ABSTRACT

The knowledge and clinical skill competition scores of 331 general practitioners (GPs),who attended the grassroots health posts training in Sichuan Province and Chengdu Municipality in 2016 and 2017,were documented.The factors influencing the competition results were analyzed.The mean knowledge test score of 331 participants were higher than the clinical skill score [(76.89±6.56) vs.(54.13±10.91),P＜0.01].The mean operational score in the clinical skill competition was higher than that of medical history collection,physical examination and clinical interview abilities [(32.31 ±3.28) vs.(21.82±5.09),P＜0.01].There were significant differences in knowledge and clinical skill scores among doctors from different regions or with different professional ranks (P＞0.05).The levels of clinical skills of general practitioners at the grass-roots level need to be further improved,according to relevant influencing factors.
