Abstract:
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a preventable and treatable common chronic airway disease. As the gatekeeper of health care, general practitioners should play a key roles in prevention and management of COPD; however, the ability of COPD prevention and management is generally limited among general practitioners, so that the training for them is essential. At present there is no unified training program and standard for COPD prevention and management in China, the training contents and methods are various, and the training facilities and capacity are inadequate, particularly in grass-roots institutions, all these restrain the development of effective training. This articles reviews the status quo of COPD prevention and management training for general practitioners at home and abroad, and suggests to construct a network for chronic respiratory diseases management and a training system for primary care health workers to improve the prevention and management of COPD in China.
