ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the clinical competency test results of general practitioners (GPs) in Shanghai Pudong New Area.Methods Total 1 160 GPs from Pudong New Area attended the clinical ability tests,all participated in theory test and 327 GPs attended practice skill tests.The results were reviewed by computer and the scores were automatically generated.Results The average score and pass rate of theory test were (64.24 ± 12.23) points and 64.2％ (745/1 155),respectively.The average scores of GPs with master or above degree were the highest (67.09 ± 13.38 points),however,the pass rate of GPs with undergradnate degree was the highest (69.7％,349/501).GPs with senior professional title got the highest average score and pass rate [68.26 ± 9.92 points and 82.7％ (43/52),respectively].Introduction to General Practice (69.7％),Internal Medicine (68.6％) and Cancer (66.9％) were the top 3 subjects with the highest correct rate.The pass rate of clinical skills was 39.1％ (128/327),GPs with master degree or above (192.87) and those with junior professional titles (171.08) had the highest scores.GPs with master degree or above (50.0％,8/16) and those with intermediate professional title (40.1％,97/242)had the highest pass rate.Conclusions The analysis shows that the average score and pass rate of both theory test and clinic practice skills test are not satisfactory among GPs in Shanghai Pudong New Area.The clinical ability of GPs need to be further improved,and the study of some specific disciplines need to be further strengthened.
