After the implementation of the new "Physician Law", what are the impacts of the primary medical and health field?

After the new "Physician Law" is officially implemented, the primary medical care, public health, and private Chinese medicine will once again take an important step forward
.

Recently, the "Physician Law of the People's Republic of China" (hereinafter referred to as the "Physician Law") was promulgated and will be formally implemented on March 1 next year
.

What impact will this large-scale revision have on the field of primary medical care? The following five aspects are beneficial to primary doctors
.

Positive one: technical secondary school medical students can still apply for the exam within a certain period of time

Article 64 of the Physician Law states:

Before the implementation of this law and within a certain period of time after the implementation of this law, personnel who have obtained a medical professional degree from a secondary professional school may take the physician qualification examination
.

Compared with the previously announced "Physician Law" (draft), the applicant can apply for the examination within 5 years to a certain period of time
.

Xu Yucai, deputy director of the Shanyang County Health and Health Bureau of Shaanxi Province, explained to Cyberlan-Primary Physician Commune, “This move has become more flexible.
Obviously, it fully takes into account the actual situation of China’s existing medical teams.
For example, some schools currently have Among the enrolled technical secondary school students, some technical secondary school graduates have not yet obtained a doctor’s practice certificate
.
The five-year period has been changed to a certain period.

Of course, there is room for this flexibility

Neither five years nor a certain period of time can change the fact that doctors with technical secondary school degrees are no longer adapting to the current medical career development
.

The "Physician Law" once again verified this point of view, and Article 64 states:

The state adopts measures to encourage people with a medical degree in secondary specialized schools to improve their medical technical capabilities and levels by participating in higher-level education and other means
.

The door opened to technical secondary school doctors is slowly closing
.

Good for two: rural doctors provide for the aged and receive benefits into the law

For a long time, the majority of village doctors hope that the national level can introduce a unified pension policy.
This time, Article 47 of the "Physician Law" proposes:

The state has adopted measures to help rural doctors improve their medical technology capabilities and levels through informatization and intelligent methods, and further improve the multi-channel subsidy mechanism for rural doctors’ service income and policies for the elderly
.

It is worth noting that Article 47 also states that the specific management measures for rural doctors shall be formulated by the State Council
.
A simple sentence contains important information

The previous "Regulations on the Management of the Practice of Rural Doctors" were formulated in accordance with the provisions of the "Practicing Physicians Law of the People's Republic of China
.
" It was adopted by the 16th executive meeting of the State Council on July 30, 2003, and was promulgated by the State Council on August 5, 2003, and will come into force on January 1, 2004

The "Physician Law" has been overhauled, and the practice management methods of rural doctors will surely undergo major changes
.
Perhaps it is not only the aspects of pension and treatment, but also new rules for the identity, access and development path of rural doctors in the future

The team of village doctors is facing a major reshuffle
.

Good for three: the status and treatment of basic-level public health doctors are improved

In fact, most of the public health work at the grassroots level is performed by clinicians or general practitioners.
Few places are dedicated to the work
.

In addition, due to the poor treatment and professional superiority of public health personnel, it directly affects the enthusiasm of grassroots doctors in public health
.

The "Physician Law" attempts to solve the above problems from two aspects: full-time professional work and local treatment.
Article 45 proposes:

Disease prevention and control institutions, medical institutions above secondary level, and township health centers, community health service centers and other primary medical and health institutions shall be equipped with a certain number of public health physicians to monitor population diseases and hazardous factors, risk assessment and judgment, monitoring and early warning, and epidemics school survey, immunization program management, occupational health management, public health work
.
Medical institutions shall establish a sound management system and strictly implement nosocomial infection prevention and control measures

Article 44 proposes:

Physicians engaged in the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, radiation medicine, mental health, and other special positions shall be given appropriate allowances in accordance with the relevant provisions of the state
.
The allowance standard should be adjusted regularly

How to implement it? Perhaps the newly unveiled National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention will outline a satisfactory new picture
.

