Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: Journal clubs hold significant importance in medical education, with numerous studies highlighting their contributions worldwide. However, studies specifically examining their role in China, particularly among Chinese medical postgraduates categorized into academic and clinical types, remain scarce. This research aims to investigate the participation, performance, and benefits of journal clubs, and explore the influence of student type and study phase on these aspects.
METHODS: A survey encompassing demographic information, participation rates, performance evaluations, and perceived improvements was distributed to postgraduates at Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology. A total of 232 completed questionnaires were included for further analysis. Statistical analysis employed the Mann-Whitney U test and Gamma tests, with statistical significance set at p-value < 0.05.
RESULTS: Overall participation and performance in journal clubs among Chinese medical postgraduates were comparable to global findings. Notably, academic postgraduates exhibited higher levels of attendance rate and gained more research assistance than clinical postgraduates, while their performance levels were similar. When considering the study phase, a downward trend in academic postgraduates\' attendance rate and listening attitude and an upward trend in clinical postgraduates\' participation were observed with the seniority phase. Additionally, presentation comments, post-presentation progress, and research assistance showed improvements over time for both student types.
CONCLUSIONS: This study reveals academic postgraduates\' fatigue, contrasting with clinical postgraduates\' enthusiasm, and underscores academic postgraduates\' superior research assistance. To address these findings, we recommend supporting and encouraging scientific research training for clinical postgraduates, aiding academic postgraduates in better time management and reducing non-essential responsibilities, and implementing critical appraisal skill education.

摘要：
目的：期刊俱乐部在医学教育中具有重要意义，大量研究强调了他们在全球范围内的贡献。然而,专门研究他们在中国的角色的研究，特别是在分为学术和临床类型的中国医学研究生中，保持稀缺。这项研究旨在调查参与情况，性能，以及期刊俱乐部的好处，并探讨学生类型和学习阶段对这些方面的影响。
方法：一项包含人口统计信息的调查，参与率,绩效评估，并将感知到的改善分发给华中科技大学同济医学院的研究生。共纳入了232份完整的问卷进行进一步分析。统计分析采用Mann-WhitneyU检验和Gamma检验，具有统计学意义的p值<0.05。
结果：中国医学研究生在期刊俱乐部的总体参与和表现与全球研究结果相当。值得注意的是,与临床研究生相比，学术研究生的出勤率更高，获得的研究援助更多，而他们的表现水平相似。在考虑研究阶段时，学术型研究生的出勤率和倾听态度呈下降趋势,临床型研究生的参与率呈上升趋势。此外,演示文稿注释,演示后进度，研究援助显示，随着时间的推移，这两种学生类型都有所改善。
结论：这项研究揭示了学术研究生的疲劳，与临床研究生的热情相比，并强调学术研究生的卓越研究援助。为了解决这些发现，我们建议支持和鼓励临床研究生的科研培训，帮助学术研究生更好地管理时间，减少不必要的责任，实施批判性评价技能教育。
