Abstract: The purpose of Standardized Residency Training (SRT) is to cultivate competent, fit-for-practice physicians. However, the quality of training varies across regions, particularly between the east and the west. Relying on the ″team-based″ medical aid program in Xinjiang, the affiliated hospitals of Sun Yat-sen University explored ways to ensure quality consistency across regional SRT. Previous research employed a combination of retrospective analysis and interviews. Data on the SRT at the Kashi Prefecture First People′s Hospital (Kashi First Hospital) from 2017 to 2024 were collected, and interviews were conducted with 20 individuals, including training administrators, faculty members at Kashi First Hospital, and experts from Sun Yat-sen University. The study focused on the issues in cross-regional collaboration for SRT, such as institutional alignment and implementation challenges. Based on the above data, this paper examines the reform measures implemented by experts to address the main problems in the SRT at Kashi First Hospital and the outcomes achieved. By August 2024, Sun Yat-sen University had dispatched 138 medical experts to support Kashi First Hospital. Through measures such as transferring SRT management frameworks and systems, enhancing faculty development and incentives, optimizing training content, and implementing information management, the hospital was approved as the National Medical Licensing Examination Practical Skill Test center. The number of specialized training bases increased to twenty, and the number of faculty with provincial-level or higher qualifications grew to 401. The pass rates for the National Medical Licensing Examination Practical Skill Test and the SRT final examination rose from 69.0% and 69.8% in 2019 to 85.0% and 84.5% in 2024, respectively. By leveraging the ″team-based″ medical aid program in Xinjiang, the affiliated hospitals of Sun Yat-sen University have improved the consistency of SRT quality across regions, providing valuable experience for training medical talent in western China.
