Chapter 355 Exceptional Associate Senior Professional Title Route (Please Subscribe)

Professor Deng Yong, who has a straight posture, had a mole on his lower left chin that twitched, and his face looked very uncomfortable.

Fang Ziye was still sleepy and hadn't actually woken up yet. When he was suddenly woken up, he turned around and saw that it was Professor Deng Yong. He didn't dare to make a scene.

He quickly pulled back the covers and immediately checked the old-fashioned ward's cell phone to see if there were any missed calls while he was asleep.

She rubbed her eyes and asked, "Master, what's wrong?"

Sleep if you can, I'm the chief resident, Master. Your sudden intrusion and disruption of my rest, unless there are special circumstances, could potentially increase my risk of sudden death from overwork.

"Come into my office with me first, and I'll talk to you then." Professor Deng Yong's face was still contorted with discomfort, and his mouth was crooked.

"I'll quickly rub my face, Master, I'm coming right away." Fang Ziye had just woken up and didn't even know if there was any sleep in his eyes, so he naturally had to rub them a little.

After Deng Yong left, Fang Ziye immediately scooped up some cold water, rubbed his face to warm it up, and then used the face towel that Luo Tingzhu had bought for him to wipe his face, using a whole towel at a time, which showed his extravagance!
Wearing a white coat, without even brushing his teeth, he walked into Professor Deng Yong's new senior office.

The director's office has been handed over to Professor Han Yuanxiao, the administrative director.

"Master, you just said that Professor Liu, what happened to him?" Fang Ziye asked.

Deng Yong sent Fang Ziye a message directly.

After opening WeChat, Fang Ziye found that it contained the application process for associate senior professional titles in the medical and health industry in Hubei Province.

The general application process for associate senior professional titles is as follows: applicants must have a bachelor's degree or above and have been employed as an attending (supervising) physician for 5 years; or have an associate degree and have worked in a county-level or lower-level primary healthcare institution for 7 years as an attending (supervising) physician.

Complete the required number of tasks (see below for details).

专业类别（临床、口腔、中医）：门诊工作时间不少于2000小时；收治病人不少于300例；手术数量不少于100例（含参与手术）；其中手术难度系数不低于0.5的手术不少于50例（含参与手术）……

This isn't actually the main point. The main point is the following content sent by Liu Huanglong:

Requirements for exceptional application for associate senior professional title: Meet the educational (degree) requirements, have been employed as an attending physician (pharmacist, nurse, technician) for at least 3 years, and in addition to meeting the evaluation requirements for this profession, must also meet one of the following conditions during their current tenure:

1.获国家级科技奖励一等奖以上（排名前5），或二等奖（排名前4）；获高官科技奖励一等奖以上（排名前2），或二等奖（排名第1）。

2. Obtained national invention patent authorization (ranked 1st), and widely used in actual clinical work, achieving significant social or economic benefits, with the annual output value of a single patent exceeding 100 million yuan; and the annual output value of multiple patents exceeding 200 million yuan.

3. The introduction and development of new technologies fill gaps in the city's professional field or achieve significant breakthroughs, reaching a leading domestic or advanced international level, and receiving written recommendations from no fewer than two academicians or four current chairpersons or vice-chairpersons of national-level academic (association) specialty branches, or other senior peer experts in the relevant field. (☆☆☆☆☆)
These star markings are so damn mischievous, no wonder Deng Yong said he was stumped.

Fang Ziye now meets the requirements for taking the intermediate professional title exam in the medical and health industry. Having obtained his doctoral degree, he is eligible to take the exam this year.

Traditionally, associate senior professional titles require five years of intermediate-level experience and certain performance metrics to qualify for the exam.

Who is Liu Huanglong? He is a 36-year-old senior professional.

If we follow the traditional promotion path, it takes five years to advance from intermediate level to associate senior level, and five years from associate senior level to senior level. Liu Huanglong is thirty-six years old, so he should only have been at the threshold of associate senior level for a few years.

He's very familiar with the concept of exceptional treatment.

However, the top two exceptional conditions for applying for associate professorships are extremely difficult for professors in the medical and health fields to obtain. It is only possible to achieve this if one creates an original diagnostic kit for a disease or develops a complete tumor research pathway.

Those who have won the National Science and Technology Progress Award or the first prize or above in the Science and Technology Award for Senior Officials are not eligible for special allocations to any industry. China has disciplines that rank among the world's top, and these professors are the true Ivy League winners.

As for obtaining a national invention patent and having it widely applied in actual clinical practice, that's even more difficult; it's better to seek a third special authorization.

Getting a written recommendation from such a top expert is no easy feat, unless there's a groundbreaking breakthrough on a global scale!
The most recent high-profile example is from the Department of Mathematics at Central South University in Shashi, where an undergraduate student solved a famous mathematical conjecture and was directly promoted to associate professor status by a joint written recommendation from prominent figures...

This is also a transaction of personal connections.

The most prestigious recommendation would naturally be a joint written recommendation from two academicians. However, these are incredibly high-ranking figures; there are only a handful of academicians specializing in orthopedics, so how could Professor Deng Yong possibly have access to them?

