Abstract: Objective To conduct a comparative analysis of the research hotspots in the field of standardized residency training of general practitioners in Chinese and English literature, aiming to inform relevant research in China. Methods Searches were conducted for literature related to general practice residency training from January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2023, in CNKI, Chinese Medical Journals, and the Web of Science database. The analysis of keyword co-occurrence and clustering was performed using CiteSpace.6.2.R4 package. Results A total of 749 Chinese and 482 English literature was included in this study. From 2004 to 2015, English publications amounted to 222, nearly three times the volume of Chinese publications in the same period. Since 2016, the average annual number of Chinese publications has increased to 71.5, while English publications have remained at only 33 per year. Chinese publications accounted for only 1.9% (9/482) of the English publications, with a centrality of 0. Cluster analysis of high-frequency keywords revealed that English literature focused on the development of residents′ comprehensive abilities, identification and management of mental health, educational practice and effectiveness evaluation, and demand-oriented curriculum design. In contrast, Chinese literature centered on cultivating residents′ post-competency, optimizing training models, strengthening base construction, and evaluating teaching outcomes. Both Chinese and English literature highlighted the importance of improving training quality and residents′ comprehensive abilities. Chinese literature placed greater emphasis on meeting the training needs of residents from diverse backgrounds, whereas English literature prioritize improvement of residency training courses guided by the needs of special populations and current trends in disease prevalence. Conclusions Since 2016, research on standardized residency training of general practitioners in China has gained significant interest, yet its international influence remains to be enhanced. In the future, it is essential to adopt international best practices, foster global exchanges and collaborations, and improve the quality and impact of China′s research in this field.
