Abstract:
Objective:To explore the interest of medical students in innovation and entrepreneurship education,providing a reference for optimizing the innovation and entrepreneurship education system.Methods:A total of 510 students from the first to fifth academic years at a medical school were selected as the study subjects.An anonymous online survey was conducted via Questionnaire Star to assess students'understanding of innovation and entrepreneurship cognition,willingness,and the current status of education,and interest scores across different majors were compared.Results:The survey revealed that 92.35%of medical students expressed interest in innovation and entrepreneurship and 96.08%of medical students recognized its importance for personal career development.About 83.53%of medical students believed it was essential for medical schools to cultivate innovation and entrepreneurship awareness,yet only 50.98%viewed it as a means to develop innovative projects.Regarding the current educational environment,over 95%of students affirmed the school's initiatives,supportive atmosphere,and resource provision.However,only 32.35%had participated in extracurricular innovation and entrepreneurship activities.During the process of innovation and entrepreneurship,87.65%of the students believed that lack of experience was the main obstacle.And 80.59%of the students hope that the school could provide venues and financial support.And 90.19%of the students expected that school-enterprise cooperation could increase practical opportunities.Additionally,professional background significantly influenced students'interest,with dental medicine students scoring markedly higher than those in clinical medicine,medical laboratory technology,and other disciplines(P＜0.05).Conclusions:The surveyed medical students demonstrated a positive attitude toward innovation and entrepreneurship,yet gaps remained in practical application and resource accessibility.The institution should refine curricula,strengthen industry-academia collaboration,and develop tailored programs based on disciplinary characteristics to enhance students'innovation and entrepreneurship capabilities.
