Abstract

Objective To evaluate the alignment of the current clinical medicine postgraduate training model with the national demand for clinical research development by comparing the differences in clinical research competencies between clinical medicine postgraduates (pre-graduation) and clinical-research-track physicians (early career), thereby providing a reference for optimizing the talent training system. Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted among 290 clinical medicine postgraduates and 390 clinical-research-track physicians in a hospital between January and June 2025. The questionnaire covered dimensions including competency perception, resource acquisition, and practical challenges. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 26.0 software. Results There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in their recognition of the importance of clinical research competency (94.87% vs. 96.41%, χ2= 1.02, P=0.31). However, stage-specific characteristics were observed in competency structure: clinical medicine postgraduates were more concerned with clinical problem translation (85.52%) and research design (70.34%), while clinical-research-track physicians placed greater emphasis on deepening research methods and project management (59.49%). Analysis of influencing factors revealed that access to research resources (project funding: 28.28% vs. 86.67%, χ2=247.32, P<0.001; data support: 42.76% vs. 65.13%, χ2=32.66, P<0.001), systematic research guidance (38.62% vs. 62.56%, χ2=37.65, P<0.001), and guaranteed research time (79.31% vs. 59.49%, χ2=28.67, P<0.001) were key factors contributing to the competency differences between the groups (P<0.05). Conclusions The current clinical medicine postgraduate training model has transition gaps with the competency requirements of the early post-graduation career in the supply of research resources, systematic guidance, and time guarantee. It is suggested to optimize the training pathway through staged empowerment, resource allocation, and mechanism innovation to better meet the urgent demand for high-level clinical research talents under the “Healthy China” strategy.
