Abstract: Objective To know the evaluation of teaching behavior, capacity and self-development from standardized training of residents and specialists.Methods Based on prepared questionnaire, 122 residents and specialists trained in Shanghai Sixth People’s Hospital and Shanghai First People’s Hospital were investigated.Results In teaching behavior assessment, 63.9%(78/122) of training doctors considered that they got little teaching time, and 84.4%(103/122) of them considered the heavy clinical work as the most reason. They thought that residents provided few and low-quality clinical knowledge. In capacity assessment, although evaluation results of residents were not consistent with that of specialists, they all agreed with the attitude, ability, technique and self-promotion embodied in teachers’ and learners’ capacity. As the results of their average score were over 3.74. In self-development assessment, 8.0%(7/87) of residents and 37.1%(13/35) of specialists had the strong desire to become clinical teachers. Although only 3.4%(3/87) of training doctors wanted residents to become the main clinical teachers, and 91.8%(112/122) of them considered the heavy clinical work as the biggest obstacle, they still optimistically believed that senior residents and junior attending could be good clinical teachers.Conclusions Clinical teaching is not sufficient. Few residents participate in clinical teaching, but senior residents and junior attending have the capacity to become good clinical teachers. However, more steps are needed to encourage them.
