Chinese medicine hospitals are shrinking. How do Chinese medicine students change careers?

For decades, Chinese medicine hospitals have gradually shrunk, and Chinese medicine students have either changed careers or changed careers. This is a reality that cannot be ignored. Through these superficial phenomena, the essence may be: Chinese medicine students are choosing practical actions. What do they want to choose? What do they choose? Listen-

Not all medical students are fit to be doctors.

Hong Fei, aged 34, is the business manager of an insurance company.

Hong Fei graduated from a medical college and worked in a county-level Chinese medicine hospital for two years. At that time, he also wanted to be an excellent Chinese medicine practitioner, respected by his peers and liked by patients. But two years later, his mind changed. Compared with those students who study western medicine or engage in other industries, his income is not only low, but also his major at school is difficult to adapt to the actual work. He finally chose to leave Chinese medicine hospital and travel to Shenzhen.

Hong Fei's first job was selling equipment in a medical equipment company. Hong Fei, who has a glib tongue, is like a duck to water in this industry, and his work performance is good. However, the chaos of competition in this industry makes him impetuous and can't help but resign.

Half a year later, Hong Fei resigned from his job and started from scratch, intending to stop working in pharmaceutical sales. But he has no working experience in other industries and is at a loss at the moment.

One day, he went to the talent market to try his luck and saw an insurance company recruiting insurance consultants. He knew nothing about this profession, but seeing that the recruitment conditions did not require a bachelor's degree or related work experience, he went to fill out the form and signed up. Well, the recruiter immediately gave Hong Fei an interview.

At the beginning of the interview, Hong Fei didn't mention his work experience in the hospital, but just took out those achievements in sales, and the person in charge of recruitment immediately took notice of him. With the deepening of the interview, recruiters began to ask some insurance-related questions, such as "Why did you choose insurance?" Why choose our company? Faced with these problems, Hong Fei and the person in charge of recruitment analyzed the economic development of Shenzhen-Zhuhai-Guangzhou and made a bold guess on the development prospect of the insurance industry. Unexpectedly, Hong Fei's theoretical analysis coincides with the person in charge. The person in charge praised Hong Fei and invited him to join the company team.

Subsequently, Hong Fei participated in the free training of insurance companies. In the training class, Hong Fei met many people. He found that these people had good jobs. Some of them are excited because their friends are doing well in insurance, and more people are optimistic about the sunrise industry of insurance.

After five days of training, Hong Fei successfully passed the exam with confidence and hard work, and signed a contract to become the insurance consultant of the company. Today, Hong Fei has become the management backbone of the company.

Hong Fei believes that many students studying Chinese medicine have no clear goals. There are many people like him who want to do other jobs after working in the hospital for several years, but they find that they have no great advantage compared with the newly graduated college students.

"Not all Chinese medicine students are suitable to be doctors. The income of doctors, especially Chinese medicine practitioners, is positively related to their professional titles and working years. Most young doctors can't earn money, and young people need money to buy a house, get married and have children. Therefore, it is a pity that many Chinese medicine practitioners have worked for several years to earn money and lost their professionalism and accumulation. " Hong Fei recalled his initial choice, but he still had some regrets.

You can support your alma mater in other industries.

BEN, 27, is the IT sales manager of a Japanese company.

When Ben was admitted to Hubei University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, he happened to meet the Internet craze in China. He is addicted to surfing the Internet, playing with hardware, and soaking in forums, and forgot all about DIY computers. He bought piles of "microcomputer" magazines. Later, by chance, he worked as a part-time editor in a hardware website in Wuhan, which brought him into contact with many businesses in the computer city and gradually became familiar with the IT industry.

In his junior year, Ben started his clinical internship. During my internship, Ben had a beautiful dream of pure Chinese medicine, but his dream was shattered by reality. This paper finds that there is no shadow of Chinese medicine in either Chinese medicine hospital or western medicine hospital. In a Chinese hospital, a teacher who graduated from a Chinese medicine college looked at him and said, "We don't need Chinese medicine at all!" "

The employment problem after graduation threw Ben's dream into the abyss. In big cities, it is difficult for graduates majoring in Chinese medicine colleges to find jobs unless they go to the countryside. But even in rural areas, Chinese medicine has many difficulties.

