Abstract: Objective The study aimed to determine the index weight of medical undergraduates' general ability evaluation indicator system, provided a reference to evaluate the general status of medical undergraduates.Methods The study adopted Delphi method and precedence chart method, experts in the closely related areas were invited to complete one self-designed questionnaire and software SPSS 20. 0 was used for statistical analysis finally.Results The indicator system included six first-level indicators: humanistic care ability, interpersonal skills, independent learning ability, team cooperation ability, critical thinking skills and obtaining and applying information ability. There are 25 secondary indicators. The average scores of all indicators were greater than 4, the standard deviation less than 1, the variation coefficients less than 0.25,and the full mark rate greater than 20%. When using precedence chart method to calculate the weight of the indicators, the largest of first-level indicators was the humanistic care ability, and obtaining and applying information ability was the least. The largest weight indicators of secondary indicators were caring responsibility consciousness, understanding ability, self-motivational, cooperation consciousness, the ability to find problems, and access to information.Conclusions Using precedence chart method to calculate index weight was scientific. The system might be useful in evaluating the general ability of medical undergraduates.
