Clinical medicine in Gannan Medical College needs three years of standardized training. Standardized training of residents is an important part of medical students' post-graduation education, which is extremely important for cultivating high-level clinicians and improving medical quality. As a link between lifelong medical education (basic education in medical colleges) and continuing medical education (continuing medical education), it occupies an important position and is the key to the formation of medical clinical experts.

The standardized training time is generally 3 years, and the basic methods are as follows:

Taking clinical practice, professional compulsory courses and public compulsory courses as the main training contents, residents are required to obtain corresponding course credits through examinations in two stages.

The training mode is that clinical practice is mainly based on on-the-job training, and the departments give collective guidance. Foreign language and professional compulsory courses are mainly completed by self-study, while some public compulsory courses and elective courses are completed by part-time face-to-face teaching, and credits can also be obtained by self-study and taking the level test of this course.

For those who have worked for 5 years and achieved the required credits, after passing the examination of clinical ability, they will be issued with a certificate of residency training as a necessary condition for applying for the qualification of intermediate professional and technical positions. For some on-the-job clinicians who have applied for a professional degree in clinical medicine, engaged in clinical work for more than 3 years, completed the first stage of standardized training for residents and passed the examination, a certificate of standardized training for residents can be issued.
