Abstract：Medical education is an indispensable part of achieving the beautiful blueprint of Healthy China.It is particularly important to train residents with good therapeutic skills,especially surgical skills.Taking the training of ophthalmology residents as an example,this research investigated ophthalmology residency training systems in China and the United States,comparing the training systems of America College of Graduate Medical Education(ACGME)accredited ophthalmology residencies and the Chinese ophthalmology residencies in general.this research dissected the two systems into four aspects:qualification recognition,training requirements,supervision mechanism and assessment methods.Based on the national conditions of our country and drawing lessons from the experience of the United States,we suggest that each residency training base adopts an online residency training management system instead of paper records.This will potentially improve the supervision of cases in which residents are primary surgeons,strengthen the resident surgical skill assessment mechanism by combining process evaluation and terminal evaluation,and promote the base qualification annual assessment program based on big data.
