Assistant medical practitioner
Comparatively speaking, the examination for practicing assistant doctors is the earliest of the three examinations and the most familiar to rural doctors. The examination has been implemented since the promulgation of 1999 Law on Medical Practitioners. The exam is open to all doctors, not just rural doctors. Every year, doctors who meet the required academic qualifications and working years can take the exam.
Doctors can obtain the qualification certificate of practicing assistant doctors after passing the examination, and obtain the practice certificate of practicing assistant doctors after registration. Assistant medical practitioners should practice in medical, preventive and health care institutions according to their types of practice under the guidance of medical practitioners.
Assistant physicians working in medical, prevention and health care institutions in townships, nationality townships and towns may independently engage in general medical activities according to the situation and needs of medical diagnosis and treatment. It can be seen that assistant doctors can actually register and legally practice medicine nationwide.

Township practicing assistant physician
For some time, many doctors working in township hospitals still only have rural doctor certificates. In order to strengthen the construction of rural primary medical institutions, the state has decided to carry out the qualification examination for practicing assistant doctors in villages and towns. This examination is added on the basis of the current qualification examination for practicing assistant doctors, and it is a separate examination for those who practice medicine in township hospitals but have no qualification for practicing assistant doctors. The examination and the national doctor qualification examination are organized in a unified way, and the qualification line shall be stipulated separately. Those who pass the examination will be awarded the qualification certificate of practicing assistant physician, and the scope of practice is limited to township hospitals.
This inspection was carried out in most provinces of China from 20 1 1, which solved the problem of undocumented doctors in many township hospitals.
However, the subjects of the examination are only doctors working in health centers, and rural doctors are not eligible to take the examination. Moreover, it is stipulated that those who have obtained the qualification of practicing assistant doctors in villages and towns can continue to apply for the qualification of practicing assistant doctors, and those who have obtained the qualification of practicing assistant doctors do not need to take the examination of practicing assistant doctors in villages and towns. It can be seen that the certificate level of township practicing assistant doctors is lower than that of practicing assistant doctors. Because the examination seems to be only a green light for undocumented doctors in township hospitals, village doctors can't apply for it, which has caused a lot of controversy.

Assistant general practitioner in rural areas
In order to further strengthen the construction of grass-roots doctors in rural areas and alleviate the shortage of assistant doctors in rural areas, the state decided to carry out the pilot work of qualification examination for assistant doctors in rural general practice in 9 examination areas such as Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangxi, Chongqing, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Gansu and Ningxia in 20 16.
Candidates are doctors working in township hospitals or village clinics. Those who have passed the examination and obtained the certificate of practicing general assistant doctors in towns and villages are limited to work in township hospitals and village clinics after registration.
As can be seen from the provisions of the document, the township general practice assistant physician examination will replace the township practice assistant physician examination, which is more practical for all rural doctors. At the same time, after obtaining the qualification of practicing assistant doctors in villages and towns, you can continue to take the qualification of practicing assistant doctors, which means that it still cannot replace the certificate of practicing assistant doctors in law.
From the above analysis, it is suggested that rural doctors who have the ability should try their best to obtain a practicing assistant doctor, and those who are older and have difficulties in learning should also obtain a rural general practice assistant doctor certificate as soon as possible.
In the National Rural Doctor Education Plan (20 1 1-2020) jointly issued by the National Health Planning Commission and other five ministries and commissions, the overall goal of rural doctor team construction is that by 2020, all provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) in China should establish professional (assistant) doctors with secondary vocational school education or above.
Rural doctors are the network of China's medical and health system and the support of building a well-off society in an all-round way. If the knowledge and ability of rural doctors are insufficient, the beautiful goal of "healthy China" will be out of the question. Obtaining the qualification certificate of practicing assistant doctor (or above) is not only a "touchstone" to prove the personal ability of rural doctors, but also a "reassurance" to ensure that they can enjoy good national policies in the future.
Maybe one day, the rural doctor's qualification certificate will become a part of history like the barefoot doctor's certificate. You can point to it and say proudly, Look, that's my past-China's medical past.
