Abstract: Cultivating doctors with innovative ability is the new goal of current medical undergraduate education. The article analyzes the current situation of undergraduates' scientific research and innovation ability training. The author participated in the implementation of innovative scientific research projects for medical undergraduates for two consecutive years, carried out the “five-step” scientific research training for students, including research topic selection, literature search, study design, project implementation, and paper writing, etc. Through scientific research training, medical undergraduates have improved their independent thinking ability, active learning ability and comprehensive ability, while teachers have further improved their scientific research ability and achieved the effect of mutual promotion of teaching and learning. Based on the practice and experience in guiding medical undergraduates who participated in our innovative scientific research projects, we analyze their achievements and shortcomings of the innovative scientific research ability training. This may provide some reference for cultivating the scientific research innovation ability of medical undergraduates.

Key words: undergraduate majoring in clinical medicine, innovation ability, research, talent cultivation
