There are many differences in the examination contents, methods and objectives of health law education and national judicial examination, but there are also consistency in the attribute and training goal of the two aspects. In the context of the judicial examination, the teaching of health law should adhere to respecting the autonomy of graduates to enter the national judicial examination, and requiring students to use their spare time instead of class time to prepare the national judicial examination. The pass rate of the national judicial examination should not be taken as a standard to evaluate the teaching effect of health law. Instead, the traditional law teaching of health law should be improved and developed in the respect of teaching methods and evaluation.

Neurobiology is an interdisciplinary. In recent years, more and more students with clinical medicine background were enrolled for postgraduate studies. To facilitate a rapid transformation from clinical medicine to basic medicine, and from a clinician to a skilled researcher, it was taken an initiative to encourage the students to pick the PhD projects on their own, with the supervision and direction of advisors, and assistance of technicians for conduction of the research projects. This initiative has been effective in that the PhD students with clinical background have secured research grants independently after graduation. Meantime, their clinical skills have also been further improved, benefi ting from the rigorous training of PhD studies.

Neuro-ophthalmoligy is an academically-oriented subspecialty that merges the fields of neurology, ophthalmology, neurosurgery and otolaryngology, head and neck surgery, medicine and surgery. Neuro-ophthalmoligy deals with complex systemic diseases that have manifestations in the visual system. Qualifi ed neuro-ophthalmologist should not only have the basic knowledge and clinical skills, especially those of the neurology and ophthalmology, but also should have strong capacity of logical thinking and analyzing. Therefore, the training model for the graduates of neuro-ophthalmologist should be different from that for the traditional ophthalmology and neurology. In the process of cultivation, special attention should be paid for the basic knowledge and skills of the interdisciplinary, especially enhancing the capacity of clinical diagnosis and treatment as well as scientifi c research analysis, in order to improve the overall capacity of graduate students in neuro-ophthalmoligy.

Objective To investigate the effect of laparoscopic simulators in surgical residency training. Methods 10 residents who have 3 years clinical working experiences without Laparoscopic experience were selected and trained for 4 weeks in laparoscopic simulator, practicing clipping beans, cutting paper, suturing and knotting, respectively examined at the time of pre-training, training after 2 weeks and after 4 weeks. The exam results were statistically analyzed. Results The scores in clipping bean, cutting paper, suturing and knotting both 2 weeks of training and 4 weeks of training were signifi cantly higher than that of pre-training (P < 0. 05). The score of cutting paper after 4 weeks of training was signifi cantly increased more than that of 2 weeks of training (P < 0. 05), but there were no statistical differences of clipping bean and suturing and knotting between 2 weeks of training and 4 weeks of training (P > 0. 05). Conclusion The laparoscopic training simulator for beginners is feasible and effective which can rapidly improve their laparoscopic operation skills and also lay a foundation for laparoscopic surgery.
