  •   Objective  To investigate the needs of eight-year program clinical medical students for the organization and contents of clinical oncology courses.
      Methods  From September to November 2020, a questionnaire survey was conducted among eight-year program clinical medicine students in Peking Union Medical College to find out their knowledge base in oncology, teaching mode preference and course contents of interest.
      Results  A total of 122 students participated in the survey, in which 89.3%(109/122) of the students showed interest in basic and clinical research projects related to oncology, 84.4%(103/122) thought it was better to use Simulation-based medical education (SBME), and 91.0%(111/122) hoped to learn throughoff-line discussion. In terms of course contents, eight-year program medical students were more interested in knowledge directly related to clinical context, such as diagnosis, treatment, multidisciplinary comprehensive treatment and evidence-based medicine. In terms of sub-analysis, traditional eight-year students (86%, 92/107) showed a higher acceptance of palliative care than students in the 4+4 reform program(60%, 9/15) and were more willing to act as scriptwriters in SBME(26% vs. 7%, P=0.013). The students in clinical phase gained a better understanding of oncology knowledge through research training and were more inclined to take on the role of scriptwriters in SBME than those in basic phase (27% vs. 11%, P=0.048).
      Conclusions  The eight-year program clinical medical students are interested in the clinical oncology course and prefer study in the form of Simulation-based medical education (SBME).
