1, different educational background

The five-year program lasts for five years (the longest can be extended to eight years), and those who meet the requirements of the school will be awarded a bachelor's degree in medicine;

The eight-year program lasts for eight years (the longest can be extended to ten years), and the graduates are graduate students, mostly medical doctors.

2, the curriculum is different

In the first three years of the five-year program, he studied basic knowledge of humanities, nature and medicine in school, and in the second two years, he studied clinical theory and skills in affiliated hospitals or teaching hospitals;

The eight-year course is divided into four stages: pre-medical stage, five semesters, conducted in the Biology Department of Tsinghua University; The basic medical stage, three semesters, is carried out in the basic college of the school headquarters; The clinical medicine stage (including probation) lasts for four semesters and is conducted in the clinical college of the school headquarters. Clinical practice and scientific research training stage, four semesters, under the guidance of doctoral supervisors, independently completed a scientific research topic and passed the defense.

3. Different study plans

Learn basic knowledge in the first two years, clinical knowledge in the second two years, and clinical practice in 1 year;

Eight years of basic knowledge study takes longer, and you may have to contact pure science courses such as mathematics and physics. The clinical period is a little longer. However, the learning content of clinical medicine is basically the same as that of the five-year program.

4. Different employment directions

Five-year undergraduate graduates can take the doctor qualification examination and obtain the qualification certificate of practicing doctor, so they are qualified to practice medicine. At present, the competitiveness of clinical medical graduates is low, and most of them can only choose primary clinics, community hospitals or some private hospitals;

Eight-year graduates can apply for top three hospitals, medical colleges and higher medical research institutions; Postdoctoral students can apply for postdoctoral positions in foreign universities.

Extended data:

Relevant systems of clinical medicine (eight-year program) in medical colleges;

1, tutorial system.

According to different learning stages, teachers of basic courses, basic medical courses and clinical courses are arranged in stages to serve as tutors for eight-year students, providing guidance and help for students in life and learning methods.

2, the implementation of diversion and elimination system.

For those who cannot adapt to learners for various reasons, the triage elimination system will be implemented, but there is no specific elimination rate. In the stage of public basic courses, basic medicine and postgraduate training, outlets are set up respectively to divert or eliminate students who can't meet the corresponding requirements stipulated by the school or don't want to enter the next stage of study.

Relevant requirements of clinical medicine (five-year system) stipulate that:

1, master the basic theories and methods of natural science related to medicine.

2. Master the basic theories and methods of basic medical disciplines.

3, master the basic theory and clinical skills of clinical medicine.
