Abstract: Objective To evaluate the necessity and effect of knowledge needed for research in the education of research-oriented medical graduates. Methods In March 2021, medical experts introduced the knowledge needed for the first-year medical graduates in Qinghai University Affiliated Hospital. Questionnaire survey was conducted to understand the current situation of graduates' understanding of the aim of training for the physician-scientists before the training and evaluate its necessity. The learning outcomes were evaluated by the comparison before and after the training. Results Only 55.16% of graduates understood the difference between traditional clinicians and physician-scientists before training, and 54.37% knew the difference between traditional clinical reasoning and clinical research logics, which indicated that it was very necessary to carry out teaching of knowledge as physician-scientists to medical graduates. After training, 95.78% of graduate students knew the difference between traditional clinicians and physician-scientists, and 86.75% of them knew the difference between traditional clinical reasoning and physician-scientists logics, which was significantly higher than that before training (P<0.01). Conclusions Medical graduates have insufficient knowledge needed by physician-scientists. Training can significantly improve their understanding of physician-scientists.
