Medical education is undergoing the transition from traditional classroom teaching to more diversified " inside-and-outside-class collaborative teaching”, that is, extracurricular teaching has become an important supplement to medical education. The academic societies of medical students are important platforms in medical education. With the increasing of academic societies in medical colleges, the coordination and balance between community construction and student development requires deep thinking and investigation. The society should develop under the ideas of " following the initial intention - realizing transformation - promoting innovation”. The society-based extracurricular teaching should be performed in the manner of capacity-directing " translational teaching”. The society needs to carry out the " personalized and advanced” training to improve the scientific research or innovation capacity of individual medical student. This paper aims to discuss key points on the construction and management of academic society of medical students at the micro-level, to provide references for single society’s development.
