Abstract
Objective To learn from various view points the team building of rural doctors in Beijing. Methods 84 village officials, rural doctors and villagers were enrolled from three townships in district H of Beijing, for an interview to learn the makeup and selection approach of rural doctors, and their recommendations on team building of these doctors. Results 76.19% of the interviewees prefer their own villagers as candidates for their rural doctor.Top three factors for their retention were their medical competence, geo-relations, and service attitude; 60.71% of the interviewees held that the village committee should be the decision maker for appointment of rural doctors; in terms of team building, senior doctors emphasize retirement conditions, while new ones prefer training opportunities. Conclusions The topmost criterion for rural doctor candidates should be their medical competence, instead of sacrificing this criterion for geo-relations.The village committee and the villagers′ congress should play a greater role of supervision and management of the rural doctors.Targeted incentives are recommended for the rural doctors in view of their retention.
