Improving the scientific research ability is an essential aspect of enhancing the general practitioner competences and promoting the medical care in community health center. Based on the current situation of community clinical and scientific research, Tongji University School of Medicine (TUSM) take the improvement of clinical diagnosis and treatment ability and the training of community general medical talents as the core guidance. TUSM built scientific research cultivation pathway for general practitioners by strengthening the scientific research training, improving the academic level of general practitioner, and carrying out scientific research cooperation both domestic and abroad. TUSM established innovative models of community scientific research and training, replacing indoctrination theory teaching by clinical or community-based learning. TUSM had set up a master degree of general medicine to make up for the short board of scientific research of general practitioners and improve the educational level of general practitioners. With the help of the university's international exchange platform, TUSM conducted international scientific research exchanges among community physicians, triggering the sensitivity of clinical research, gradually enhancing the self-confidence and opening new directions for community research. In order to ensure the overall healthy development of community scientific research, it should pay attention to the humanistic ethics in the process of scientific research, cultivate the ethical cognition of community general practitioners, and ensure the objective and true results of scientific research. In addition, the incentive mechanism in scientific research progress should be applied, set up start scientific research cultivation plan and special fund for general medical research, establish a benign environment of scientific research back feeding clinical, and fully enhance the level of community clinical and scientific research.
