The Building Of Medical Graduates' Competency Model

In the present society, medical education is faced with great reformation; its training model will gradually change from paying attention to the educational process to valuing the result of education, the capacities that the medical students gain when they graduate from medical school. At present, the Global Minimum Essential Requirements in Medical Education, GMER had been introduced into China and the standard of Chinese medical education is framing. In such a case, how to train medical students and evaluate their capacities has become a hot issue.In 1973, the conception of Competency was brought forward formally by McClelland. It has always been the focus of human resources management. Through the deeply research about 30 years, Competency Model has become an effective tool for the evaluation, choose and training of persons with ability.Based on GMER, this study tried to use the theories and methods about competency for reference to introduce the conception of competency into China's medical education. According to literature search and expert interview, the glossary of medical graduates' competencies was built to define the competencies which medical graduates should have. Then their attitudes toward those competencies were surveyed by questionnaires. The results of statistical analysis showed that different sample's diversity of the attitude and the competencies of medical graduates can be divided into six groups. Analytic Hierarchy Process, AHP was used to calculate the weighing of each competency groups and the idiographic competence, and the Medical Graduate Competency Model was build based on the results of AHP. In the end, the application of the model was discussed from two aspects: the evaluation of medical graduates and the reformation of medical education. The conclusion of this research was made and the perspective of the further research also was brought.
