Chest compressions, a sanitizing cloth, pushing the air out of a needle and then the injection were seen by a reporter during the student clinic skills competition held by Shanghai Oriental Hospital. “The skills competition is held every year and it is only a detailed embodiment of our clinical teaching reform,” said LIU Zhongmin, director of Shanghai Oriental Hospital which is affiliated with Tongji University.

In recent years, an “Excellent Physicians Training Program” has been added to the medical teaching reform framework. The Medical School of Tongji University has diligently pursued an appropriate way to train personnel in proper medical procedures. LI Ying, a teacher in the clinical department, said, “The key of cultivating excellent physicians is to strictly control the quality of the teaching process.” After two years of exploration, a quality control system of full coverage has been established, including the teaching of administrative personnel, the teaching secretary, and every teacher and student. In addition, this process also includes: students’ entrance education, theoretical teaching, probation teaching, field based education, practical curriculum (internship lectures, teaching rounds, case discussions, etc.), skills training, examinations and performance management. This quality control system has provided an effective evaluation system within the medical school, hospitals, administration offices, teaching and research sections, teaching supervision, teachers and students with an emphasis on recertification and improvement.
