Abstract: Objective To establish a post competency model for education administrators in medical universities. Methods In October, 2021, a questionnaire for post competency was developed through literature research, behavior event interview and the Delphi method. The questionnaire was distributed to 464 education administrators from 7 medical universities in Liaoning Province, and the results were analyzed by factor analysis. Results The overall reliability of the questionnaire was 0.969. According to the exploratory factor analysis, a post competency model of education administrators in medical universities has been built, which consists of four dimensions as comprehensive professional literacy, management collaboration ability, professional skill requirements and personal characteristics with 32 competency factors. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the AVE was greater than 0.5 and the CR was greater than 0.7, which demonstrated a good convergence validity of the model. Structural equation fitting index was used to evaluate the fitting degree of the model in which, χ²/df was 2.996<3 and RMSEA<0.08. Conclusions The post competency model is well fit and may support recruitment, training and assessment of education administrators in medical universities.
