Abstract

Research Background: General medicine integrates content from clinical medicine, rehabilitation medicine, and social humanities. In the field of clinical medicine, its horizontal scope encompasses internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, emergency medicine, and other related disciplines. Research Objectives: The subspecialty development of general medicine aims to establish a specialized field with distinctive features based on the foundation of general medicine. It provides an explanation for the in-depth development and research in general medicine. This approach makes it easier to retain and attract outstanding talents, fully unleashing the interests of general practitioners. The development of subspecialties in general medicine aligns with the practical needs of China's primary healthcare institutions. It seeks to break the deadlock of general medicine being broad but not precise, addressing issues such as reducing patient medical expenses, improving patient satisfaction, and truly solving difficulties in seeking medical care. This allows large specialized hospitals to focus on researching tumor diseases and various specialized surgical procedures, thereby enhancing the diagnosis and treatment rates of tumors and rare diseases. Research Results: With the progress and practical experiences in society, the development of subspecialties in general medicine is set to become a goal, a new direction, a new perspective, and a new pathway for the global development of primary healthcare institutions. Research Conclusions: Cultivating doctors with expertise in subspecialties of general medicine for grassroots healthcare is essential to address the spectrum of specialized diseases, truly embodying a patient-centric approach and ensuring tangible benefits for patients. Currently, the development of subspecialties in general medicine is still in the exploration stage.
