Methods According to the implementation of CME program of Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention during 2013-2020 reported in the national CME system, the project hosting days, places, trainers, trainees, project directors and training effect were counted and analyzed. The Chi-square test was used to analyze the data. Results A total of 448 projects were approved, among which 381 were conducted during 2013-2020 (execution rate 85.0％). Most hosting days were 1-3 d [64.0％(244/381)]. The majority [67.1％(33 505/49 951)] of trainees have junior and intermediate technical titles. As for trainers, the proportion of trainers coming from our institute was 68.8％(1 997/2 901). Trainers with senior technical titles account for 64.8％(1 881/2 901), and those with vice-senior titles 23.9% (693/2 901). Program directors all have senior technical titles, of which 76.7% (289/377) are senior titles, 44.7% (168/376) of them had doctoral degree and 38.0% (143/376) of them had master's degree. The top three training modules were laboratory technology, environmental health and radiation hygiene. Trainees were satisfied with the training content.
