Medical student research engagement has been considered as a critical component of undergraduate medical education. However, evidence on the association between medical student research engagement with learning outcomes is lacking. The objectives of our study are: (1) to outline the landscape of medical student research engagement in China; (2) to explore the association between medical student research engagement and learning outcomes, and whether this association is different among students with different characteristics.

Still want to be a doctor? Medical student dropout in the era of COVID-19.

This research examines the intention of undergraduate medical students to withdraw from the medical profession and pursue a career in a different field upon graduation during COVID-19. We leverage the first and most comprehensive nationwide survey for medical education in China, which covered 98,668 enrolled undergraduate students from 90 out of 181 Chinese medical schools in 2020. We focus on these students' self-reported intention to leave the healthcare industry (the "dropout intention") before and after the outbreak of the epidemic.

Students' initial perspectives on online learning experience in China during the COVID-19 outbreak: expanding online education for future doctors on a national scale.

Background: During the early stage of COVID-19 outbreak in China, most medical undergraduate programs have to eventually embrace the maneuver of transferring to nearly 100% online-learning as a new routine for different curricula. And there is a lack of empirical evidence of effective medical education curriculum that has been completely implemented in an online format. This study summarizes medical students' perspectives regarding online-learning experience during the COVID-19 outbreak and presents reflection on medical education.

An update on current EPAs in graduate medical education: A scoping review.

The purpose of this scoping review is to update the recent progress of EPAs research in GME, focusing on the topical concern of EPAs effectiveness, and to provide a reference for medical researchers in countries/regions interested in introducing EPAs. Guided by Arksey and O'Malley's framework regarding scoping reviews, the researchers, in January 2021, conducted a search in five databases to ensure the comprehensiveness of the literature. After the predetermined process, 29 articles in total were included in this study.

Funding of health professional education: China's 20-year process and a global comparison.
