“…As early as 2007, domestic scholars have made clear comparison and analysis of employability of full-time and in-service doctoral students, suggested that general colleges have certain limitations in cultivation of medical college students' employability, which is also the case for innovation and entrepreneurship education as their employability does not directly correspond to employers' need (Ramia et al, 2016). Innovation and entrepreneurship education and training model should be closely linked with the industry, employment relationship should be clarified by real interest relationship, which is an acting point for innovation and entrepreneurship education to improve medical college students' employability (Singh et al, 2015;Flaherty et al, 2017).…”
