Cultivation of laboratory physicians in accordance with the needs of discipline should be a priority of education on laboratory medicine in China. Unfortunately

the professional career of Chinese laboratory physicians is presently entrapped in a dilemma owing to unfavorable settings

in-cluding the late start of laboratory physician training in this country

unmatched installation between higher school faculty and curriculum

faulty programs of in-hospital training

disparity in management policies

low social esteem

uncertainty in personal intention of employment

and poor knowledge of position awareness. This paper puts forward a lot of measures such as the development trend of the university curriculum

which is in compliance with the subdivision and refinement of clinical medicine

the establishment of a medical degree for a professional laboratory physician

constantly improving the standardization of laboratory physician residency training and continuing education system for the in-spection of doctors

setting up physicians inspection posts and giving a clear mandate to examine physicians inside the hospital

while outside of the hospital continually improving awareness and accep-tance of the laboratory physicians

giving more educational resources to laboratory physicians

so as to improve the overall level of the laboratory medicine.
