The report of the 20th CPC National Congress pointed out that it is necessary to "develop and strengthen the medical and health care workforce, focusing efforts on rural areas and communities". General practitioners (GPs) are the "gatekeepers" of residents' health and medical expenses, and play an important role in basic medical and health services. Training applied and complex new-age GPs who can be deployed, retained and utilized is an important step in promoting the construction of a healthy China. On the basis of Training Development Report of GPs (2018), this report systematically reviews the team construction, training and education, reform of utilization and incentive mechanism of GPs in China from 2018 to the present, and puts forward the future outlook of GPs in China in the hope that it can provide information for further research on general practice in China.
