Methods 16 universities in which pilot reform of connection between postgraduate education and standardized training for residents were established were selected. A survey was conducted in terms of education funds investment

cost and living treatment during the period of clinical training It also included the situation of standardized medical residency training. Descriptive analysis and t-test were performed to investigation results

using SPSS20.0 statistical software. Results The average education funds were (17100±11100) yuan/person and (20700±11800) yuan/person

tuition fees paid by students were (3600±3900) yuan/person/year and (7700±3400) yuan/person/year respectively before and after reform. Differences of average education funds

living treatments and tuition fees were not significant

while the difference between tuition fees paid by students were significant. After the reform

students pay more tuition fees than before. Funds investment and living treatment of residents were significantly higher than that of graduate students. Conclusion Differences of education funds investment for professional master’s degree of clinical medicine are great. And the training funds is difficult to fully meet the requirements of the culture. The life treatment is difficult to achieve equal pay to residents.
