Abstract

Aim: Global competence has become an important competence for medical graduates in the globalized world. However, research on it is scarce. This study was built upon the scholarship published in the field to measure medical graduates' global competence.

Materials and methods: A questionnaire was administered to China's medical graduates sampled from four institutions of medical education. Descriptive statistics were made to analyze the level of medical graduates GC. Influencing factors were investigated using multiple linear regression. Multiple levels of regression analysis were used to identify the influence of different independent variables on the dependent variable.

Results: The sample had a relatively good level of global competence in general, but lacked skills in cross-cultural communication and international academic communication. "Internationalization Concept and System" and "International Development of Teachers" in the school dimension and "Taking International Courses", "International Publication" and "Participation in International Conference" in the dimension of individual international involvement had a significant positive impact on the cultivation of global competence.

Conclusions: The universities should aim for the construction of an effective institutional mechanism for internationalization to help improve students' global competence.

中国医学教育国际化：医学毕业生全球竞争力及其影响因素调查。

目的：在全球化的世界里，全球能力已成为医学毕业生的一项重要能力。然而，对它的研究却很少。这项研究建立在该领域发表的学术成果的基础上，旨在衡量医学毕业生的全球能力。材料与方法：采用问卷调查的方法，对我国四所医学院校的医学毕业生进行调查。采用描述性统计方法对医学生GC水平进行分析。采用多元线性回归方法研究影响因素。采用多水平回归分析来确定不同自变量对因变量的影响。结果：样本总体上具有较好的全球能力水平，但缺乏跨文化沟通和国际学术交流的技能。学校层面的“国际化理念与体系”和“教师的国际发展”以及个人国际参与层面的“选修国际课程”、“国际出版”和“参加国际会议”对全球能力的培养产生了重大的积极影响。结论：高校应致力于构建有效的国际化制度机制，以提高学生的国际竞争力。

期刊介绍： Medical Teacher provides accounts of new teaching methods, guidance on structuring courses and assessing achievement, and serves as a forum for communication between medical teachers and those involved in general education. In particular, the journal recognizes the problems teachers have in keeping up-to-date with the developments in educational methods that lead to more effective teaching and learning at a time when the content of the curriculum—from medical procedures to policy changes in health care provision—is also changing. The journal features reports of innovation and research in medical education, case studies, survey articles, practical guidelines, reviews of current literature and book reviews. All articles are peer reviewed.
