Abstract: Objective To investigate the existing problems in new faculty training in Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and to provide suggestions for new faculty training from an international perspective. Methods 25 new teachers of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine were investigated through field questionnaires. Results 25 questionnaires were sent out, collected, with effective recovery of 100%. Conclusion The questionnaire survey shows that new teachers generally lack teaching experience and teaching ability, so the present training form cannot meet the needs of new teachers. This paper suggests that the training mode and system should be reformed through conducting international exchanges, bettering the tutor system, observing top teachers’ teaching, arranging training time reasonably, strengthening practical teaching, and improving the assessment system, so as to enhance the scientific research and teaching ability of new teachers.
