Abstract：
Objective To investigate the current status of teaching capacity among community preceptors in
standardized training bases for assistant general practitioners in Chongqing, analyze core competency issues, and
provide references for faculty selection, training, and base construction. Method Based on the 360-degree
evaluation method, we designed assessment questionnaires across three dimensions: personal comprehensive
quality, general medical practice competency, and teaching capacity. Self-evaluations by general practitioner
preceptors and other-evaluations from administrators, nursing staff, other physicians/technicians, and trainees
were collected to comprehensively assess teaching competencies and needs. Result 59 self-evaluation forms
(98.3% response rate) and 222 other-evaluation forms (92.5% response rate) were collected. The other-evaluation
total score (4.72±0.46) was significantly higher than self-evaluation scores (4.20±0.52) (P<0.01), with nursing staff
giving the highest ratings (4.77±0.34). No significant correlation existed between self- and other-evaluation
scores (P>0.05). All internal consistency coefficients exceeded 0.9 across evaluators. Key issues identified
included: short teaching experience (49.15% ≤5 years), weak research capabilities (only 18.64% involved in
research projects), inadequate management of surgical/specialized diseases (e.g., dermatology: 3.61±0.91), and
monotonous teaching methods (e.g., "flexible application of diverse teaching methods" scored 3.96±0.85). Conclusion Chongqing community-based general practitioner preceptors demonstrate good professional ethics
and communication skills, but face challenges including insufficient teaching experience, limited research
capacity, and deficiencies in core general practice competencies. It is recommended to enhance teaching quality
through improved training systems, strengthened incentive mechanisms, and scientific faculty selection criteria.
