BACKGROUND: Professional staff engaged in medical education research was important for enhancing the quality of medical education. AIM: To look at the current condition of professional staff in medical education research units in China. METHODS: A total of 46 related-to-insiders in 46 medical schools completed a questionnaire including the affiliation and mission and activities of the units, and the number and characteristics of the professional staff. RESULTS: Of the 46 schools, 24 (52.2%) had independent medical education research units. Of the 170 staff in the 24 units (mean = 7.1), 43.5% achieved Bachelor's degree or less and 61.8% had senior-level title, 27.6% middle-level title, and 10.6% junior-level title. Of the 24 units, 4.2% did not have any full-time professional staff, 16.7% had 1-2 full-time professional staff, 4.1% did not have any professional staff achieved Master's degree and above, and 87.5% cited educational research, 70.8% program evaluation, 58.3% sponsoring journals 54.2% teaching, 45.8% teacher evaluation, 41.7% faculty development, and 33.3% student evaluation in their mission and activities statements.
