Abstract:

Objective·To analyze the association between talent cultivation and clinical discipline development level for affiliated hospitals of a medical school in Shanghai, determine key indexes, and propose suggestions for talent cultivation. Methods·Questionnaire survey and data search were used to collect the information on talent cultivation, medical care, teaching, and research. Based on the performance evaluation index system, the discipline development level was calculated. According to quantitative results, disciplines were classified into two categories, i.e. superior disciplines (n=33) and ordinary disciplines (n=129). The rank sum test method was used to analyze the differences in talent cultivation indexes between two types of discipline. Indexes with statistical significance were key indexes associated with the discipline development level. Results·Indexes with statistical difference (P<0.05) between two types of disciplines were the number of faculty in one discipline, the proportion of faculty with a senior professional title, the proportion of faculty with a doctoral degree, the proportion of faculty aged between 41 and 50 years, academic status of discipline leaders, talent aggregation level, the number of researchers, the number of talent projects, and the number of faculty who were trained abroad. Conclusion·We should enhance talent cultivation, pay attention to key indexes, increase the number of faculty, improve talent structure, focus on training talents aged less than 50 years, introduce and cultivate discipline leaders with high influence, elevate talent aggregation, increase the number of researchers, and obtain more talent projects and abroad training opportunities, so as to improve the discipline development level.
