The training of clinical teachers of general medicine is a key part of the construction of general medicine in our country. However, there is no existing mode for reference. West China Hospital of Sichuan University has completed one of the "Key National Public Health Projects-Training of Clinical Teachers of General Medicine in Sichuan Province". The project has searched for proper way in designing the teaching mode, organizing teaching resources, teaching evaluation and feedback, and training monitoring and management. Problems encountered during the process were analyzed and discussed for corresponding countermeasures. We believe this could be an experience for the future training to improve the quality in training clinical teachers of general medicine.
Optometry has become the second class course under the allied health professions since 2012, and has been the National undergraduate enrollment directory. According to the definition of optometry provided by the World Council of Optometry, the jobs of optometrist in China include the basic eye care, basic optometry, contact lens fitting, binocular vision anomaly treatment, strabismus and amblyopia treatment, low vision treatment, special ocular examination, maintenance of equipment related to optometry, operation and sales management. At present, the demand of professional optometrist is great. However, the development of optometrical education is limited by the lack of professional ranks. The professional ranks and titles for optometrist, corresponding registration and examination system should be established by the Ministry of Health as soon as possible, in order for the development of optometrical education and human resource management.
