Teaching objectives
Our department had school curriculums below:

- advanced seniors research.
Moreover, the resident training section thoroughly implements the six core competencies of the resident ACGME (Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education): patient care, medical knowledge, practice-based learning and improvement, interpersonal and communication skills, professionalism and system-based practice. We also establish a medical environment that is accessiblility, accoutability, comprehensiveness, continuation, coordination, providing holistic care training at the biological, psychological, and social levels. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the assessment of health needs for the public, and to arrange appropriate medical care, specialist transfer and hospital care. Combined with the system of primary medical units and communities, we will identify and solve community health problems and achieve the spirit of community-oriented primary care.
