Abstract: A continuing professional development program was implemented in Shanghai Weifang Community Health Center for general practitioners (GPs) who completed residency training.The program consisted of four aspects: clinical ability, scientific research ability, teaching ability, and management ability.Clinical ability-building included the re-practice of specialty skills, expert mentoring in clinics, continuing education courses and clinic skills competitions.The scientific research ability was built from participating in research projects and talent cultivation programs.GPs were encouraged to be clinical mentors, and teaching ability was developed through attending teacher-training class and teaching practice.For those who were interested in management, the administrative positions related to medical, teaching and research would be provided.The implementation of the program received strong policy support from the health administrations at various levels.
