Abstract: The current status and training requirements for general practitioner (GP) were surveyed with questionnaires in 84 trainees from the first Beijing GP retraining program.Results showed that three most demanded skills of health service in community were electrocardiogram (98.8％),clinical lab results reading (96.4％),dressing change (90.5％).The services not provided but should be provided in community were aerosol rebreathing method (23.8％),resection of small superficial lumps (22.6％) and reading X-ray films (20.2％).The reasons for services not provided were insufficient resources (41.7％),lack of skilled personnel (35.7％) and staffing shortage (20.2％).The most required training skills were reading X-ray films (64.3％),electrocardiogram (54.8％) and laboratory results reading (51.2％).There were some skills inadequately trained including cricothyroid membrane puncture,suprapubic bladder puncture and resection of superficial small lumps.The results indicate that the required skills in community health service and individual demands of general practitioners should be the priority of the future training programs.
