Abstract: The objective of medical research is to explore the essence of life science, to reveal the mechanisms of human diseases and to improve human health and diagnosis and treatment level. This requires the medical graduates to have more prominent innovative thinking, more comprehensive scientific quality, more rigorous academic style and more tenacious scientific spirit. To this end, we established a new curriculum of academic literacy and research ability for the medical graduates based on the teaching practices in the Department of Neurobiology of Fourth Military Medical University in the past two years. This aims to cultivate outstanding medical graduates and to lay a solid foundation for the professional medical talents.

Key words: Medical graduates, academic literacy, research ability
