The community rotation is an important stage of standardized residency training for general practitioners (GPs).However, the community rotation is also considered as a most difficult part of the GP residency training because of the problems in training management and evaluation .Based on our experiences of 7-months community training , we expanded the duration of community training to 1 year, and implemented a new segmentation and multipoint practice plan in Zhongshan hospital .This is a new attempt for GP residency training , which would hopefully meet the international standards of GP residency training .

Objective To compare the awareness, training and assessment of teaching competence between hospital and community general practice (GP) trainers. Methods A questionnaire survey on teaching competence was conducted among 161 hospital GP trainers and 110 community GP trainers in 2016 April. Results There were 96 male and 175 female participants with an average age of (30.4 ± 8.0) years. On the the awareness of teaching competence,the propotion of"very important"of"creating a quality teaching environment for students","knowing how to teach students","ability to teach students medical knowledge and skills", " feedback ability ", "showing the virtue of being a teacher" in hospital and community trainers were 47.8%(77/161) and 40.0%(44/110), 66.5%(107/161) and 59.1%(65/110), 71.5%(115/161) and 62.8%(69/110), 54.7%(88/161) and 52.7%(58/110), 65.2%(105/161) and 60.9 (67/110), respectively;there were no significant differences of all importance ratings between the two groups (all P>0.05). Hospital trainers had higher proportions of "having received teaching method training" [70.2%(113/161)vs. 50.0%(55/110),χ2=11.302,P=0.001] and"having received teaching training before practice teaching for the first time" [(45.3%(73/161)vs. 21.8%(24/110),χ2=15.735,P<0.001] than those of community trainers. The proportion of "having received teaching comptence evaluation" was higher in hospital trainers than that in community trainers [(60.9%(98/161)vs. 43.6%(48/110),χ2=7.810,P=0.004], but there were no significant difference in teaching comptence evaluation methods between two types of trainers (P>0.01). Conclusion The awareness of teaching competence is similar between hospital and community GP trainers, but the community trainers are lack of teaching competence training, and their teaching competence evaluation methods need to be improved.
