What is the TCM Specialty Physician Qualification Certificate?
The qualification certificate of a professional physician in traditional Chinese medicine (hereinafter referred to as the qualification certificate of a professional physician in traditional Chinese medicine) is a new channel in the "Chinese Medicine Law" for personnel with a skill to obtain the legal qualification to practice medicine in accordance with the law.
What is the difference between the TCM Specialty Physician Certificate (new specialty) and the TCM Proven Specialty Certificate (old specialty)?
1. After the examination of the TCM specialty physician certificate, you can directly open a clinic, and the specialty certificate can only be used as a voucher for applying for the assistant physician examination, which is equivalent to the purpose of the graduation certificate.
2. The TCM specialty physician certificate has the right to prescribe, but the specialty certificate does not have the right to prescribe.
3. The TCM specialty physician certificate is assessed by expert review, and if there is indeed expertise, it is still the traditional practice skills to be tested first and then the written test.
4. You can take the TCM practitioner exam 5 years after obtaining the TCM specialty physician certificate, and if you do have a specialty certificate, you need to practice for 1 year before you can apply for the assistant physician exam, and the assistant physician can only take the exam after 5 years after the exam. Physician assistants do not have prescribing authority and are required to practice medicine under the guidance of a licensed physician. A licensed physician needs to have practiced for at least 5 years before he can open a TCM polyclinic.
