The training of academic postgraduate students in critical care medicine emphasizes basic knowledge and underestimates the importance of clinical practice. Research objectives are innovative

but with a lack of practicability

and thus cannot meet the huge needs for clinical research in this major. Under the guidance of the concept of translational medicine

the training of academic postgraduate students should strengthen clinical observation and systematic learning of clinical knowledge

enhance the accumulation of clinical data

improve the quality of data statistics

reinforce the training on clinical research processes

standards

and methods

and emphasize interdisciplinary and multicenter communication and cooperation

so as to break the barrier between basic and clinical research

broaden scientific research thinking

and improve the comprehensive quality of academic postgraduate students in critical care medicine.
