The number of graduate students is declining, and medical students are rising against the trend, what is the reason behind the graduate school entrance examination?
With the continuous development of China's higher education and the expansion of the vast majority of colleges and universities, the number of college students is increasing, but the quality is uneven. This situation has also indirectly led to the situation that it is difficult for college students to find employment. Many college students have to take exams and take public exams.
According to the statistics of the relevant education department, the number of applicants for the national master's examination in 2024 will be 4.38 million, a decrease of 360,000 compared with the number of applicants in 2023 of 4.74 million. However, while the number of graduates has declined overall, the number of medical students enrolled in degree classes has increased volatilly in recent years. And almost every year, the rate of medical students going to graduate school is constant. So, what exactly is the reason for medical students to apply for graduate school?
In fact, the main reason why medical students are pursuing a degree is that it is difficult to find employment. Compared with the difficulty of employment in other professions, the vast majority of medical students are facing the situation of unemployment. With the increase in the number of medical graduates, the choice of employers has begun to expand, and the starting point for talent selection is naturally higher. At present, almost all tertiary hospitals require a master's degree as a starting point when recruiting, and some hospitals at the county level and below require medical students to have a brand-name degree even if they do not require a master's degree.
With the progress of society and the development of medical science, medical knowledge is also changing with each passing day, and compared with other professional knowledge that has remained unchanged for many years, medical knowledge is in a state of constant updating. Domestic medical education is also gradually developing towards the elite. To become a good clinician, one must take a graduate course Xi.
