Why can t a practicing physician assistant practice medicine alone?

According to Article 30 of the Law on Medical Practitioners, a practicing assistant physician shall, under the guidance of a licensed physician, practice in medical, preventive and health care institutions according to his or her practice category. Practicing assistant physicians working in medical, preventive, and health care institutions in townships, ethnic townships, and towns may independently engage in general practice activities according to the situation and needs of medical diagnosis and treatment.

According to the regulations, the scope of use of practicing assistant physicians and practicing physicians is the same, and it is valid nationwide. However, the practice of medicine independently is restricted, and it can only be practiced in remote areas, towns and villages and other areas with poor medical conditions.

Since practicing assistant physicians are not qualified to practice medicine independently, they naturally have no authority to open clinics. In accordance with the requirements of the state to open a clinic. Individuals need to meet the following requirements for starting a clinic:

A medical practitioner must be licensed and have practiced medicine in a medical, preventive and health care institution for at least 5 years before opening a personal practice.

The relevant laws stipulate that practicing assistant physicians cannot receive consultations alone, and doctors have to receive and prescribe, but it is not just the difference between two words, so why is there such a regulation?

The requirements for practicing physician assistants are relatively low.

The state now implements a system of qualification examinations for physicians, which is divided into the qualification examination for licensed physicians and the qualification examination for licensed assistant physicians.

To participate in the qualification examination for licensed physicians, you must have a bachelor's degree or above in medicine from a college or university, and under the guidance of a licensed physician, you must have completed a probationary period of one year in a medical, preventive or health care institution, or after obtaining a practicing assistant physician practice certificate, those with a medical college degree from a college or university must have worked in a medical, preventive or health care institution for two years, and those with a medical degree from a secondary specialized school must have worked in a medical professional for five years.

To participate in the qualification examination for practicing assistant physicians, you only need a medical college degree from a college or a medical degree from a secondary specialized school, and you can participate in it after a probationary period of one year in a medical, preventive and health care institution under the guidance of a licensed physician.

Physician assistants are required to operate under the supervision of a licensed physician.

After obtaining the qualification of a physician, it is necessary to apply to the local people's ** health administrative department at or above the county level to register and obtain a physician practice certificate before practicing medicine.

A registered medical practitioner obtains the corresponding prescribing authority at the place of practice, but a prescription issued by a registered licensed assistant physician in a medical institution is only valid after it is signed by the licensed physician at the place of practice or stamped with a special signature.

In general, considering that the medical knowledge and skill requirements for practicing assistant physicians are relatively low, in order to avoid some medical risks, assistant physicians still need to operate under the guidance of licensed physicians.

Although many peers say that there are indeed many assistant physicians whose clinical operations and theories are much stronger than those who have less training and certification experience.

However, the law is the law, in response to the year-end inspection, the qualification of clinic personnel is also one of the key projects reviewed by the Health Supervision Bureau, so I hope that all clinic bosses will pay more attention to it, and must not let the assistant doctor practice alone! Make up for incomplete qualifications as soon as possible! I wish you all to get the coveted certificate as soon as possible, approaching the Dragon Boat Festival, the Tiger Medical Examination Special Discount Event is coming, come and find out.

If you are currently a physician assistant, then I suggest that you can work in a township-level health center first, and then study while working, and after being admitted as a licensed physician, you can practice medicine independently without being restricted by your level.

No.

Physician assistant is qualified to practice as physician assistant.

of health care workers. He has a medical degree from a university of higher education.

or those with a medical degree from a secondary specialized school, under the guidance of a licensed physician, who have completed a probationary period of one year in a medical, preventive, or health care institution, may participate in the practice of assistant physicians.

Qualifying Examinations. Those who have studied traditional medicine for three years or have proven expertise after years of practice of medical skills shall be approved by the people's health administrative department at or above the county level.

Identified traditional medicine professional organizations or medical, preventive, or health care institutions may take the qualification examination for practicing physicians or practicing assistant physicians if they pass the examination and are recommended.

Article 10: Those who have a medical college degree from a school of higher learning or a medical degree from a secondary specialized school, and who have completed a probationary period of one year in a medical, preventive, or health care institution under the guidance of a licensed physician, may take the qualification examination for practicing assistant doctors and dry teachers.

