“…Following the trend of IHE, medical universities have been emphasizing the international mobility of teachers. The case selected for this study was one of the institutions of medical education under the provincial government's direct administration, known as regional medical university, which accounts for 92.10% of all the independent medical universities in China [15]. There are about 1400 university staff, offering bachelor's, master's, and doctoral programs for 17000 students.…”

“…A growing body of research has assessed and developed GC in higher education. Among them, students have been extensively studied [10,15,28], yet teachers have been less analyzed. Some have examined the factors in uencing teachers' level of GC [5], while others have focused on enhancing teachers' GC through types of programs, study abroad [14,26] and virtual mobility [34], for the sake of professional development.…”

Background The Chinese government and universities have invested significantly in the internationalization of teachers in the past decade, especially in supporting teachers’ outward mobility. However, this has not been analyzed in the current literature. This study examined teachers’ mobility efficacy using the construct of global competence in a comparative base. Methods An online questionnaire was distributed to the teachers of a medical university in China. Descriptive statistics were used to compare levels of global competence. A one-way ANOVA analysis was implemented to test whether overseas experience makes a difference in the development of global competence. Multiple comparisons tests were conducted to verify the results. Results There was a significant difference in the reported global competence between teachers with and without overseas experience. Long-term overseas experience and overseas degree studies had the strongest relationship with higher levels of global competence, although the difference between them was not obvious. The short-term overseas experience did not display obvious differences from the others. Conclusions Our findings reinforce the idea that overseas experience is likely to yield more gains in teachers’ levels of global competence, and long-term overseas programs can be encouraged to assist teachers in efforts to enhance global competence.

Background：Global competence has become an important competence for medical graduates in the globalised world. However, no research has been made to measure their global competence. This study intends to fill the gap and look into the influencing factors, with the purpose to raise proposals helping students prepared with this competence in the globalised labor market. Methods: An on-line questionnaire was administered to China medical graduates sampled from four institutions of medical education. Data was retrieved and incorporated into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. Data analysis was done by using SPSS. Descriptive statistics was made to analyze the level of medical graduates global competence. Influencing factors were investigated using multiple linear regression. Results: The sample had a relatively good level of global competence in general, but lacked skills in cross-cultural communication and international academic communication. We also found that “Internationalisation Concept and System” and “International Development of Teachers” in the school dimension and “Taking International Courses”, “International Publication” and “Participation in International Conference” in the dimension of individual international involvement had a significant positive impact on the cultivation of global competence. Conclusions: The development of medical graduates global competence is closely related to the university. Institutions of medical education should aim for the construction of an effective institutional mechanism for internationalisation to help improve students’ global competence.
