To explore the effect of basic teaching skill competition in indirectly affiliated hospital.

From July to November 2019, a questionnaire was administered to 95 young teachers who had participated in the basic teaching skill competition at our hospital and 71 teaching managers. Ideal and realistic teaching time proportion distribution, youth education competition contributes to the overall teaching level of individuals, departments and hospitals, and suggestions to improve the overall teaching level were investigated. STATA software was used for data analysis.

Approximately 90.1% of the teaching managers supported the competition, and most departments gave guidance to the participants before the competition. More than 72% of the participating teachers believed that their teaching awareness, methods, and skills had improved. Before the competition, their usual teaching methods focused on teaching theoretical knowledge. After the competition, teaching activities became diverse, for example, more students participated in case discussions, and problem-based learning and case-based learning were increasingly used. Teaching management respondents all believed that teaching time should account for no less than 10% of all time, and the ideal teaching time should account for 11%-20%, followed by 21%-30% and more than 30%. However, 12.7% of respondents believed that teachers spent less than 10% of time in teaching activities. The ideal teaching time suggested by the participating teachers was 11%-20% (49.5% of respondents), followed by 21%-30% (29.5%), ≤10% (13.7%), and more than 30% (7.3%). However, in reality, 44.2% of respondents spent less than 10% of time in teaching, which was far higher than the ideal percentage. Only 1.1% of the respondents actually spent more than 30% of the time in teaching activities.

Clinicians and young teachers at all levels are squeezed and limited in teaching time due to the reality of medical treatment and scientific research. As a platform for teachers' development, competition can improve teachers' teaching ability and hospital teaching level.
