Abstract

Background: Extreme competition for grant funding or publications to gain career promotion in an affiliated hospital has outsized negative effects on doctor to gain career promotion in China these years. This research seeks to explore the relationships between evaluation of a teaching physician and their actual aptitude towards career promotion. Methods: This study was offered to all teachers and standardized residency training students at Shanghai General Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University. A web-based survey was conducted to identify individuals’ aptitude to teaching physician. A total of 240 participants entered and finished the study, including 140 teachers and 100 standardized residency training students. The questions consisted of how teaching physician is assessed, the percentage of clinical, scientific work and teaching grant funding/awards/publications of teaching physician, as well as attitude towards training in teaching. Results: Teaching physicians tried to satisfy scientific research or grant funding/awards/publications requirements and failed to apply time on teaching, thus affect the teaching quality. Teaching training can serve as an approach to ensure career growth and advancement in medical education. Teaching physicians should be equipped with teaching skills and educational administration in teaching curriculum development. Conclusions: We recommend the outstanding teaching physician should not only be equipped with clinical skills, but also be full of teaching enthusiasm and methods as well as improved quality of teaching through training.
