Background: The Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC) is a widely used scale in autism clinical intervention research for the assessment of core symptoms and comorbid emotional and behavioral problems among people with autism. The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Simplified Chinese version of the Aberrant Behavior Checklist (SC-ABC) using a sample of people with autism in a Chinese population.Methods: In total, we enrolled 799 patients aged 1.5–33 years old. We collected data using the SC-ABC (n = 799), Autism Behavior Checklist (n = 743), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale-IV (ADHD-RS-IV) (n = 433) and Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) (n = 319). Eighty-four patients were separately assessed with the SC-ABC by two caregivers simultaneously. Forty-four patients were assessed with the SC-ABC again by same caregiver 2 weeks after the first assessment. SC-ABC data from the whole sample were used for confirmatory factor analysis. We evaluated criterion validity using Spearman's correlation coefficient between scores of the SC-ABC and scores of the Autism Behavior Checklist, ADHD-RS-IV and CBCL separately in the whole sample and different age groups. We calculated the intragroup correlation coefficients and Spearman's correlation coefficient for interrater reliability in 84 samples and test-retest reliability in 44 samples. We conducted Cronbach's α for internal consistency.Results: For the SC-ABC, the intragroup correlation coefficients of five subscales and the total score in interrater and test-retest reliability ranged from 0.87 to 0.92 and from 0.93 to 0.97 (all P < 0.01). The Spearman's correlation coefficient of five subscales and the total score in interrater and test-retest reliability ranged from 0.78 to 0.85 and 0.86 to 0.94, respectively (all P < 0.01). Cronbach's α of five subscales and the total score ranged from 0.75 to 0.96 (all P < 0.01). The Spearman's correlation coefficient for criterion validity for the whole sample and different age groups ranged from 0.39 to 0.76 (all P < 0.01). The model fit for the original five factor model was acceptable, with fit indices of SMR = 0.062 and RMSEA = 0.052.Conclusions: The SC-ABC has satisfactory psychometric properties and can be used in the assessment of core symptoms and comorbid emotional and behavioral problems in patients with autism.

Objective To analyze and to evaluate the second stage clinical comprehensive skills examination results of clinical physician certification test by the students from Peking University Health Science Center. Methods Totally 188 students from Peking University Health Science Center have obtained valid results in the second stage of examination of clinical practitioners certification test in 2018. Those examination results were selected as the study subjects. SPSS 19. 0 was used to test the internal consistency reliability, structural validity and criterion validity of the students' clinical comprehensive skill scores, and to analyze the differences among different groups of examinees. Results The average scores of the 188 students from 1～6 test stations of the clinical comprehensive skills examination were 9. 81,13. 67,12. 72,7. 25,16. 56 and 16. 94 respectively, with a total average score of 77. 45. The internal consistency reliability Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0. 379 in the six test stations. The correlation coefficient between the scores of each examination station and the total scores of clinical comprehensive skills were 0. 392 ～ 0. 529. Spearman correlation coefficient r=0. 320 between the results of the second and third stations. The correlation coefficient between the total scores of the first four stations of clinical comprehensive skills in the second stage examination and the scores of case analysis in the graduation examination was 0. 286. The correlation coefficient between the total score of the 5th and 6th stations and the skill operation score of the graduation examination was 0. 187. The correlation coefficient between the total score of clinical comprehensive skills in the second stage examination and the total score of clinical skills in the graduation examination was 0. 347. There are slight differences in the examination results of different categories of students. Conclusions The reliability and validity of the second stage clinical comprehensive skills examination results of clinical practitioners certification in Peking University Health Science Center in 2018 are only mediocre and so further scientific analysis and rational design are needed. The university should strengthen the training of clinical reasoning and clinical skills of medical students.

Objective To raise suggestions on the reform and development of general education in medical colleges through investigating and analyzing the demands and evaluations of medical students on general education.Methods A self-designed questionnaire was used to investigate the medical students from grade 2010 to grade 2014 in a university.Results Most medical students thought it is necessary to carry out general education in medical colleges but the current curriculum of general education couldn't meet their needs.Class schedule,not understanding the course content and the limitation on class size were the main confusion when students selected courses.Most students thought that the degree of their participation in general education curriculum is low.Conclusions Medical colleges should optimize the teaching pattern,improve the curriculum information and elective system based on the rich general education resources to meet the needs of medical students in general education.

General education as a non professional education that all undergraduates should accept is an important part of medical higher education.And elective course is the main way of the implementation of general education.Critical issues are analyzed through the current situation of medical undergraduates' selections on general education curriculum.And specific suggestions are presented to strengthen general education curriculum system for medical students.

To study the effectiveness of the application of modified objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) in the graduation examination in clinical medicine, the reliability, validity, difficulty and discrimination of OSCE are analyzed by gathering scores of graduation examination for undergraduates majored in clinical medicine . Questionnaire is used to get the opinions on the OSCE from examinees. It is found that the internal consistency reliability coefficient is 0.671 and the Pearson correlation coefficient between the OSCE and the theory test is 0.561 (P=0.000). The overall difficulty and discrimination are 0.81 and 0.21 separately. 71.43 percent of students maintain that OSCE could reflect the level of their clinical skills objectively and comprehensively. Therefore, the modified OSCE results are reliable and effective, which can be used for the evaluation of students' clinical skills in college graduation examination.

This paper introduces and compares the general education for medical students in 6 higher education institutions in the Chinese mainland,Hong Kong and Taiwan from the points of idea,curriculum mode,and study requirements,and analyzes current situation of the general education in medicine field in China and the characteristic of different regions,in order to make a reference for the reform of general education in medical universities,and help us learn and use as reference from these experiences.
