Methods The CNKI, VIP, WanFang Data, PubMed, Embase and Web of Science databases were electronically searched to collect relevant literature on competency evaluation systems for residents in China from inception to December 2023. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. The descriptive analysis was then performed. Results A total of 15 literature were included. There were 9 index construction methods involved in the included studies, the Delphi method was the most widely used (7 papers, 46.7%), followed by the questionnaire method (3 papers, 20%) and the expert consultation method (2 papers, 13.3%). The most common reference model was the ACGME Milestones (10 articles, 66.7%). According to the construction of index systems, the number of first-level indicators was at least 4 and at most 8. The minimum number of entries (number of final grading indicators) was 15 and the maximum number was 116. The index systems included in the research had a wide range of contents, covering all aspects of resident competencies. The expert teams consisted of clinical experts, nurses, administrators, college teachers, patients, residents, etc. Conclusion There are various research methods for the competency evaluation systems of residents in China, and the research content is in line with international standards.
