Abstract: Objective Orientation is a kind of training for the residency who just graduated from medical school. We perform different types of orientation and discuss their efficiency for the new graduate medical students to become emergency residents. Methods 15 new graduate medical students randomly divided into 2 groups. One group is intensive orientation training, and the other group is traditional group. We compare their written exam scores before and after the orientation training. We perform surveys on their self-evaluation after they finish the orientation and 3 months later。Differences between these 2 groups are analyzed. Results The intensive training group has better scores on the written exam scores than the traditional group(78.25±5.90 Vs. 59.71±3.90,P=0.02). They have more confidence 3 months after orientation training(91.20±8.76 Vs. 75.46±6.56,P=0.03). Conclusion Intensive orientation training helps the medical students to become a residency more efficiently.

Key words: intensive orientation training, emergency residency training
