Abstract: It is the first duty for a postgraduate tutor to enhance morality and foster talents.  However, medical colleges and universities are faced with the contradiction between the goal of enhancing morality and fostering talents and the role positioning of the tutor, the contradiction between the classification training requirements and the traditional education concept, the contradiction between the sublimation of the tutoring relationship and the insufficient interaction between teachers and students, and the contradiction between strengthening supervision of management and difficult assessment. Based on the analysis of the above structural contradictions, this article proposes an effective path to improve the tutor selection mechanism, training mechanism, education mechanism and evaluation mechanism. Medical colleges and universities need to combine the specific reality and basic laws of medical postgraduate education, and constantly explore practical and effective methods to improve the effectiveness of tutors. 

Key words: medical universities, postgraduate tutor, enhancing morality and fostering talents
