Abstract: From January 2019 to January 2020,fifty-two critical care specialist physicians engaged in Department of Critical Care Medicine of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital,the Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School, were selected as the subjects for the evaluation of the core competence and to establish diverse simulation teaching for the competence oriented training. Diverse forms of simulation teaching were used. The theoretical test results showed that the score after training(92.27±4.42) was improved (P<0.05)as compared with that before the training(82.90±13.51); The results showed that the scores of clinical skill and doctor-patient communication[(91.25±3.79)and (91.47±1.67)]were also higher than that before training[(79.33±6.32)and (88.08±1.66)](P<0.05). According to the results of questionnaire survey, 82.6% (43/52) of the physicians were very satisfied from the diverse simulation teaching and 84.6%(44/52) believed that the teaching stimulated their learning interesting. The score given by trainees for teaching methods was (4.83±0.38) and that for teaching effectiveness was (4.81±0.44). Diverse simulation teaching is recognized by trainees as an effective method to improve the core competence of critical care physicians.
