Abstract: Young core faculty members in medical colleges are the main force for medical teaching. Faculty development of these young teachers in medical colleges is an important means to ensure the implementation of the healthy china strategy, the cultivate of talents in health professions, and training of medical students. But there are many challenges, including insufficient number and uneven distribution of teachers, insufficient literacy in educational theories, heavy workload in teaching, inadequate information competency, and lack of institutional support for faculty development. In response to these problems, the Peking University Health Science Center has constructed a training program for domestic visiting scholars with 4-level theoretical teaching and 3-level curriculum content, and evaluated the training effect through questionnaires and interviews. The results show that 98.8% (332/336) of the trainees reported improvement in their medical teaching and scientific research abilities. 90.2% (303/336) of the trainees have completed writing at least one manuscript upon graduation, and 97.9% (329/336) became the backbone of the department after training. It can be seen that the training program for domestic visiting scholars of Peking University Health Science Center, can improve the medical teaching and research ability and enthusiasm of the young faculty members in medical colleges, and increase intervasity cooperation.