Therefore, Ben began to write columns for newspapers and periodicals such as China Computer News to earn contributions. By the way, he sold parallel notebooks online and submitted resumes. Two months after graduating from college, he received an interview call and asked him to go to Beijing for an interview. His work is related to computer hardware. Ben naturally changed his profession and promoted AMD and Maituo hard disks in Wuhan.

In 2004, our company needed to increase manpower in Guangzhou, and he applied to be transferred to Guangzhou. Soon, there were fewer and fewer customers in the department. At the end of the same year, the company completely dissolved the department where Ben was located, so in early 2005, Ben began his job search again.

Ben reflected on himself, redefined and planned the future development, and felt that the IT industry was most suitable for him. Now that he has determined his career direction, he began to adjust his mentality and look for a job with a normal heart, and soon entered this Japanese company.

When I entered the new company, I found that my time was not my own. I am on a business trip every month, flying between several provincial capitals such as Guangzhou and Shanghai. Slowly, he began to get used to traveling on business every day. For him, home has become a stranger place than a hotel, and the dining table at home is always covered with dust.

However, despite his busy schedule, Ben still feels very happy. His efforts have paid off handsomely, and his bonus is the highest in the company every time, and his performance ranks first in the country. In March this year, the company awarded top in three major regions of China.

Sales (including one person from Guangzhou) traveled to Saipan. During his stay in Saipan, Ben didn't want to work at all, enjoying the sea breeze and the beach, and everything felt so beautiful.

"After coming back from Saipan, sitting on the toilet at home, I was thinking, has my current job realized my personal value? Far from it. I want to own my own company, make it bigger and stronger, and make my alma mater proud of me. Although I switched to other professions, I can still work hard with other students to support my alma mater. If all students of Chinese medicine go to be general doctors, who can stand up and say a few weighty words when Chinese medicine urgently needs social support? " Ben said.

Our meeting is a watershed.

Feng, 3 1 year-old, is a medical representative of a pharmaceutical company.

After studying Chinese medicine for five years, my dream is to be a Chinese medicine practitioner, but my present job is a medical representative. Although these two professions both have the word "doctor", they give people a very different feeling. Just figure it out for yourself!

If the college students have changed, I think this change began in my class. The year I entered the university was 1998. At that time, the school was under construction, and I vaguely heard that it was preparing to expand enrollment. At that time, I was a little secretly pleased and glad. After all, I entered the university threshold before the expansion of university enrollment. Vanity makes me feel that my gold content is higher before the expansion of university enrollment, and those who are admitted to university with the help of the expansion of university enrollment always feel that they have got a big bargain. How can you compare with us "eldest students"?

This sense of superiority did not last long, and a feeling of depression soon came. I think I'm at a turning point.

The seniors before me seem to be very calm. Several 97-grade villagers who live upstairs were basically in the affiliated hospital of the university during the fifth year, and came back to wash clothes once a day or two. They never listen to their complaints. When I graduated, I found that they were really good, most of them were in hospitals above the municipal level, and suddenly one or two of them were admitted to graduate schools. That's because their financial situation is very good and they study hard. Several graduates from my hometown class went to Guangzhou and Shenzhen to look for jobs. Once, a senior sent lychees from the south to his girlfriend who was studying, which made us envious. Look at them!

When the new dormitory building of the school was built, I began to feel depressed. This building is located between our boys' dormitory and the playground. In the past, all the boys in the dormitory liked to watch the playground with their rice bowls. After all, it is the most dynamic place on the university campus, but the new dormitory blocks our view of the playground, not only blocking our view of the playground, but also stealing our sunshine. The lights in the dormitory suddenly dimmed and we were very unhappy.

During the internship, this sense of oppression is also quite obvious. I remember my fellow villagers once told us that one teacher takes one student, and basically there are as many interns in a department as 10, and as few as 5-6, but in our class, it is not the same thing at all. As soon as I talk about it, you will know that there is a special phenomenon in colleges and universities in Anhui Province between grade 98 and grade 99, that is, the spring recruitment class specially set up by the state to take care of students who failed in the college entrance examination. This class in our school started after the Spring Festival, with more than 80 students in one class. There are also several private medical schools in our local area, and the graduates of the same session are also crowded with us. God, think about it. What kind of scene is it when it's our turn to practice? A teaching teacher should teach at least four students. Generally, department heads are academic authorities. Whenever the director makes rounds, the wards and corridors are crowded with interns, so many people. In order to occupy the favorable terrain, the interns pushed each other and were very lively. So, sometimes I run away after the director of the department has checked the patients I teach.