Public health is no longer a dispensable job, nor is it a job that anyone can do
.
By then, there will be an increase in the number of applicants for public health related majors, which will contribute to the basic public health cause

This is a top-down reform
.

Good four: Chinese medicine practitioners can be exempted from the examination

First, compared with the old law, Article 11 of the "Physician Law" states:

If you learn Chinese medicine through a teacher-accredited method or after many years of practice, you should be recommended by at least two Chinese medicine doctors.
After passing the practice skills and effect assessment organized by the provincial people's government Chinese medicine department, you can obtain the qualifications of Chinese medicine doctors and the corresponding ones.
Qualification certificate
.

In other words, the qualifications of TCM physicians can be exempted from the examination by recommendation
.

In this regard, industry insider Wang Yi (pseudonym) analyzed to Cyberlan-Primary Physician Commune, “The specific rules and measures for this article have not yet been formulated.
The method, time, number of hours, the qualifications of the teachers you follow, and the qualifications of the teacher's unit shall not be too relaxed
.
"

Second, compared with the previously published "Interim Measures for the Administration of Qualification Examination and Registration for Physicians with Expertise in Traditional Chinese Medicine", the threshold for teachers and students to participate in the qualification examination of Chinese medicine doctors has been changed from five years to three years
.
That is Article 11 of the "Physician Law":

Those who have studied Chinese medicine in the form of a teacher for at least three years, or have proven expertise after years of practicing medical skills, are qualified and recommended by the professional organization of Chinese medicine or medical and health institutions commissioned by the health authorities of the people’s government at or above the county level, and can participate in the qualification examination of Chinese medicine doctors.

.

Han Yufeng, deputy secretary-general of the Young Physician Branch of the China Association for the Advancement of Chinese Medicine, analyzed to Cyperan-Grass-roots Physician Commune, “Whether it is a change in the length of study or the length of the teacher's experience, the core still needs to master a certain amount of knowledge, because there will be an assessment eventually
.
There is no need to wait for five years to pass the assessment after studying for three years.
This move is based on the needs of talent development
.
"

Folk Chinese medicine guards the cloud and sees the moonlight
.

Good for five: reduce the burden of grassroots doctors and enjoy preferential treatment in many aspects

Article 44 of the Physician Law states:

The state establishes a sound personnel, salary, title, and reward system that reflects the professional characteristics of physicians and the value of technical labor
.

Physicians working at the grass-roots level and in difficult and remote areas enjoy allowances and subsidies in accordance with relevant national regulations, and enjoy preferential treatment in terms of professional title evaluation, career development, education and training, and commendation and rewards
.

To give a simple example, before this, in some places, the requirements for attending examinations for attending examinations were required to have a training certificate, but not many grassroots doctors were able to accept three-year formal training
.

At the same time as this new revision of the Physician Law, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the National Health Commission, and the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine jointly issued the "Guiding Opinions on Deepening the Reform of the Professional Title System for Health Professionals".
The grassroots level is greatly inclined.
If you propose a bachelor's degree or below, you do not need to train, as long as you have reached a certain number of years of work, you can apply for the examination and attend the examination
.

In addition, Article 42 of the "Physician Law" has changed the period of doctor examinations from two years to three years
.
Peng Lijun, director of the Medical Examination and Training Division of the Physician Service Platform, explained to Cyberlan-Basic Physician Commune, “Nowadays, doctors have too many examinations every year, and the main purpose of revising the new version of the Physician Law is to reduce the burden on physicians
.
”

Throughout the entire "Physician Law", there have been many breakthroughs in the protection of various rights and interests of physicians
.

Use the law to protect the loveliest person in the new era
.

The "Physician Law" conforms to the development of the times and provides a stronger impetus for the future development of medical and health care.
However, some people in the industry have pointed out that these legal provisions need to be implemented continuously for a long time
.
We will wait and see what the final result will be
.
