Academic and scientific research are important indices which refer to the medical post-graduates' training quality. But research methods and statistical knowledge are important influencing factor for them. Understanding the demands of statistical knowledge for medical postgraduates can provide refer-ence for adjusting the setting of teaching contents and satisfy the needs of the students. The results have showed that two kinds of medical postgraduates' knowledge of statistical knowledge is weak， while postgrad-uates with different types have different requirements for statistical knowledge. Therefore more attention should be paid to the needs of the learners of postgraduates with different types to provide more pertinent and effective teaching support service.
