Objectives:To assess graduating Chinese medical studentssatisfaction with their training and clinical performance in fundamental areas of womens health,including patient communication,cancer screening,human papillomavirus(HPV)vaccine use,and intimate partner violence(IPV)screening.Methods:Fifth year medical students were surveyed(N=242)following their graduation exam at a medical school in Wuhan,China.Responses were quantified on a binary or Likert scale.Students t-test was used to compare responses by gender.Results:Only a small percentage of students were satisfied with their training in talking with patients about sexual health/reproductive goals(19.0%),contraception(14.4%),preconception counseling(12.8%),and how to screen for cervical(26.0%)or breast(45.0%)cancer.The percentage of graduating students who claim competence in these areas ranges from 20.2%to 43.5%across topics.Female students are more confident in performing breast and cervical screenings than their male counterparts.Most students have never been trained in HPV vaccine use(91.6%)or IPV screening(95.5%)and most students do not recognize signs of IPV.Conclusions:Quality standardization and accreditation in medical education in China is needed to develop physicians with effective clinical competencies.There is not enough teaching in current medical school curricula in areas of womens health.As a result,students graduate from medical school without having mastered these competencies.Medical school curricula in China need to address these gaps in clinical competencies of womens health as it undergoes reform,in order to train physicians who will provide quality care to the millions of women who reside in China.
