Exploration and Practice of the Mode of Training Top-notch and Innovative Medical Talents in the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University

The emerging challenges of global health constantly puts forward new requirements for cultivating medical talents. From the perspective of great health, the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University aims at cultivating top-notch and innovative medical talents for the future. Since 2018, the hospital has been inheriting and innovating the model of training medical elites and has explored and implemented the clinical postdoctoral program. This program relies on the platform of progressive medical training of the relatively mature "college system" initiated by our hospital. By regrouping the high-quality interdisciplinary faculty team, the platform optimizes the "outcome-based" advanced training system and builds effective evaluation and the assessment system, to comprehensively strengthen clinical postdoctoral trainees' abilities of clinical and scientific research and teaching. The program provides reference for the cultivation of high-level medical elites.
