Objective To analyze the innovative ability of medical postgraduate students who have won national scholarships, and discuss the cultivation of innovative ability of clinical medicine postgraduate students and related factors. Methods A survey was based on the 2016 and 2017 postgraduate students majoring in clinical medicine at West China School of Medicine of Sichuan University. According to whether they had won a national scholarship, they were divided into a national scholarship group and a control group. The innovation ability and cognitive differences of the two groups of postgraduate students were compared, and related factors were explored. Results A total of 1 173 valid questionnaires were responsed, with a response rate of 80.23%. There was no statistically significant difference in gender and major between the two groups of postgraduate students (P>0.05). For master’s degree postgraduate students, the proportion of published papers in international medical journals (80.95% vs. 29.63%), published high impact factor (impact factor≥6) journal papers (7.84% vs. 6.16%), applied for research patents (12.70% vs. 3.51%) and innovation and entrepreneurship competition awards (20.63% vs. 3.93%) in the national scholarship group were higher than the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). For doctor’s degree postgraduate students, the proportion of published papers in international medical journals (96.00% vs. 69.66%), published high impact factor journal papers (22.22% vs. 8.89%), applied for research patents (17.33% vs. 8.36%), and innovation and entrepreneurship competition awards (17.33% vs. 1.86%) in the national scholarship group were higher than the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Regarding the cognition of the composition of innovation ability, the differences between the national scholarship group and the control group were not statistically significant (P>0.05). Regardless of master’s degree or doctor’s degree, more than 40% of the postgraduate students in the national scholarship group and the control group believed that the most important factor in the personal influence of innovation ability was the knowledge factor, and more than 45% of the postgraduate students believed that the most important factors affecting the cultivation of innovative ability was their own factors or tutors’ factors. Conclusions The innovative ability of clinical medicine postgraduate students needs to be improved. The level of tutors’ scientific research ability, tutors’ guidance, high-quality scientific research team, and a good academic atmosphere play an important role in the cultivation of innovation ability. Optimizing the team of tutors, forming a scientific research steering group, building a high-level innovation platform, aiming at publishing high-level papers, strengthening domestic and foreign exchanges and cooperation, and motivating students to participate in innovation and entrepreneurship competitions are powerful measures to cultivate innovative medical talents.
The Chinese government invested National Major Science and Technology Infrastructure for Translational Medicine (NITM) is a research platform with large-scale science facilities designed for opening and sharing. NITM is required to share its research facilities to domestic and international users and to facilitate interdisciplinary cooperation and innovation, it is also required to cooperate with other national major science and technology infrastructures so that these infrastructures can work together to enhance the nation’s international competitiveness in science and technology. This paper proposes to apply the concept of open innovation and designs an innovation model for the management of NITM.
The innovative behavior of clinical nurses is of great significance for the professional development of nurses and the improvement of nursing service quality. This research topic has received continuous attention from domestic and foreign scholars. There is still significant room for improvement in the level of innovative behavior among clinical nurses in China. Constructing effective interventions to enhance innovative behavior among clinical nurses in China is an urgent requirement to promote the development of nursing informatization and nursing quality. This article reviews the intervention forms, theoretical support, effectiveness, and limitations of innovative behaviors among clinical nurses both domestically and internationally. It proposes prospects for future intervention plans, aiming to provide ideas and references for nursing managers to develop tailored, scientific, and effective intervention strategies.
Scientific research innovation capability represents a core competence for postgraduate students, with curriculum-based teaching laying the theoretical and technical foundation for their scientific endeavors. However, existing postgraduate courses on scientific research innovation often suffer from issues such as excessive redundancy and overlapping content. Addressing these challenges, the West China School of Medicine, Sichuan University, has innovatively developed a curriculum system tailored for clinical medicine master's students. Guided by the innovation chains of clinical and basic scientific research, and grounded in students' practical research needs, the system centers on two flagship courses: clinical research design and statistical analysis, and biomedical research strategies and experimental technical ability. This initiative has proven effective in enhancing students' scientific thinking and innovative capacities.
With the continuous advancement of technology, the field of retinal surgery is poised to witness an increasing array of innovations and breakthroughs. The innovation in retinal surgery plays a pivotal role in enhancing the success rate of operations, reducing the risk of complications, and improving patient prognosis and quality of life. This encompasses innovations in vitrectomy systems, the novel application of vitrectomy in treating other ocular diseases, advancements in retinal surgical techniques, technological and conceptual innovations, as well as multidisciplinary collaboration, all of which contribute to the ongoing development in the treatment of retinal diseases. Therefore, innovations in retinal surgery should receive significant attention from ophthalmologists specializing in retinal diseases with the best service to patients.
