Abstract

After nearly 30 years of exploration and practice, a “5+3” and “3+2” general practitioner (GP) training mode has been preliminarily established in China. However, China still lacks qualified GPs. In this paper, after analyzing the current situation of GP training in China, we found that the post of GP is unattractive in China; the GP training system is incomplete and lacks a process assessment mechanism; the certification and re-certification mechanisms of training bases are incomplete; and the continuous vocational development education needs to be standardized. Then, we summarize the experiences of some major countries in the world, and propose the following policy recommendations: improving the remuneration of GPs, establishing a comprehensive GP training system focusing on post competence, establishing a normalized assessment and certification mechanism for GP training bases, and setting up continuous vocational education bases for GPs.