According to the requirements for the registration qualifications for the medical qualification examination, the registration for the medical qualification examination shall not be accepted under any of the following circumstances:

1. High school graduates in health professions.

2. Graduates of basic medicine, forensic science, nursing, paramedicine, medical technology and other related medical sciences, pharmacy and medical management.

6. Active-duty servicemen holding a probationary period certificate issued by a local medical, preventive, or health care institution.

A licensed physician assistant is not considered a doctor. The scope of practice of practicing assistant physicians is limited to a certain extent, and they can only practice under the guidance of a licensed physician and cannot practice independently. Practicing assistant physicians working in medical and health care institutions in townships and towns may independently engage in general practice activities according to the situation and needs of medical diagnosis and treatment.

According to the provisions of the Law of the People's Republic of China on Medical Practitioners, practicing physicians are divided into two types: licensed physicians and practicing assistant physicians, of which professional assistant physicians refer to students who have graduated from secondary school and junior college.

It is a doctor, but there are some techniques that require a licensed physician to operate during clinical practice, and the practicing assistant physician can carry out clinical practice according to the requirements of the national licensed assistant physician.

Not a formal doctor, a doctor is also a step-by-step work experience and ability, and he must rely on his own hard work to become a qualified doctor.

It's just that an assistant is not a doctor, only a doctor who works hard and has rich experience is a qualified doctor, so work hard.

I think that theoretically a practicing assistant physician can be considered a doctor, but if he is not a doctor in terms of independently treating patients and taking medicines, his qualifications are not enough.

Assistant Physician Ye is not considered a doctor, because the scope of practice of practicing assistant physicians is limited, and they can only practice under the guidance of a licensed doctor, and cannot practice independently.

Not quite. Because I am an assistant physician, I can't see a doctor alone**, so it's not completely counted.

A practicing physician assistant is a doctor's position and title, which is used in the internal evaluation of doctors.

Of course, you are a doctor, and you also need to comply with the Medical Practitioner Act.

It should be the same, they are all practicing assistant doctors who have passed the examination, but the rural practicing assistant physician is engaged in the work of rural doctors, and the township practicing assistant physician is the doctor working in the town hospital.

The regulations stipulate two different situations: in a relatively small area, such as a township, ethnic township, town, or village, a registered practicing assistant physician can independently engage in general practice activities, then he can obtain the corresponding prescription right at the registered place of practice. However, in relatively large areas, where there is a licensed physician who has the right to prescribe, the prescription issued by a registered licensed assistant physician in a medical institution shall be signed by the licensed physician at the place of practice or affixed with a special signature and seal before it is valid.

Article 8 A registered medical practitioner shall obtain the corresponding right to prescribe at the place of practice.

Prescriptions issued by registered licensed assistant physicians in medical establishments shall be valid only after being signed by the licensed physician at their place of practice or affixed with a special signature.

Article 9: Registered practicing assistant physicians who independently engage in general practice activities in medical institutions in townships, ethnic townships, towns, and villages may obtain the corresponding prescribing rights at the registered practice location.

The state stipulates that practicing assistant physicians must obtain the qualification of practicing physicians for five years before they can apply to the state to open a clinic.

The Law on Medical Practitioners stipulates that those who have been practicing medicine for five years and have obtained the title of physician can apply for individual practice of medicine, and the actual situation in most areas is that as long as they have obtained the qualification of a licensed physician for five years, they can open outpatient clinics, and there are no physician qualifications, so they can practice people by themselves and find a person in charge with physician qualifications, and the clinic has nothing to do with academic qualifications but only with professional titles.

Legal Analysis: Practicing assistant physicians ≠ practicing physicians, practicing assistant physicians do not have "licensed physician qualifications", and practicing medicine alone is generally illegal to practice medicine, which may constitute the crime of illegal practice of medicine.

Legal basis: Article 336, Paragraph 1 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China A person who has not obtained a doctor's license to practice medicine illegally practices medicine, and the circumstances are serious, is to be sentenced to up to three years imprisonment, short-term detention or controlled release, and/or a fine; where the patient's physical health is seriously harmed, a sentence of up to three years imprisonment of not more than 10 years is to be given, and a concurrent fine; and where the death of the patient is caused, a sentence of 10 or more years imprisonment and a concurrent fine is to be given.
