Retrospectives and prospects of the development of medical schools in China Hou Jianlin, Liao Kaiju, Xie A'na, You You, Wu Ning, Wang Weimin 2021, 41 (12):  1062-1066.  DOI: 10.3760/cma.j.cn115259-20210706-00851 Abstract ( 251 )   PDF (901KB) ( 237 )   Objectives To review and summarize the development of China's medical schools, existing issues and put forward policy suggestions based on the perspective of domestic and international comparison. Methods Descriptive analysis and literature review were implemented. Results After 150 years' development, the number of China's medical schools reached 192 in 2020. However, there is still a serious shortage of medical schools if taking into account of the large population in the country. The number of medical schools per 10 million persons in China was only about one third of the world average level. The teaching quality of some medical colleges is not satisfactory, and the quantity of highly qualified medical colleges is insufficient. Some other weakness also exist, including large scale of enrollment per school, mal-distribution of medical schools in different regions and lack of a professional administration entity at the national level. Conclusions China should improve the top-level design and making a national development plan for construction and development of medical schools. Multiple approaches should be taken to steadily increase the number of medical schools. A national organization for professional administration should be established to improve the macro management of medical schools. Finally, Chinese government should play a crucial role in facilitating the construction of medical schools in developing areas. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Methods In March 2021, an application program of “Wenjuanxing” was used to conduct a satisfaction survey of 193 resident training students on the residential training base institute, online training system, department and trainer faculty in a stomatological hospital affiliated to a university in Zhejiang. The results were analyzed statistically. Results The total satisfaction scores of the trainees on the training base institute and the online training system are (4.02±0.40) and (4.05±0.40). Especially, the score for subsidy payments (3.43±1.40) and stability of online system (3.40±1.30) is the lowest. In terms to identity, the satisfaction score of professional Master Degree candidates for the training base institute and the training system was significantly lower than that of the doctors entrusted by other hospitals or from the affiliated hospital (all P＜0.01). Moreover, the satisfaction score of professional graduates for some indexes of the department and of clinical teachers is also lower.For example, the “management and teaching system” of maxillofacial surgery, the difference is statistically significant [57.14% (44/77), 83.33% (55/66) and 100.0% (20/20), P<0.01]. Conclusions The overall satisfaction of the training students is relatively high. Students with different identity characteristics differ in their satisfaction with the residential training base and the residential training system. The training base institute needs to optimize management details, pay attention to humanistic care and logistics services according to the characteristics of the personnel. The online system is a good tool for training. What's more, we should also pay attention to the needs of professional graduates for Master Degree and carry out stratified teaching according to different trainees' populations to promote the training outcomes.
