Is there a difference between a TCM specialty and a licensed physician?

The difference is that the TCM (specialty) physician certificate can directly open a clinic in the local area without filing; However, those who hold a TCM practice qualification certificate have a relatively additional threshold - 5 years of experience in other medical institutions ,..

As follows:

1): No, if it must be cross-provincial, it must be agreed by the provincial competent department of traditional Chinese medicine where the practice is located.

According to the "Interim Measures for the Administration of the Qualification Assessment and Registration of Physicians with Proven Expertise in Traditional Chinese Medicine" (i.e., Order No. 15 of the National Health and Family Planning Commission), TCM (specialty) physicians practice in the provincial-level administrative area where their assessment is located. Traditional Chinese medicine (specialty) physicians who practice across provinces must obtain the consent and registration of the provincial competent department of traditional Chinese medicine in the place where they intend to practice. That is to say, this qualification certificate can not be used nationwide, if you want to register in other provinces, you must get the consent of the provincial competent department of traditional Chinese medicine where you practice, and what procedures need to be taken here, whether it is assessment or simple registration, it depends on the specific local policy.

If you have a TCM (specialty) physician qualification certificate, you can directly open a clinic.

According to the regulations, Article 22 Chinese medicine (specialty) physicians shall implement regional registration management of physicians. Those who have obtained the "Qualification Certificate of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Specialty) Physician" shall apply for registration to the competent health department at or above the county level where the proposed practice institution is located, and the registration requirements shall be implemented with reference to the "Administrative Measures for the Registration of Physicians", and after registration, the "Practice Certificate of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Specialty) Physician" uniformly printed by the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine shall be obtained.

Article 23 Chinese medicine (specialty) physicians shall be registered in accordance with the content of the assessment, and the scope of practice shall include the technical methods of traditional Chinese medicine and the scope of specific disease syndromes consistent with the content of the assessment.

Article 24 Those who participate in the examination in this province and obtain the "Qualification Certificate of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Specialty) Physician" may apply to practice within the administrative area of this province; Traditional Chinese medicine (specialty) physicians from other provinces who apply to practice in our province must participate in the assessment of our province and can only register at the place of practice after passing the assessment.

Article 25 Those who have obtained the "Practice Certificate of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Specialty) Physician" can engage in traditional Chinese medicine medical activities in the registered practice location and scope of practice in the form of personal practice or in medical institutions. Those who have not registered and obtained the "Practice Certificate of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Specialty) Physician" are not allowed to engage in medical, preventive and health care activities.

Physician is an intermediate title, while TCM Assistant Physician is a junior title.

The TCM Specialty Physician Examination is mainly aimed at people who are not qualified for the TCM examination, and it is a type of certificate set up for those who have no skills to practice medicine without a license.

TCM specialty physicians mainly pass the on-site assessment of provincial experts. After getting the certificate, you can open a traditional Chinese medicine clinic, but you can't open a comprehensive clinic of traditional Chinese medicine, the scope of registration is clearer than what method to treat what disease, you can only practice in accordance with the scope of registration, and the main body of certificate law enforcement is the competent department of traditional Chinese medicine at or above the county level.

On the one hand, the group of TCM assistant physicians is recognized by the state as a group of people with TCM academic qualifications, and the main people with technical secondary school or above can apply for the examination, and on the other hand, they are teachers or people with real expertise.

TCM assistant physicians are mainly assessed through the National Qualification Examination for Medical Practitioners. You can't practice medicine if you have a physician assistant certificate, and you can only practice medicine if you have a medical practitioner certificate. The individual exceptions are as follows:

Paragraph 2 of Article 30 of the Law on Medical Practitioners stipulates that "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 circumstances and needs of medical diagnosis and treatment." The "medical, preventive and health care institutions in townships, ethnic townships, and towns" mentioned here mainly refer to township health centers and village clinics, excluding individual clinics.

To put it simply, a licensed physician assistant cannot practice medicine independently in a clinic, let alone have the qualifications to open a clinic, and can only open a clinic after 5 years of work (except for the TCM category).

The people do have expertise, but this kind of expertise has not been certified by experts and authoritative institutions, and there is a great risk.

After obtaining the qualification certificate of TCM expertise: you can open a TCM outpatient clinic (legal practice), practice medicine independently, have the right to prescribe, or you can go to major hospitals to compete for posts (TCM positions) for 5 years to apply for the licensed physician examination.

The big difference is that after the examination comes out, the examination assistant and the practitioner examination form is a written test and an interview, and the specialty physician is only an interview and can practice directly.

With a TCM practitioner qualification certificate, you can apply for the TCM assistant and TCM practitioner if you meet the registration conditions.

It can only be used as a condition for applying for the TCM practice assistant physician examination. The existing TCM specialty physician qualification certificate, after obtaining the certificate, you can directly register to open a clinic, or practice in the hospital, without any academic requirements, no written test, only a 30-minute interview. It is now in the registration period.

If you do have a specialty certificate, you can apply for the qualification certificate of a Chinese medicine practitioner, but you can apply for a Chinese medicine practitioner after 3 to 5 years after obtaining a practicing assistant physician; The new specialty qualification certificate can legally practice medicine, or you can engage in medical activities in medical institutions or open your own outpatient clinics, and you can directly apply for the TCM practitioner examination after 5 years of work experience in the new specialty physician qualification certificate, hoping to help you.

Have the right to prescribe, can practice medicine, and can open a single department and a single clinic.

It is what kind of clinic you can open if you apply for the exam. The certificate can only be used in the province where the exam was taken. Inter-provincial applications are required.

The exam is conducted in the form of an interview. 5-7 examiners will conduct interviews and assessments. If you register and meet the requirements, you can apply, but the pass rate is low and the exam is difficult.

After obtaining the certificate, it will take another 5 years before you can apply for the medical practitioner examination.

It is difficult to get into the test if you have the right to practice medicine and open a clinic.
