Abstract: Objective To understand the current status of clinical teaching in Nephrology Division at PUMCH. Method On-line survey were conducted in all medical students who had their rotations in Nephrology ward between May. 2016 and April 2018 as well as every attending physician in Nephrology Division. Questions were mainly about teaching objectives, forms of teaching and obstacles in clinical teaching. Result Learning objectives were not clear and organized teaching activities were lacking. Although medical students and attending physicians had different thoughts in learning objectives, the basic content of education had been carried out properly. Heavy clinical work and lack of incentive system were the main difficulties affecting clinical teaching. Conclusions Teaching objectives should be clarified before the rotation. The modes of clinical teaching should be modified. Multiple educational methods should be used to improve the education.
