions of the teacher resources allocation, basic information of postgraduate students, education and training program, implementation of classroom teaching, training process of clinical skills and career development path of graduates were evaluated.
Results The research showed that all 14 responsible mentors were the key teachers with more than 10 years of medical education experience. Among them, 71.4% (10/14) had a doctoral degree, and the coverage rate of senior professional titles was 100%. Training effectiveness: Among the 21 graduates (53.8%), 33.3% (7/21) continued their studies for a medical doctorate, and 66.7% (14/21) returned to China to serve as clinical doctors. In terms of the composition of current student population, students from Asian and African countries accounted for 94.4% (17/18), and those from North American countries accounted for 5.6% (1/18). In terms of gender and age, the proportion of females was 61.1% (11/18), and the age was (27.94 ± 2.82) years old. In terms of educational background, 94.4% (17/18) completed undergraduate education in clinical medicine in China, and 72.2% (13/18) passed the Chinese proficiency test at the intermediate and advanced levels or above. The evaluation of training quality showed that the recognition rate of the rationality of curriculum setting was 94.4%, the satisfaction rate of theoretical teaching was 100%, the satisfaction rate of mentor guidance was 94.4%, and the satisfaction rate of clinical skills training was 94.4%.
Conclusions The training system receives high satisfaction ratings in terms of curriculum structure, faculty allocation and clinical training.
