This paper aims to study the influencing factors of students majoring in clinical medicine (including directional training) in Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine on the occupational expectations of general practitioners. A total of 379 students majoring in clinical medicine and clinical medicine orientation in the College of Medicine and Life Sciences of Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine were investigated with the Occupational Expectation Scale. The results show that the average scores of students with two different training modes in the occupational expectation scale are higher than 3 points. At the same time, the monthly income of general practitioners expected by clinical medical students was investigated. The results showed that there were significant differences in the salary level of general practitioners expected by the two students. In addition, the doctor-patient relationship in primary medical institutions is also one of the important factors affecting the professional expectations of clinical medical students for general practitioners.
