        The ministry of education and ministry of health has combined the launch of the "outstanding doctor education training plan". The ministry of education in higher JiaoYuSi said, will face rural grassroots training a large number of practical general practitioners, "let the Midwest for each township health center, can ZengPei a medical undergraduates". It is reported, this project will selection from rural grassroots students, to medical colleges and universities accept free general medical direction of undergraduate education, the students after graduation back to hometown, into the township health center service.

        Promote the highly educated talents into villages and towns medical institutions, is fully staffed. On the one hand, the villages and towns medical institutions facing long-term shortage of talents, medical staff shortage, more a need to further improve the quality; On the other hand, the medical college students employment in the city for the "surplus", in order to stay in the city, some medical birth was forced to change its business. Purposefully guide basic-level medical undergraduates employment, especially to the villages and towns medical post, very timely and necessary.

        Cultivate a large number of villages and towns to grass-roots practical general practitioners, but also deepen the medical reform in the topic of of righteousness. In recent years, new agriculture together as the pillar of the rural medical security rapid popularization, 2011 rural residents ginseng adds up to rate has reached 97%, "dare not see a doctor" "look down on disease" phenomenon gradually reduce. But in at the moment, the basic-level township health center a lack of professional talents, medical level is limited, can't meet the need of the township residents go to a doctor. In this way, a lot of people had to toss to county, provincial capital a doctor, increased traffic and accommodation cost not to say, to be able to enjoy the proportion of reimbursement have also been affected.

        "1025" reform, planning, points out that a new round of reform, is the focus of the basic-level hospitals at the county level, strive to 2015 years let common people "serious illness a county". To achieve this goal, to strengthen the construction of township health center is the foundation place. There is no denying the fact that for major diseases and complicated illnesses, township medical institutions do condition is limited, but if can in township health center equipped with professional general practitioners, can very good for patients disease screening, through the first diagnosis "control" in order to better guide patients go to a doctor.

        Promote the medical resources "center of gravity down", "see a doctor difficult" is to alleviate the inevitable trend. But the key to the implemenation of the policy, still is to ensure that the medical students have to go to, retain. Beijing a university survey showed that eighty percent of medical undergraduates are more willing to stay in the city, it shows that, let go to the countryside medical undergraduates "at ease base" is not easy. Take orientation training way, to cultivate qualified and talent selection in source control, no doubt is effective, but with a plan colour, can say is the last ditch.

        The author thinks that, to really for township health center retain valuable talents, in addition to further improve the medical worker welfare, and give them more policies to take care of, more need to be in the medical resources in allocation of villages and towns to basic medical institutions tilt, avoid too much focus on large and medium-sized cities. Of course, want to let medical talent truly ready to take root to the basic unit, the fundamental way out lies in accelerating urbanization construction, the shrinking all aspects of the gap between urban and rural areas, only by constantly level of urban and rural difference idea, realize the integration of urban and rural medical resources, can we fundamentally incentive professional services to the basic unit, to benefit the masses.
