Abstract: The professional competency of general practitioners (GP) is the prerequisite of ensuring high-quality primary medical services. The training of clinical thinking is an important means to realize the professional competence of GP. This course design includes 3 modules and 10 contents, covering 6 core elements and 12 basic characteristics of WONCA GP professional competency. After the 4-month training, the scores of 52 postgraduate students of GP in Objective structured clinical examination were significantly improved [(68.41 ± 14.69) vs. (62.77 ± 14.50), P<0.05]. The clinical thinking in general practice course based on professional competency has a favorable educational effect, which can be further promoted and implemented.
