A preliminary study of the cultivation of clinical research thinking for academic postgraduate students in critical care medicine

The training of academic postgraduate students in critical care medicine emphasizes basic knowledge and underestimates the importance of clinical practice. Research objectives are innovative, but with a lack of practicability, and thus cannot meet the huge needs for clinical research in this major. Under the guidance of the concept of translational medicine, the training of academic postgraduate students should strengthen clinical observation and systematic learning of clinical knowledge, enhance the accumulation of clinical data, improve the quality of data statistics, reinforce the training on clinical research processes, standards, and methods, and emphasize interdisciplinary and multicenter communication and cooperation, so as to break the barrier between basic and clinical research, broaden scientific research thinking, and improve the comprehensive quality of academic postgraduate students in critical care medicine. Key words: Critical care medicine; Academic postgraduate; Clinical research; Postgraduate training
