Abstract: After training 12 groups of 966 doctors for the purpose of improving the competency of clinical teachers, this article is to explore the new training model for clinical teachers of general practice. It preliminarily constructs the competency model of clinical teachers of general practice, including the teaching ability, the construction of general clinical thinking, the professional knowledge of general practice, and the basic knowledge of medicine. The training process contains two parts. The fi rst is a 56-hour intensive training in a week, including various teaching methods such as lectures, group discussion, PBL, simulated-patient teaching, role-playing, teaching-site observation, bedside teaching, dress-rehearsal of lecture with teaching's feedback, and classroom interaction. The second part is 7-week self-learning according to a guideline and portfolio. After training, a total of 6021 evaluation questionnaires were collected. 76% trainees felt strongly satisfi ed, and 21.9% satisfi ed. This article suggests that the strategy of "competency-oriented and student-centered" with a variety of teaching methods meet the training needs and goals of clinical teachers of general practice, which may have some potential value for others.
