Expertise is divided into traditional medicine certificate and traditional Chinese medicine specialty physician qualification certificate, the former is commonly known as the old certificate, and the latter is the new certificate.
Although the name is similar, the difference is hugeLet's talk about the differences between old and new specialties.
On November 21, 06, the Ministry of Health promulgated the "Measures for the Qualification Examination of Traditional Medicine Teachers and Physicians with Proven Expertise", which came into force on February 1, 2007. Abbreviated as Order No. 52, that is, the policy on old expertise.
The new specialty is the "Interim Measures for the Administration of Qualification Assessment and Registration of Physicians with Proven Expertise in Traditional Chinese Medicine" adopted by the National Health Commission on July 31, 2017, which came into force on December 20, 2017, referred to as Order No. 15, which is the policy of new expertise.
As the name suggests, the new specialty certificate belongs to the physician certificate, and after getting it, you have the qualification to practice medicine or use your own special skills to open a clinic, while the old specialty does not belong to the physician certificate, so it does not have the qualification to practice medicine.
In terms of the scope of application of the certificate, there is no big difference between the new specialty and the old specialty, most of the new specialties can only be used in the province, and the old specialties can only apply for the assistant physician examination in the province.
In terms of registration difficulty, the new specialty requires very complex application materials and is very strict in review, while the registration materials for the old specialty are relatively simple and relatively easy to review.
The difference in the form of the exam is that the new specialty needs to be interviewed, so that the experts can review, and there will be written exams in individual provinces, and the old specialty exam method is written test + interview. The interview here is a skills test.
There is indeed a specialty physician qualification certificate is suitable for folk doctors who have a unique life, distinctive characteristics, and a certain reputation, that is, there is a certain foundation of traditional Chinese medicine and a person with a certain technology ** a disease is very powerful, traditional Chinese medicine does have a specialty qualification certificate is suitable for folk Chinese medicine with a good memory.
Those who have two qualification examinations can continue to take the exam, and if they have a specialty certificate, they can take the assistant physician certificate again, and the specialty physician certificate can be taken up to the medical practitioner certificate, but it takes 3 to 5 years.
In summary, it is still very easy to take the test if you have a professional old certificate, written test + skills, as long as you study hard, you can pass, because the old specialty exam has an outline and a question bank, as long as the score reaches the pass, you can get the certificate.
