Objective　To investigate the interest

cognition degree

participation degree and current situation of the advanced undergraduate clinical students in our college

to discuss the reason for low level of students' scientific research quality

in order to provide the reference to making research training programs for them. Methods　The advanced undergraduates of seven-year and five-year clin-ical program interned in orthopedics department from January to June in 2014 were selected with cluster sampling method

and investigated anonymously by questionnaires and interview. 120 students were investigated by questionnaire

and 120 effective questionnaires were taken back. 30 students were interviewed. Results　The results showed that 90.0 percent (n=108) of students were interested in sci-entific activity

and 47.5 percent (n=57) of students had participated in scientific lectures. In inter-views

students think factors hindering the research on the participation in scientific research are: 1) too many courses and heavy school tasks; 2) absence of relative knowledge; 3) lack of support from college; 4) tough condition for scientific training; 5) immature management system. Conclusion　The advanced undergraduate clinical students had great interest in scientific activity

but had few opportu-nities to take part in

leading to their low level of scientific research quality. A variety of measures should be taken to bolster their scientific training.
