New policy for medical orientation students in Gansu

Gansu’s new policy for targeted medical students: Free training of targeted medical students in rural areas will continue to be implemented, and all localities are required to do a good job in recruiting and training free undergraduate medical students in rural areas in the central and western regions in 2023 with central financial support.

Directed student refers to a policy formulated to help remote areas, minority areas and industries with difficult working environments cultivate talents and ensure that they receive a certain number of graduates. Ordinary colleges and universities can appropriately combine enrollment source areas with graduate employment, and include them in the "targeted employment" enrollment plan according to a certain proportion of the national enrollment plan.

In 1989, the former State Education Commission issued the "Interim Provisions on Targeted Enrollment and Employment in General Colleges and Universities", which clearly pointed out: In order to ensure that areas and industries with difficult working environments can obtain a certain number of graduates, higher education institutions The school implements "targeted enrollment and targeted employment" according to a certain proportion of the national enrollment plan.

The targeted areas are Inner Mongolia, Guangxi, Guizhou, Yunnan, Tibet, Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia, and Xinjiang. Units with difficult working environments in key national construction projects can also be targeted. Universities affiliated with the Ministry of Education can also recruit students from departments such as agriculture, forestry, geology, energy, building materials, meteorology, national defense and military industry, and the People's Liberation Army.

Candidates voluntarily fill in the application for targeted employment in colleges and universities and are admitted as targeted students in accordance with relevant policies. They must sign relevant targeted employment agreements with colleges and universities and targeted employment units before registration. The admission of targeted students generally follows the same admission score standard as that of non-directed students. Those who are above the college's admission control score can be admitted on a selective basis within 20 points below the college's admission score.

The importance of the targeted medical student training project:

The free training of targeted medical students is a major measure to deepen medical reform and strengthen the construction of the general practitioner team. It is also an important step to improve the overall rural grassroots medical and health team. The fundamental strategy of improving quality and level and implementing the hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system is an important part of promoting the coordinated development of urban and rural areas, ensuring and improving people's livelihood, and is an integral part of rural revitalization and poverty alleviation.

It is the main channel for supplementing grassroots health talents in our province at this stage. Since the implementation of the project in 2010, our province has recruited 5,834 oriented medical students, a total of 1,638 have graduated, and about 1,388 have been on duty. Oriented medical graduates have become an effective force in rural primary health care talents in our province, and have contributed to the improvement of primary medical care. The overall diagnosis and treatment capabilities of health institutions have played an important role.
