The cultivation of medical students'research ability promotes in them high-quality career development. In addition to classroom instruction of the theoretical knowledge concerning research, the systematic training and practice of scientific research skills outside the classroom is also vitally important. We established the Volunteer Team of Gastric Cancer Surgery with the features of standardization, progressiveness, and practicality in order to cultivate the thinking skills concerning research and the research ability of medical students. Our team is supported by the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, West China Hospital, Sichuan University. Taking clinical and basic research skills training as the focus of our work, we have organized systematic workshops focused on theoretical knowledge and research skills practice programs of divers forms. Our work helps improve the research ability of medical students, suggesting that research-oriented clubs play an active role in the cultivation of practical research ability of medical students and should be widely promoted.
医学生科研能力培养对其职业生涯的高质量发展具有重要推动作用。除课堂内科研理论知识的讲授外，在课外开展系统性科研能力培训与实践也十分重要。依托四川大学华西医院胃肠外科搭建的科研社团“华西胃癌外科志愿者团队”以“规范、递进、实用”为特色，重点培养医学生科研思维与科研实践能力，以临床科研能力和基础科研能力培训为主要内容，为医学生开展了较为系统化的科研理论知识培训和形式丰富的科研项目实践，对提高医学生的科研实践能力具有较大帮助，表明科研社团在医学生科研实践能力的培养中发挥了积极作用，值得推广。
