Abstract: Objective To investigate the teaching needs of clinical skills and scientific research skills in standardized training of surgical residents and to crient teaching remodeling. Methods A self-filling questionnaire survey was conducted in July 2018. Surgical residents of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, who are at the second and the third year of training, were gathered to sit in separate in classrooms. The filling methods and matters needing attention were explained uniformly. The trainees filled in the form of “back-to-back” by themselves. Totally 85 questionnaires were collected and 83 questionnaires were valid. This paper mainly investigates the training needs of clinical diagnosis and treatment, operation skills and scientific research skills. Results The demand of clinical skills is mostly manifested in the diagnosis and treatment of common surgical diseases and surgical teaching. The most demanded surgical teaching was “hand-holding” and acting as a assistant or master knife. The main requirements of scientific research skills are data collection, statistical methods (Meta analysis), scientific research design and project establishment, tender writing and bidding, and paper writing and publication. Conclusions The needs of surgical residents reflect their deficiencies in the diagnosis and treatment of common diseases, operation skill and research capacity. For this reason, the Surgical Teaching Group has put forward such reform schemes as “tutorial system” “animal model” “all-factor simulated surgery” “more scientific research training courses” and so on.
