Abstract
Background As an important part of the general practice team, assistant general practitioners undertake a lot of grassroots general practice work, but at present, there is no recognized national level assistant general practitioners post competency model to provide scientific basis for training qualified assistant general practitioners. Objective The competency of assistant general practitioners for China was constructed to provide support for the design of national assistant physician qualification examination, and provide theoretical basis for the training and evaluation of assistant general practitioners. Methods Based on the research group's previous literature research and behavioral event interviews, from September 2019 to January 2020, the entry pool was established, and 30 experts engaged in general practice were consulted by Delphi method for 2 rounds. The index and weight coefficient of the Chinese assistant general practitioner post competency model were determined by AHP. Results Six first-level indicators [the basic medical and health services (0.244 8), medical knowledge and life-long learning (0.244 8), and professional quality (0.244 8), interpersonal communication and team work (0.138 9), the basic public health services (0.085 8), the information utilization ability and management capacity (0.041 0) ] and 63 second-level indicators were finalized, and the weight coefficients of each indicator were defined. Conclusion This study constructs the post competency of assistant general practitioners for China for the first time, which has a high degree of expert representativeness and authority, and a more comprehensive and reasonable index selection, laying a foundation for the empirical study of the index system.
