To evaluate the process and achievements in clinical medicine of eight -year program and five-year program in Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology

as well as to explore the new personnel training models. We collected the graduation stage appraisal results of 96 students in 8-year program of 2008 year class and 200 students in 5-year program of 2011 year class

including results of theory examination and the results of Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE). We also conducted a satisfaction questionnaire about educational effects among them. Each evaluation result was statistically analyzed by SPSS17.0 software with independent sample chi-square test. The average score of theory examination had no statistical significance (63.80±1.36 vs 61.37±6.95

P=0.175)

but the eight-year program students had higher pass rate than five-year program students (63.5% vs 54.0%

P=0.039); From the three aspects of time distribution

teaching methods and teachers’ attitudes

it is analyzed that over half of the eight-year program students are satisfied with the teaching of the basic theory and self-learning ability

while more than 50% students of the five-year program satisfied with the teaching of basic theory. The models of medical education in eight-year program and five-year program in Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology achieved remarkable success. There still need further reformation and perfection in the models to cultivate more qualified medical students.
