    Abstract:

    Objective: To understand the status quo of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army’s (CPLA) pre-deployment trainings for peacekeeping medical contingents and propose suggestion for improvement. Methods: We conducted questionnaires, field investigations and focus group discussions among the CPLA’s participants of trainings, and a focus group discussion among foreign military officers at the CIE, SMMU, who had participated peacekeeping, to collect data in Shenyang, Beijing, Jinan, Lanzhou, and Chengdu Military Theaters of Operations(MTO). We then processed and analyzed the data with Microsoft Excel and SPSS. Results: The CPLA attaches great importance to the medical support for UN peacekeeping missions. Accordingly, it has nominated personnel of fine qualifications for pertinent trainings organized by respective MTOs. However, the conditions for training were generally poor and there was a shortage of professional teachers and appropriate textbooks. Suggestion: Establish peacekeeping training bases of the CPLA, intensify English language proficiency training, build a reserve of professional teachers, conduct scientific assessment and evaluation, and provide modularized and integrative trainings on medical support for peacekeeping, which are organized by a third-party institution at training bases.
