The participants were divided into training unit group ( n=42), employer group ( n=42) and doctor and student group ( n=46). Results:Among all training objectives, the training "general medicine scientific research ability" ranked the first (121, 93.1%); while 114 (87.7%) respondents believed that the training target should be the leading talents in general medicine. Regarding the content of clinical competence training, 86 (66.1%) respondents believed that there was a lack of medical care training for whole life-cycle and whole population currently. The training requirement for acute disease management and referral competence in employer group was significantly higher than the training unit group (χ2=25.73, P<0.01) and the doctor and student group (χ2=24.37, P<0.01). Most survey respondents believed that the doctorate candidates in general medicine should focus on scientific research training in community clinical medicine ( n=110, 84.6%), community preventive medicine and epidemiology ( n=114, 87.7%); 117 (90.0%) respondents believed that clinical research design and methodology training should be strengthened, and 125 (96.2%) respondents believed that clinical teaching thinking training should be strengthened; 108 (83.1%) survey respondents believed that it is necessary for their units to recruit personnel with doctoral degree in general medicine.
