“…The main part of the questionnaire is a Chinese version of the WFME global standards of the PGME [11], including 38 items in nine fields (see Results below for details). Each item in the questionnaire was further divided into two levels, one level for trainers who met the basic requirements (basic standard) and another level for those who met the requirements for outstanding qualifications (target standard).…”

BackgroundSince the global standards for postgraduate medical education (PGME) were published in January 2003, they have gained worldwide attention. The current state of residency training programs in medical-school-affiliated hospitals throughout China was assessed in this study.MethodsBased on the internationally recognized global standards for PGME, residents undergoing residency training at that time and the relevant residency training instructors and management personnel from 15 medical-school-affiliated hospitals throughout China were recruited and surveyed regarding the current state of residency training programs. A total of 938 questionnaire surveys were distributed between June 30, 2006 and July 30, 2006; of 892 surveys collected, 841 were valid.ResultsFor six items, the total proportions of “basically meets standards” and “completely meets standards” were <70% for the basic standards. These items were identified in the fields of “training settings and educational resources”, “evaluation of training process”, and “trainees”. In all fields other than “continuous updates”, the average scores of the western regions were significantly lower than those of the eastern regions for both the basic and target standards. Specifically, the average scores for the basic standards on as many as 25 of the 38 items in the nine fields were significantly lower in the western regions. There were significant differences in the basic standards scores on 13 of the 38 items among trainees, instructors, and managers.ConclusionsThe residency training programs have achieved satisfactory outcomes in the hospitals affiliated with various medical schools in China. However, overall, the programs remain inadequate in certain areas. For the governments, organizations, and institutions responsible for PGME, such global standards for PGME are a very useful self-assessment tool and can help identify problems, promote reform, and ultimately standardize PGME.

“…These motivators for change have emphasised a new reality for healthcare systems bounded by a skilled healthcare workforce [14]. In a conference report published by the World Federation of Medical Education (WFME) in 2003 it was stated that ''linking education to standards […] is an important factor in the drive to endure that medical education meets the demand of high quality care'' [15]. Today, medical education is operating within a competency-based framework with a focus on outcomes.…”

“…With regards to international standards for training in physiotherapy some efforts have been made within this domain by the World Confederation of Physical Therapy with the publication of the European Core Standards of Physiotherapy Practice [17] fig. 1) as defined by WFME within the framework of medical education (table 1) [15]. During the ERS medical education seminar on 9-10 May 2014, ERS educational leaders came together with key figures in medical education from Canada, the UK and the Netherlands to discuss best practices in medical education and how to challenge HERMES to improve processes and methodology [18].…”
