Objective:To construct the post competency index system of the standardized training of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)residents, and to provide reference for the curriculum design of TCM residents′ standardized training.Methods:Based on the analysis of relevant literature, 22 experts engaged in clinical, teaching or administrative management of TCM residential training were consulted by Delphi method from August to December 2019, and the evaluation indexes were screened and the importance was assigned. Then, analytic hierarchy process was used to determine the weight of each index. In January 2020, the index system was tested by questionnaire survey.Results:The competency evaluation index system of TCM residents was composed of 7 first-level indexes and 61 second-level indexes. The first-level indexes included occupational values and professionalism(weight: 0.208 2), clinical skills(weight: 0.208 2), mastery and application of medical knowledge and related knowledge(weight: 0.208 2), communication skills(weight: 0.198 4), management and teamwork ability(weight: 0.114 1), critical thinking and learning research ability(weight: 0.033 4), group health and health systems(weight: 0.029 5). The total Cronbach α coefficient of the self-evaluation questionnaire designed according to the evaluation index system was 0.976. The results of KMO test and Bartlett spherical test respectively were 0.954 and 0.000, indicating that the questionnaire had high reliability and validity, and the evaluation index system could reflect the post competency level of TCM residents. Conclusions:The index system of TCM resident competency is highly reliable. TCM resident training should strengthen the cultivation of TCM clinical thinking, and urgently need to supplement the content of medical humanities education.
