Abstract: Objective To understand the current expectation of general medical graduate training demand on community healthcare center (CHC), and to explore strategies for general medical graduate training improvement.Methods 51 general administrators were surveyed with a questionnaire collecting data on areas such as general medical graduate training satisfaction, competence expectation. The competence expectation includes 4 core dimensions: clinical diagnosis, scientific research, teaching and training, international communication.Results 51 valid questionnaires were received, with an 100.0% response rate. As a result, 37 respondents are administrative leaders, and others are general managers. It also shows that 98.0% (50/51) respondents have a bachelor degree or above; while 21.6% (11/51) are in high level. The quality of general medical graduate training is well considered by the majority of respondents. The clinical and scientific ability of general medical graduate are satisfied, while the teaching and international communicating ability are failing to live up to expectations.Conclusions Although most respondents are positive about the current quality of general medical graduate training, actions need to be made to improve general medical graduate competences. It is essential to pay attention to CHC's demand and give play to the advantages of universities. International education and optimization of courses will be the new approaches to the cultivation of general medical talents.
