Results The total knowledge sharing score of family doctor teams under county medical communities was (27.84±3.84), and the mean item level scores of the two dimensions of explicit and implicit knowledge sharing were (5.51±0.79) and (5.61±0.77), respectively; the results of the multivariate linear stepwise regression analysis showed that the heterogeneity of academic qualifications, intensity of team communication, intensity of team activities, motivation of members to learn, the use of platform carriers, and the team leader's role were the influencing factors of knowledge sharing of family doctor teams under the county medical community (P<0.05) . Conclusion Knowledge sharing within the family doctor team under the county medical community is at a good level, and there is still room for improvement.
