What is the major of Chinese medicine?

With the promulgation of the Law of Traditional Chinese Medicine, many people come to ask whether doctors majoring in traditional Chinese medicine can apply for the exam. For students who take the professional and technical route, then for the difference between the professional and technical certificate and the certificate of Chinese medicine specialist, Zhongyu Bianxiao will show you:

After the introduction of the New Deal, many students asked if there were any professionals who could apply for doctors specializing in traditional Chinese medicine. In recent years, there have been exams for professional and technical certificates of traditional Chinese medicine, and the specific exams are theory+practice.

You can't register for outpatient service if you have a professional certificate of Chinese medicine. Only one year later, you can take the examination of assistant doctors of traditional Chinese medicine, and five years later, you can take the examination of practicing Chinese medicine (the certificate of professional technology of traditional Chinese medicine is only one way for students without academic qualifications to take the examination of practicing Chinese medicine).

Chinese medicine (specialist) doctor qualification certificate

Students/people with expertise can obtain the qualification of Chinese medicine (specialist) without examination, but in the form of "examination", and they can obtain the certificate after passing the examination.

Every year, the Chinese medicine doctor qualification examination is divided into candidates with required academic qualifications and apprentices/specialties. Traditional Chinese medicine itself is a very special profession. We all know that Chinese medicine practitioners with high medical skills are accumulated by experience, so when we look at Chinese medicine practitioners, we often think that older doctors will have better medical skills. Another particularity of Chinese medicine profession is that learning Chinese medicine in the early years is a teacher, and you can start your career after learning certain skills. However, such people are good at a narrow range of diseases and low academic qualifications, so they are called specialties. However, the content of the qualification examination for TCM doctors is relatively extensive, which makes it difficult for these candidates to pass the national examination for TCM doctors.

In view of this situation, state administration of traditional chinese medicine has formulated policies:

The Interim Measures for the Administration of Registration for Qualification Examination of Specialists in Traditional Chinese Medicine changed "examination" into "examination", and the practical skills and effects were collectively evaluated by on-site experts. After passing the examination, you can obtain the qualification of Chinese medicine (specialist) doctor.

Note: this kind of regulation is really good news for students who are learning/specializing. On-site judges will evaluate the candidates, and they will test your knowledge and specialty. In this case, it will be easy to pass the exam, but your practice scope may be narrow, but it is recognized by the state, so you have the qualification certificate of Chinese medicine (specialist) and are now good at it.

Traditional Chinese medicine specialist is aimed at the situation that many people who have been engaged in Chinese medicine practice for many years and have special skills can't obtain the qualification of doctors through the unified examination.

According to the provisions of the previous Law on Medical Practitioners, the qualification examination for doctors was conducted by means of practical skills and comprehensive written examination, while the Interim Measures for the Administration of Registration of Qualification Examination for Doctors with Expertise in Chinese Medicine was changed from "examination" to "assessment", and the assessment was conducted by means of collective marking by experts on the spot. This regulation is a breakthrough in the reform of the access system for TCM doctors, which is more in line with the academic characteristics of TCM.

In other words, "we will test what you know, what we will test, and what we will use in the future." After expert review, it is true that Chinese medicine experts have directly obtained the qualification of Chinese medicine (specialist) doctors, and the scope of practice, including the technical methods of Chinese medicine that can be adopted and the scope of specific treatment of diseases, shall be determined according to the review conclusions identified by the review experts. According to the Measures, Chinese medicine (specialist) doctors should carry out their practice activities within the scope of practice. "

1. Conditions for participation in the assessment

For those who study Chinese medicine as an apprentice or have been practicing medicine for many years, 1 can be selected as two application conditions. However, the study or practice activities must reach 5 years, and there are unique, safe and effective Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment techniques and methods recognized by patients, and at least 2 Chinese medicine practitioners recommend them.

2. What is the qualification examination for TCM specialists?

If the treatment method of the examination major is mainly oral prescription combined with external treatment technology, or external treatment technology combined with traditional Chinese medicine, it is necessary to assess the added related contents.

3. How to test the qualification of TCM specialists?

Doctors majoring in traditional Chinese medicine are no longer written exams, but experts' on-site exams. Using expert evaluation method, through on-the-spot statements and questions and answers, retrospective evaluation of practical materials of traditional Chinese medicine, and operation of technical methods of traditional Chinese medicine, the practical skills and effects were scientifically and quantitatively evaluated. The number of experts shall be an odd number of not less than 5.

4. What certificate will be issued after passing the exam? Can I open a clinic?

Those who pass the examination shall be awarded the qualification certificate of traditional Chinese medicine (specialist) by the provincial competent department of traditional Chinese medicine. Then apply for registration in the local competent department of traditional Chinese medicine at or above the county level and obtain the practicing certificate of Chinese medicine (specialist) doctor. That is, you can engage in Chinese medicine medical activities in the form of personal practice or in medical institutions. (Note: The traditional medical skill appraisal certificate according to the old policy is only used as the certificate for applying for assistant doctors, and cannot be directly registered to practice medicine)

5. Can it be used in other provinces of this province?

Traditional Chinese medicine (specialist) doctors practice in the assessed provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) in principle, and those who intend to practice across provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) need to be approved and registered by the provincial department in charge of traditional Chinese medicine.