There are no academicians in Hubei Province specializing in orthopedics.

As for written recommendations from current chairpersons and vice chairpersons of national-level academic (association) specialty branches and other senior peer experts; this is not a place where Deng Yong does well, but Duan Hong of Tongji Hospital is someone he can barely get involved with.

But Duan Hong is just Professor Deng Yong's friend, not someone from this institute. Why would he help him? Doesn't Duan Hong have a litter of chicks under his belly?

"Master, these? Aren't they too difficult?" Fang Ziye looked at Deng Yong. Deng Yong grinned upon hearing this: "If they weren't difficult, how could I be held back by Liu Huanglong?"

"This guy knows how to play the 'favor' card. He has an academician father-in-law who's a big shot, and he's started showing off in front of me. The problem is, I don't know how to deal with him yet."

"What a mess!" Deng Yong was extremely frustrated.

Who wouldn't want to personally provide the best for their students?

But currently, Deng Yong simply cannot do it, and even Professor Du Xinzhan at Zhongnan Hospital has difficulty accessing such extraordinary individuals and requires written recommendations.
"Master, shall we stop thinking about it?" Fang Ziye didn't care. He never thought about following in other people's footsteps to pursue fame.

Whether it's Professor Liu Huanglong's advanced age of 36, or that legendary academician's ten years from undergraduate graduation to becoming a world-class scholar, they are all just empty titles.

As I said before, Fang Ziye is already content as long as his family is good enough to feed him.

Naturally, Fang Ziye was already quite satisfied that he was able to come from a small corner of Ba County to Han City and thrive there.

The Zhongnan Hospital platform is not too big, but it is not too small either. If you have ambitions, you can achieve them with Wuhan University as your supporting institution. So why worry about so much?
They all want to go to the best. In China, there are West China Hospital, Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital, and Peking Union Medical College Hospital. World-renowned hospitals include the Mayo Clinic. They have to leave their own country to contribute their academic achievements to foreigners...

Unless the domestic atmosphere puts him under too much pressure, Fang Ziye's instinctive patriotism is willing to be fully poured out on this land.

"Why wouldn't you want to?" Deng Yong asked Fang Ziye.

"You don't even want what others give you? A true gentleman doesn't accept charity? What era are we living in? Do people still have such outdated ideas?"

Fang Ziye was taken aback.

"Reject outdated ideas! As long as someone is willing to help us and their intentions are good, we should accept it. The reason Liu Huanglong sent me this message this time was not only because I was holding him back, but also to remind us."

"I should do my best to increase your privileges."

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye instantly understood and became interested: "Master, do you mean you're going to grant me Level 3 surgical authority?"

Fang Ziye's current skill points are mostly those that are openly classified as level one and level two surgical procedures.

Basic skills are the most fundamental operations and can be classified as Level 1 operations, such as debridement, suturing, incision, and manual reduction.

The rest, such as vascular suturing and nerve suturing, are exclusive level-two skills of hand surgery.

Naturally, when it comes to the correspondence between physicians and surgical levels, there is only a correspondence between orthopedic surgeons and level two orthopedic surgeons. In principle, a trauma surgeon can perform level two hand surgery without any problems.

Level 3 wasn't specifically added. What would be the point of adding it? It's not something you can do in clinical practice. Does it just look good?
Open reduction and internal fixation of fractures, as well as simple fracture classification surgeries, all fall under the category of Level II surgeries.

Of course, if Professor Deng Yong were to step in and arrange for him to receive authorization for Level 3 surgery, then Fang Ziye would be able to perform more procedures in the future.

Level 3 surgeries are core procedures in trauma surgery, encompassing a wide variety of types and enabling the implementation of numerous future surgeries. The knowledge involved is also immense…

"Yes, according to relevant regulations, only attending physicians can perform Level II surgeries, and under the on-site guidance of senior physicians, they can gradually perform Level III surgeries. Senior attending physicians: can perform Level III surgeries."

"The surgical procedures related to damage should all be classified as Level III surgical procedures. If you want to engage in treatment and clinical research in this area, it is normal for you to obtain Level III surgical authority."

"Otherwise, if the higher-ups don't come, you can't even carry out your work on a regular basis, which isn't a good thing."

"Sigh!" Deng Yong sighed slightly as he said this: "Ziye, you've grown up too fast. I remember last year, you were only at this time doing your doctoral fieldwork in Enshi!"

"You went abroad for another six months and just got back. I haven't even recovered from the feeling that you were my student, and you're graduating again."

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye took a deep breath and stood at attention slightly: "It's all thanks to my master and senior colleagues who were willing to mentor me; otherwise, I would still be a doctoral student."

Fang Ziye knew that his doctoral degree was superficial.

I enrolled in September, spent April of that year in Enshi, a prefecture-level city, and only returned from abroad in February of this year. I started serving as the chief resident and graduated in March. I never even spent time with Professor Deng Yong, and I never let Professor Deng Yong experience being a teacher.

Deng Yong nodded, reached out and patted Fang Ziye's shoulder, and said softly, "If you go to other people's homes later, remember to be well-behaved and sensible. Other people's homes are not the same as your own..."
