Nowadays, many parents and students hope to apply for medical majors and become doctors in the future, so the score line of clinical medicine majors will continue to rise, and some universities will take medicine as a major category in order to fill up the majors with employment difficulties. Once you enter the "pit", all kinds of later troubles such as dropping out of school and petitioning begin. If your child aspires to become a clinician in the future, you must pay attention when you apply for volunteers, because although there are many medical majors, there are some specialties that he cannot be a doctor.
For example, in 2023, when Sun Yat-sen University enrolls students in Hubei, many medical majors such as clinical medicine are put together, including preventive medicine and basic medicine.
In fact, medicine is mainly a popular specialty that can be a clinical doctor, and not all medical majors can be doctors. Medicine includes basic medicine, clinical medicine, stomatology, public health and preventive medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine, pharmacy, traditional Chinese medicine, forensic medicine, medical technology, and nursing. If you want to become a doctor, you must first obtain a medical license. However, in medical professions, not all professions can apply for the medical practitioner qualification examination. The majors that can obtain the qualification certificate of medical practitioners include clinical, stomatology, traditional Chinese medicine, and public health. To be a dentist, you must study dentistry. Basic medicine, pharmacy, medical technology, forensic medicine, and nursing cannot obtain a licensed physician qualification certificate, which means that you cannot become a doctor if you apply for basic medicine at Sun Yat-sen University.
For example, after graduating from optometry, a bachelor of science degree is awarded, but you cannot apply for a licensed physician, you can apply for a medical technician, you want to become an ophthalmologist, you need to apply for optometry medicine, and you can graduate with a bachelor's degree in medicine, and you can obtain a medical practitioner's certificate to engage in the profession of a doctor. Dental technology, medical imaging technology, and biomedical engineering are all engineering majors, not medical majors, and you cannot apply for a licensed physician examination. In the basic medical major, the basic study period is five years, and although a bachelor's degree in medicine is awarded, one cannot become a doctor.
Therefore, candidates and parents must make it clear that after graduating from the nine medical majors and nursing majors, including basic medicine, stomatology technology, medical imaging technology, optometry technology, forensics, biomedicine, pharmacy, preventive medicine and medical laboratory technology, those who cannot take the professional physician qualification certificate cannot become a doctor, which must be clear.
