As the intensity of clinical and research work is high, teaching is gradually paid less attention to and the quality of education cannot be ensured. In this context, a full-time teaching position is set up in West China Hospital which is taken responsibility by qualified clinicians, to improve the teaching quality by strict management and omni-directional teaching. We introduce the setting and running of the full-time teaching position in West China Hospital in this paper.
