Study on the training model of rural order-directed free medical students

Objective:To establish the rural order-directed free medical students training model.Methods:The training model in 5-year clinical medicine specialty students among 68 schools,and rural order-directed free medical students among 26 schools nationwide were investigated.The preferences of training model in 20 medical education experts and 112 free medical students were analyzed.Results:Among the clinical medicine students in 68 medical colleges and free medical students in 26 medical colleges,the "3+1+1" training models in 29(42.6%) and 11(42.3%) schools,the "4+1" training models in 13(19.1%) and 5(19.2%) schools,the "3.5+1.5" training models in 10(14.7%) schools and 4(15.4%) schools,the "2.5+1+1.5" training models in 10(14.7%) schools and 4(15.4%) schools,and the "2+1.5+1.5" training models in 6(8.8%) schools and 2(7.7%) schools were implemented,respectively.Among 20 higher medical education experts and 112 free medical students hold a "very positive" attitude toward free medical students training models.Seven(35.0%) experts and 40(35.7)% students approved for "4+1",7(35.0%) experts and 58(51.8%) students approved for "3.5+1.5",10(50.0%) experts and 65(58.1%) students approved for "3+1+1",10(50.0%) and 60(53.6%) approved for (2.5+1+1.5),and 14(70.0%) experts and 77(68.8)% students approved for "2.5+1+1.5".Conclusions:The multiple training models coexist in 5-year clinical medicine and free medical students.
