The goal of this two-year proposal from PUHSC is to introduce the Global Commission education concepts into China and to investigate the local situations so as to adapt transformative learning in the Chinese situation. To achieve this goal, PUHSC will translate, produce, and distribute 3,000 copies of the Chinese version of the Global Commission Lancet report to researchers and students, conduct a launch ceremony of the Lancet report in China followed by an implementation workshop, develop a conceptual paper addressing the local strategies for health professional education, perform related investigations for developing commissioned papers and promote institutional actions and government policy support. Four dimensions of health professionals education will be examined – the changing need of health professionals, changes in health systems reform, the mismatch of medical school graduates and the health system workforce in both number and competency, and future financing of health professional education. A China commission report to lay the conceptual framework for health professionals education reform in China will be published within two years and the conclusions and suggestions resulted from this study will be submitted for policy references.
