Objective: To analyze the present situation of the management of large-scale instruments in a medical school and give some reasonable suggestions. Methods: Through the research on the use of 85 large-scale instruments in our university, we tried to find out the methods of improving the utilization ratio of large-scale instruments. Results:There are many reasons of the poor management and low utilization rate of large-scale instruments in medical schools. Conclusion: Taking some measures could effectively improve the utilization rate of large-scale instruments in medical schools, such as simplifying the working procedure, solving the operating and repair expenses, strictly controlling argumentation, drawing up scientific evaluation and incentive measures and so on.
