To explore the efficacy of group teaching mode of paper writing for graduate students from interventional radiology under the guidance of tutors.

Eight graduate students from interventional radiology (four master degree and four doctor degree) were trained, and two doctors with rich scientific research experience were included as training teachers. A paper writing group meeting was organized every two weeks to discuss and analyze the papers currently written by graduate students, and graduate students were irregularly organized to study literature search strategy, statistical methods and other necessary theoretical knowledge for writing papers. One year after enrollment, analyze the completion and quality of academic papers at the end of the training.

After the training of paper writing group, all graduate students could skillfully use PubMed and other databases for literature search, and all of them had mastered common statistical methods. In one year, 8 graduate students completed the writing of academic papers, 3 papers were accepted by SCI journals and 5 papers were accepted by core journals.

The teaching mode of interventional radiology graduate students participating in paper writing group is helpful to improve their scientific research abilities such as paper design, literature search and paper writing, and has a good teaching effect.
