Abstract:

Objective　To investigate the willingness and current situation of medical students' participation in international exchanges, analyze influencing factors, and provide evidence for the internationalization of medical universities.Methods　A questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate the current situation, willingness, and influencing factors of international exchanges at a local medical university in Beijing.Results　Currently for medical students, the number of international participations is small and the duration is short. Only a minority have concrete plans for studying abroad, either during or after their studies, yet 71.9% expressed willingness to participate if financial support were available. Short-term specialized medical courses and research training programs were preferred.Conclusion　Medical students have limited opportunities to participate in international exchanges and their willingness needs to be further improved. In this case, the universities need to settle institutional policies to incentivize student engagement in international exchanges.
