Abstract

Abstract: To advance the Healthy China strategy and the construction of a strong education system, Peking University has explored the construction of the medical leadership training system for professional degree doctoral students in clinical medicine. This initiative addresses the long-term development of MD candidates, the enhancement of medical education systems, and the evolving demands of the healthcare industry. Through theoretical research, current status surveys, and expert consultations, the study systematically develops a competency-based framework. The proposed training system centers on the core dimensions of medical leadership, employs a certification program as a progressive pathway, and innovatively incorporates a dual-degree program to meet the diverse, multi-level, and multi-stage leadership development needs of MD candidates. This paper elaborates on the system's guiding principles, structural framework, and practical approaches, offering innovative insights and practical references for comprehensive reforms in MD education at medical universities and colleges.
