Weight establishment of the community teaching base evaluation system for general practitioner in Shanghai

Objective To establish the weight of the evaluation index system for community teaching base of general practitioner (GP) standardized training. Methods The weight assignment of the evaluation index system for community teaching base of GP training was established by using analytic hierarchy process, based on the literature review and two rounds of Delphi consultation. Results The evaluation index system for community teaching base was composed of four first-class indexes, eight second-class indexes and 27 third-class indexes. Four first-class indexes were basic conditions (weight 0.195 3), teaching conditions (weight 0.138 1), teaching staff (weight 0.276 1) and teaching practice (weight 0.390 5). The top three second-class indexes were: teaching management (weight 0.195 3), teaching assessment and evaluation (weight 0.195 3), and teaching ability (weight 0.184 1). All levels of index weights were satisfied with the consistency test, and the weights were acceptable. Conclusion Weight establishment improves the index selection system of community training base for GPs, having better rationality and operability, which may provide a rational assessment tool for community base of GP training in future.
