Objective　To investigate the construction status of clinical skills training centers of secondary and above comprehensive western hospitals in Yunnan Province

and to provide a basis for the scientific

specific and standardized construction and development of clinical skills training centers of hospitals at all levels in Yunnan Province. Methods　The evaluation index of the construction of clinical skills training center was established

and questionnaires were developed to investigate the current situation of the construction of clinical skills training center in the secondary and above comprehensive western hospitals in the whole province. SPSS 17.0 software was used for chi-square test. Results　According to the investigation

79.1% (72/91) of secondary and above comprehensive western hospitals in Yunnan Province have established clinical skills centers of different scales

but 84.6% (77/91) of them have fewer than 50 teachers participating in clinical skills teaching each year

with weak faculty and big differences in the faculty of hospitals at all levels (P<0.05). In 64.6% (84/130) of the centers

the simulated teaching courses are only single basic skill courses

and the training content is relatively single

with great differences in the current situation (P<0.05). Only 33.0% (30/91) of the centers have initially established an internal quality control system

and there are statistically significant differences in the way of conducting quality evaluation (P=0.023). Conclusion　The foundation of the connotation construction of the clinical skill center is to establish a complete

professional and gradient teaching team and a stepped clinical skills training curriculum system. The construction of a perfect internal quality control system is the vitality of the development of the clinical skill center

and scientific research is the source of the sustainable development of the center.
