Medical Licensing Examination is the well-accepted form to authenticate medical licensure in most countries. The assessment of medical humanities is of great importance in medical licensing examination. The medical humanities examination in the U.S. and China is compared and analyzed through literature analysis and comparative research

including the contents

formats

scores and proportion of the examination. The contents and proportion of the medical humanities examination in the U.S. and China are basically the same

however

China’s current medical licensing examination has fewer stations for medical humanities than the U.S.

and its formats should be improved. The feasibility of standard patients in China’s medical licensing examination should be further explored

and the guiding role of medical licensing examination for medical education should also be strengthened.
