Objective To learn about the evaluation of the practical value of resident doctors towards the Global Minimum Essential Requirements in Medical Education (GMER), so as to provide effective information for the usage of GMER in China.
Methods Two hundred and five resident doctors of West China Hospital of Sichuan University were investigated by the use of questionnaires.
Results The evaluation of the practical value towards the 7 domains of GMER was high, but the “population health and health systems” domain gains the lowest scores.
Conclusion The society might ask doctors to use the abilities required by GMER, especially the requirements in the "population health and health systems" domain. It is suggested that the doctors’ performance evaluation system be adjusted by adding the weight to the lower score domains, and the medical students be trained to be equipped with both macro and micro thinking abilities in medical school, so as to cultivate doctors with the "core competence" of GMER.
