The Physician Qualification Examination is one of the important examinations in China's medical industry, which is of great significance to ensure the professional quality and skill level of doctors. According to the notice issued by the National Health Commission, the medical qualification examination will be held in 2024, covering clinical, stomatology, public health categories and rural general practice assistant physicians. This article will provide a detailed description of exam registration, practical skills exams, and comprehensive medical exams, with a focus on some important matters.
The exam registration is divided into two parts: online registration and on-site audit. The online registration period is from January 22 to February 4, 2024 at 24 o'clock, and candidates need to fill in their personal information according to the regulations. For candidates who take the practical skills test at the National Practical Skills Examination Base in 2023 and pass the results but fail to pass the medical comprehensive examination of that year, they can directly take the medical comprehensive examination after registering online in 2024 and passing the qualification review. The on-site audit will be conducted from February 21 to March 5, 2024. Candidates need to arrange the time for online registration and on-site review reasonably.
Expanding: Exam registration is the first step in taking the medical qualification exam and is crucial for every candidate. Online registration provides a convenient way for candidates to register, candidates only need to fill in their personal information within the specified time and submit the corresponding materials as required. At the same time, for candidates with some practical experience, they can directly take the comprehensive medical exam without taking the practical skills test. The on-site audit is to ensure that the identity and qualifications of the candidates meet the requirements, and to ensure the fairness and authority of the examination. Candidates need to go to the designated location for review within the specified time in order to participate in the subsequent examination sessions smoothly.
The practical skills examination is an important part of the qualification examination for physicians, which is organized and implemented by the leading groups of the qualification examinations for physicians in all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government, and is conducted in principle at the national practical skills examination bases. The cut-off score for passing the exam is 60 points. Candidates who take the test at the National Practical Skills Test Base and pass the test will have their results valid for two years.
Expanded: The Practical Skills Test provides a comprehensive assessment of candidates' practical skills and professionalism. As an important part of the medical qualification examination, the practical skills test requires candidates to have certain medical skills and operational experience. The examination adopts strict assessment standards and a scientific scoring system, which is designed to evaluate the candidates' professional ability and practical experience in practical work. By taking the practical skills test, candidates can not only fully demonstrate their medical skills, but also summarize and improve their own shortcomings to improve their own medical level. The passing score of the exam is 60 points, and passing the practical skills test can strive for more employment opportunities and development space for candidates.
The comprehensive medical examination is the core part of the medical qualification examination, which is conducted by a combination of computerized examination and paper-based examination. Active-duty military personnel are required to take additional tests in military medicine, pre-hospital emergency positions, and pediatric specialties. The categories of traditional Chinese medicine are Mongolian medicine, Tibetan medicine, Uyghur medicine, and Kazakh medicine, which take the form of paper-and-pencil examinations. In the Physician Qualification Examination, the passing score for licensed physicians is 360 points, and the passing score for practicing assistant physicians is 180 points. Traditional Chinese Medicine, Mongolian Medicine, Tibetan Medicine, Uyghur Medicine, Kazakh Medicine, and Traditional Chinese Medicine (Zhuang Medicine) all include the conditions for having the required academic qualifications, teachers, or real expertise.
Expansion: The comprehensive medical examination is the most important part of the medical qualification examination, which is a comprehensive evaluation of candidates' comprehensive medical knowledge and ability. The examination adopts a combination of computerized and paper-based examinations, which not only examines the candidate's theoretical level, but also examines the candidate's practical application ability. For military active duty personnel, it is also necessary to test some content related to military medicine to ensure that they have the professional competencies required for military medical positions. The passing score for the Medical Licensing Examination is 360 points, and candidates need to achieve a score that meets or exceeds this threshold in order to pass the examination. For practicing assistant physicians, the passing score is 180 points, which is relatively low and the requirements are relatively low, but candidates are still required to have certain basic medical knowledge and skills. In addition, candidates majoring in traditional Chinese medicine, Mongolian medicine, Tibetan medicine, Uyghur medicine, Kazakh medicine, and traditional Chinese medicine (Zhuang medicine) also need to meet the requirements of having the required academic qualifications, teachers or professional skills.
In 2024, we will continue to carry out the pilot of "two examinations a year" for the clinical category and the traditional Chinese medicine category of the physician qualification examination. For eligible candidates, a second comprehensive medical exam can be taken. However, there will be no examinations for the Korean Medicine and Dai Medicine specialties in the TCM category. The Kazakh medical specialty in the category of traditional Chinese medicine will continue to be piloted, and eligible candidates can register for it according to the regulations. Candidates can inquire about the registration qualifications and related information of the Physician Qualification Examination through the National Health Commission, the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the National Medical Examination Network and the China Traditional Chinese Medicine Examination and Accreditation Network.
Expansion: In addition to the basic process and regulations of the exam, there are some other things that candidates need to pay attention to. First of all, in 2024, we will continue to carry out the pilot of "two examinations a year" for the clinical category and the traditional Chinese medicine category of the physician qualification examination. For candidates who have already taken the first comprehensive medical examination but have not passed or failed to take it, they can register for the second comprehensive medical examination. However, there will be no examination for the Korean Medicine and Dai Medicine majors in the TCM category, which requires the attention of relevant candidates. In addition, the Kazakh medical specialty in the category of traditional Chinese medicine will continue to be piloted, and candidates who meet the relevant conditions will register according to the regulations. For the specific requirements and registration information of the Physician Qualification Examination, candidates can inquire and consult through the National Health Commission, the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the National Medical Examination Network and the China Traditional Chinese Medicine Examination and Certification Network.
As one of the important examinations in China's medical industry, the physician qualification examination is of great significance to ensure the professional quality and skill level of doctors. The registration of the examination, the practical skills test and the comprehensive medical examination are the key links in the whole examination process, which requires candidates to fill in their personal information accurately according to the requirements, reasonably arrange the time for registration and review, and carefully prepare and Xi review the relevant knowledge of practical skills. At the same time, for the comprehensive medical examination, candidates need to be familiar with the format and content of the examination, and make a reasonable preparation plan according to their actual situation. In addition, candidates also need to pay attention to some other matters, such as the "two examinations a year" pilot and special arrangements for the TCM category. Finally, candidates can inquire and learn more about the regulations and related information of the exam through the official ** of the relevant state departments.
Through the qualification examination, we will cultivate and select more outstanding medical talents and make greater contributions to the cause of protecting the health of the people. I hope that all candidates can be prepared, achieve excellent results, and contribute to the development of the medical industry.
