| Physician-scientists constitute a critical driving force for innovation and progress in medicine. Since 2019, Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center (SYSUCC) has implemented a clinical postdoctoral training program to cultivate future physician-scientists in the field of oncology who possess both high-level clinical competence and outstanding innovative research capacity. This paper systematically summarizes the innovative measures and practical experience of SYSUCC in clinical postdoctoral training. By?formulating differentiated training programs, implementing a dual-mentor system integrating clinical practice and scientific research, adopting a two-tier evaluation mechanism of "departmental preliminary assessment+ center-level final assessment," and establishing the “Chih Kuang” Scholarship for Outstanding Young Physician-Scientists of?Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center, a structured and systematic training framework for clinical postdoctoral fellows has been developed. As a result, improvements have been achieved in individual clinical competence, research innovation, and professional integration and development among clinical postdoctoral fellows. This study provides a practical model for reference in the cultivation of clinical physician-scientists in the field of oncology and offers important implications for the training of high-level medical talent. In the future, further optimization of talent selection, departmental coordination, and training mechanisms is required, and the precise implementation of training policies should be ensured to continuously enhance the quality of early-career medical talent development. |
