Background: China’s standardized training for residents of general practitioners (GPs) is aimed at providing the postgraduate training to family physicians who will serve the primary medicine units. The aim of this paper is to investigate the standardized training situation, satisfaction of standardized training, work situation and intention, satisfaction of work and attitude for GPs who have finished standardized training. Methods: This study was undertaken among 6 training hospitals of Gansu province. The survey included a questionnaire with 73 queries. Results: Approximately 275 residents of GPs were approached. In total, 263 residents participated (95.64% response rate). The average age of the participants was 28 years (standard deviation, 1.93 years; range, 25-36 years). The gender distribution was 50.57% women and 49.43% men. Marital status was 56.65% single and 43.35% married. In the results, 92.40% residents had obtained certification of the standardized training for residents of GPs. Only 39.54% residents were satisfied for monthly income during the training. And among 171 rural medical oriented graduates, only 42.69% residents wanted to continue to work at the grass-roots level when the serve time 6 years was finished. 86.31% residents of GPs who had finished the standardized training had jobs. More than half of medical institutions were belong to the primary medical and health institutions. Only 29.96% residents were registered as GPs. And the main reason for not been registered as GPs was that the medical institutions and sanitary bureau did not know the general medicine policy and did not agree. Among the residents who were assigned in general practice department, 68.42% of the work was diagnosis and treatment of common disease and frequently-occurring diseases and the referral of patients. The percentage of residents who were satisfied for the job and income were 30.40% and 14.98% respectively. Conclusion: China’s standardized training for residents of GPs is under gradual improvement and development. In order to cultivate more GPs and let more GPs be willing to serve the grass-roots level, formulating and executing more good policy for GPs and increasing the publicity of general medicine and GPs are necessary.
