Abstract: Most medical postgraduates desire to develop their research mentality and experiment skills and become capable medical students with potentialities and innovation consciousness.Medical postgraduates can be classified into academic, general, and clinical types based on their needs, education background, experiences and personal abilities, while their supervisors fall into high-, medium-, and low-expectation types according to their research abilities and demands.Cross-pairing analysis shows that a high-level cooperation can be achieved when the type of a postgraduate matches that of his supervisor, otherwise a low-level cooperation may result.Therefore, it is essential to optimize the two-way choice system between postgraduates and supervisors, establish a moral code for supervisors and academic standards for postgraduates, and further enhance their interaction.A new relationship should be formed between medical postgraduates and supervisors, which is postgraduate-centered, emphatic on conversation, discussion, equality, and mutual trust and respect, and capable of promoting the harmonious development of academic activities.
