1971 China Q. Jan.–Mar. 185 Dr. Horn..gives by far the most detailed account I have seen in English of the training, role, and supervision of the peasant-doctors (or ‘barefoot doctors’), and their relationship to the mobile medical teams.

1972 J. S. Aird in D. J. Dwyer China Now (1974) ix. 186 In a rural area near Peking in 1971, the hsien revolutionary committee mobilized sanitation workers and ‘barefoot doctors’—youthful paramedics with a few months' basic training—to conduct birth control propaganda.

1974 China Reconstructs July 41/2 The term ‘barefoot doctors’ refers to medical workers trained from among commune members who continue to engage in farm work. As they first appeared in south China where the commune members work barefoot in the paddy fields, these new-type medical workers are called ‘barefoot doctors’.

1975 Nature 21 Aug. 610/2 The term ‘barefoot doctor’ is now known the world over. It seems that it was first used in the Chiangchen People's Commune on the outskirts of Shanghai in 1965, where a medical team started teaching young farmers to perform some medical tasks.
