Abstract

Since the clinical skill test（CS）of national medical licensing examination （NMLE） is the first step of acquiring licensed physician qualification, the establishment of qualified standard for CS is of vital importance. Meanwhile, the reasonable standard is also a guarantee for the objectivity, justice and seriousness of NMLE. With the purpose of investigating the recognition, understanding and attitude towards the standard for CS of NMLE among examinees, examiners and relevant personnel, the research team in National Medical Examination Center （ NMEC） conducted the survey among examinees, examiners, specialists and relevant personnel who attended the CS in the provinces of Liaoning, Shanxi and Hebei. The survey reveals that most of the respondents approve of the current form and content of NMLE, including CS. They are also in favor of the score of 60 as the qualified standard and in support of the research on ex-ploration and improvement in the qualified standard for NMLE.