I'm always used to comparing before and after college life. When I was in senior three, they spent little time on their resumes. They copy all kinds of certificates and order them together, and it is very stingy to give them to others when they see a unit. On this issue, our college students' ideas have changed, or their awareness of self-promotion has become stronger. It can even be said that we attach more importance to work than to patients, and we spend more energy on resumes than on medical records. We prefer to choose words on our resumes, but we are used to writing medical records by the book. When I graduated from college, I suddenly found that more than 20 job resumes I had carefully prepared were left in the empty beds in the dormitory.

At the time of the most tense job search, the counselor told us that some large hospitals in this province (hospitals above the municipal level) have saturated the demand for students majoring in clinical Chinese medicine, and there are still many jobs in hospitals below the county level. Anyone who wants to go can sign up. Counselors' unattractive phone calls are basically a waste of breath. A large class 100 people, only one girl went to the Chinese medicine department of a county hospital. Later, when asked, her father was the vice president of that hospital. In my opinion, the introduction of high-quality talents is the key to the development of primary hospitals, but how does the treatment match the five-year undergraduate education we receive? Counselors make us change our concept of employment all day, and we always say in our hearts: Would you go if it were you? Hypocritical guy.

In July 2003, I came to work in a town health center in Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province. Although it is a town health center, the basic salary alone is 1 000 yuan. I saw this job in a newspaper advertisement when I was rotating in the respiratory department of the hospital. I took it down the first time, and it was a bit mean. There is no way. People will definitely take my job when they see this notice.

In fact, I don't have any experience in finding a job. I came to that small town in Zhuhai from Anhui and haven't had time to take a look at my job. The person in charge of the hospital was very moved to see me carrying a quilt to apply for the job. I was very happy when I learned that I was hired. I sent a short message to tell my classmates that I have arrived in this developed city along the coast of Guangdong. Later, when I got familiar with it, I realized that this town is so remote in Zhuhai that local college students in Guangdong are reluctant to work there. Because my major is clinical Chinese medicine, I naturally went to work in the Chinese medicine department of this hospital. Gradually, I found that this is a marginalized department. Because I can't create the ideal economic benefits, the director of the department is "happy" all day. When I first found a job, my sense of luck gradually disappeared. Moreover, because it is in a small hospital, even patients have some disrespect for doctors, and often say to me, "The doctors in big hospitals are different from what you said."

After working for less than a year, I left the town health center and worked as a medical representative in a pharmaceutical company headquartered in Shanghai. After several years of accumulation, I am now a regional marketing manager. From Zhuhai to Shanghai, my work place is getting closer and closer to home, but my dream is getting farther and farther away from me. Whenever I go to see a doctor, I feel lost beyond words, and sometimes I feel a little lucky. After all, I am not far from the medical field.

I think our session is a watershed, ideal and reality, and I think reality comes first.

Reporter's notes

Ask Chinese medicine what sunset it is.

Chinese medicine needs to study in long-term clinical work, but many Chinese medicine students choose to leave, which makes the soil for the development of Chinese medicine more barren. It is believed that three people in this article, Ben and Feng, once loved Neijing and Typhoid Febrile Diseases, recited soup heads and acupuncture songs, and were fascinated by ancient Chinese medicine theory, but they were all forced to survive and finally chose to leave.

Many people learn what they don't need, or use what they don't. In order to survive, they have to change their professional direction. If there are reasonable channels for professional counterparts, you can further study and give full play to your strengths, and you must be very happy.

Traditional Chinese medicine faces many problems, but to sum up, there are two problems related to the life and death of traditional Chinese medicine. First, education. The College of Traditional Chinese Medicine teaches not Chinese medicine, but "grave diggers of Chinese medicine" (in Deng Tietao). There is no problem of oversupply of TCM talents in China, but there is no reasonable policy and effective measures to educate and arrange these talents, which will inevitably lead to the illusion of "oversupply" of TCM talents, but in fact, the imbalance of regulation has caused a serious loss of talent groups.

Secondly, the management of Chinese medicine. Many hospitals would rather hire old rural Chinese medicine practitioners with high salaries than graduates from Chinese medicine colleges, precisely because the real carrier of Chinese medicine is rural doctors. Rural doctors who can treat diseases but have no education should be given a way out, and good Chinese medicine should not be gradually lost.

Exploring a set of suitable methods for managing Chinese medicine may be the correct way to inherit and develop Chinese medicine. (dream deer)
