With the development of medical health care, medical services becomes more and more important. However, lack of high-quality personnel greatly restrict community health development. Thus, it is imperative to improve the education and training in general family medicine.

There are some basic qualities for general doctors. First of all, they need a wide range of knowledge so that they can distinguish some mild symptoms of serious diseases in the early stage from others with high incidence rate. Besides, harmonious relationship with patients, coordination capabilities, enthusiasms for work and medical ethics are also significant.

Unfortunately, many problems raise currently. Unsatisfied income, lower social status, hard working conditions, aged medical equipment cut enthusiasms of general practitioners. Also, since many medical schools provide general family medicine training just in recent years, the number of qualified general practitioners is not enough.

It’s time for us to solve these problems. Related policies and incentive mechanism are indispensable for the healthy and sustainable development of general family medicine. What’s more, the training of general practitioners should be brought to a focus. Junior general practitioners are required to take rotations and training for 3 years to improve skills levels and enrich clinical experience, while senior general practitioners can take part in distant training. Singling out potential talents and grooming them are also helpful for training more general practitioners.
