Abstract

1) I participated in the postgraduate clinical research training program at the University of California, San Francisco.
2) The program included course work for acquiring knowledge about conducting clinical research and an individual mentoring system that provided effective support for researchers to conduct their own research.
3) To improve mentoring skills, trial programs were implemented, including specific education programs for faculty and performance evaluations.
