Abstract：Objective To understand the effect and value of the full-course tutorial system in the standardized training of neurosurgery residents,and to provide reference for improving the management quality of the residency training process.Methods A total of 18 residents in Nanfang Hospital since 2014,including residents from this hospital and recruited from the society,were selected as the research subjects.The qualifications and selection methods of tutors,responsibilities,working modes,management and evaluation methods,and incentive and punishment measures were introduced detailly.The mean frequency,duration and the main contents of communication between tutors and residents were queried.The training scores of every specialty,the first-time pass rate of the qualification exam,the grade of the annual test,the results of the final exam,and the number of published articles were collected.Results The mean frequency of communication between tutors and residents was 16.6 times/year,and the average duration was 1.0 hours/time.The main guidance content included professional knowledge and skills,scientific research,and career planning.Compared with the residents in the non-full-course tutorial system group,the resident physicians in the full-course tutorial system group had a statistically greater improvement in the training scores of every specialty,the grade of the annual test,the results of the final exam,and the number of published articles(All P<0.05).Conclusion The full-course tutorial system is of great value to the standardized training of neurosurgery residents because it meets the needs of residents and contributes to the improvement of training effect and the enthusiasm of tutors.Therefore,it is worthy of further research,improvement and promotion.
