Construction of Professional, Vocational and Employment System for Training Compound Talents in Sports and Medicine in China——Extraterritorial Experience in Clinical Exercise Physiology

It is of great significance to adjust and optimize the professional structure of medical education to adapt to the development of the health service industry and build a clinically-oriented talent training system for the integration of sports and medicine to promote the disease management and health service model of the integration of sports and medicine and to implement the strategy of healthy China. With the support of the global chronic disease management and the national sports referral program,the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia have established an integrated sports and medical talent training system with clinical exercise physiology as the core, and accumulated rich experience in professional, occupational and employment aspects. The specific manifestations are the professional curriculum system that focuses on the cross-attribute and comprehensive attribute, the professional qualification certification system that focuses on the evaluation of the practical ability of sports referral, and the “five full and one more” employment prospects that take into account both inside and outside of the medical and health institutions. Based on the symptom of the problem of training physical-medical integration talents in China, and drawing on the experience of the development of clinical exercise physiology, this study prospectively proposes that: 1) The construction of a clinically-oriented physical-medical integration talent training system in China requires the opening of a sports clinician profession to train physicalmedical integration health professionals and technicians for the healthcare system; 2) the setting up the profession of exercise prescription technicians to build a co-construction, co-management and shared physical-medical integration professional qualification system; 3) the insistence on clinically-oriented employment to form a health service matrix with medical care as the main focus and multiple scenarios.
