Research mentorship models included one-on-one mentorship,college-clinical dual mentorship,and research team mentorship. Differences also existed in the timing,scenarios,content,frequency,evaluation indicators,and evaluation methods of research mentorship programs. Conclusion Future research mentor selection should be rationally standardize mentor selection and choose appropriate models based on existing educational resources.
