Is there no limit to this doctor's skills?

CSCD, or China Science Citation Database, is one of the most authoritative and core scientific journal databases in China.

During his master's studies, Wang Hai published SCI (Science Citation Index), an international journal literature retrieval tool that is considered to have higher value than CSCD.

Feeling guilty under Guo Ziyuan's gaze, Wang Hai quickly moved closer to comfort him, saying, "I didn't mean to tease you just now."

"Think about it, for PhD applicants, isn't your CSCD publication and my SCI Q2 publication the same thing?"

"Liang Yuanhui, Zhu Xueyun, and Liu Xueqing all published papers in the first-tier journals, which is why their papers have practical significance."

"We...we are still brothers in the same trench."

At this time, Wang Hai was young and naive. Having not experienced society, his way of comforting people always involved categorizing himself and his friends.

Guo Ziyuan, amused, whispered, "Wang Hai said Professor Ma Chuanfeng is a joker, Wang Hai said Ma..."

Wang Hai was startled like a frightened rabbit, scrambling a few steps away from Guo Ziyuan, his gaze fixed on Guo Ziyuan with resentment.

I was trying to help you! How can you not appreciate my kindness?

……

After the surgery.

Ding Xianqi then led Guo Ziyuan and another person out for a solo run, into the locker room corridor—

"You did alright today. Although you were a bit of a 'show-off,' at least you made Professor Ma remember you."

Ding Xianqi did not blame Guo Ziyuan: "It's already difficult to make professors and doctoral supervisors remember you."

"However, something like this must not happen again."

The professors come and go, with associate professors and attending physicians under their command, and a bunch of doctoral candidates. When they need people, they can't even get a turn for Guo Ziyuan...

I barely know you exist, how could I possibly remember you?

What happened this morning was completely unexpected; it wasn't that Guo Ziyuan deliberately tried to be a "show-off."

If Guo Ziyuan had this idea, he could have mastered the timing even better.

"Master, I won't do that again." Guo Ziyuan felt no discomfort in front of Ding Xianqi.

Ding Xianqi still remembers what Guo Ziyuan said last Friday: "Secretly practicing the basics, are you really still thinking about pursuing a PhD?"

Guo Ziyuan nodded: "Yes! I want to read it."

Pursuing a PhD is really cost-effective.

Even if it weren't for finding a job, but simply for learning a skill, Guo Ziyuan knew exactly how to learn and what he would need after starting work.

"Now that I think about it, it's getting a bit late."

"The doctoral entrance exams start in January next year, and it's already September. Your cohort isn't very lucky..." Ding Xianqi shook his head and sighed.

The list of doctoral supervisors will only be released in October, and the application process for doctoral programs at the Provincial People's Hospital will begin in December.

Before the list of doctoral supervisors was released, Ding Xianqi, as the head of orthopedic teaching, knew that Professor Chen Zhiyuan did not have a doctoral quota this year.

"Why, Master?" Guo Ziyuan pretended not to know.

He only has a master's degree, and the only way he can find out about the list of doctoral supervisors and doctoral positions is through school announcements.

Memories from the rebirth cannot be brought into the present as known information.

The announcement will be made in October, and Ding Xianqi didn't hide it: "Professor Chen Zhiyuan does not have any doctoral supervisor positions this year."

"There's also a master's graduate from Ruijin Hospital. He's a local from Wuhan, and his home is near the train station. He contacted us in advance."

"He has a good foundation and has published more papers than Liang Yuanhui."

Guo Ziyuan already knew this, but he still deliberately clicked his tongue in surprise: "Oh, this?"

Liang Yuanhui is a student of Director An Luming and is in the same year as Guo Ziyuan. He is currently a second-year master's student and has three SCI papers, two in Q1 and one in Q2, all of which are research papers.

Moreover, the impact factors of their works are all above five.

Liu Chuntao, who was newly recruited to Hubei Provincial People's Hospital in 15, has not accumulated as many academic papers as Liang Yuanhui, who is currently pursuing a master's degree.

It can be said that Liang Yuanhui's papers are "supermodels" even at the master's and doctoral levels.

That guy at Ruijin Hospital actually has more research papers than Liang Yuanhui?!

Even so, Guo Ziyuan was still afraid that his teacher would give up on him, so he whispered a reminder: "Master, there is another way to pursue a doctorate, which does not have an assessment period."

Upon hearing this, Ding Xianqi frowned instantly, vertical lines appearing on his forehead: "You mean the special exam?"

"Are you aware of the difficulty and nature of the special entrance exam?"

Guo Ziyuan shook his head, but his gaze was sincere.

As Ding Xianqi dressed, his voice was low: "If we strictly adhere to the standards for special doctoral entrance exams, Zheng Jicong wouldn't even have a chance now!"

"I have to do it myself." Ding Xianqi's voice wasn't loud, and he didn't specify any particular standards.

Zheng Jicong is the attending physician in the group, and he is also an attending physician at the Provincial People's Hospital.

"The difficulty level of the regular assessment is 1, the difficulty level of the application assessment is at most 1.8, less than 2, and the difficulty level of the special assessment is 20, or even 30..."

Guo Ziyuan instantly understood why he had no memory of the special doctoral exam in his previous life.

This thing is too lofty, a luxury that is difficult for ordinary people to reach.

Its standard is based on Jiang Taigong fishing.

Better to have none than something of poor quality!

Ding Xianqi said, "You can understand it this way."

"This special assessment... is a standard set by the department to cultivate potential and qualified academic leaders."

"It's a 'talent introduction' policy that the department regularly sets up to recruit specially needed talents."

"In recent years, no one in our orthopedics department has been able to successfully navigate this path."

"The last one was Brother Long, who was only a year older than me..." Ding Xianqi said, then laughed at himself.

Ding Xianqi emphasized the situation in recent years.

People have walked this path in recent years.

Of course, Guo Ziyuan also knew that the teacher was Professor Long from the Department of Sports Medicine.

Years have passed, and Dr. Long, who was in sports medicine back then, is now only thirty-seven years old, and has already become a professor, chief physician, and doctoral supervisor...

Guo Ziyuan's mentor was already an associate professor and master's supervisor at the age of thirty-six, and was already a "genius" in the Department of Orthopedics at the Provincial People's Hospital.

But such geniuses are simply outmatched by such people.

The real world is incredibly harsh on ordinary people!

The real world is incredibly forgiving of true geniuses!

This special assessment exists year-round, can be taken at any time, and passing it guarantees admission. They may even sign a contract with you directly, and you can enjoy the same benefits as other staff members of the institute while pursuing a doctorate.

Just focus on being excellent!

Other benefits will be the responsibility of the department and the hospital.

This kind of "exceptional assessment" is not only found in the Department of Trauma Surgery, but also in Hubei Provincial People's Hospital, Wuhan University, Wuhan, Hubei Province, and China.

If you don't believe me, why don't you try winning a Nobel Prize or a Turing Award?

At that time, you will find that you are surrounded by good people and that everyone you meet is a benefactor.

"Do you still dare to dream of pursuing a doctorate?" Ding Xianqi turned to ask Guo Ziyuan.

Guo Ziyuan pursed his lips and swallowed: "Thinking about it, it's still possible."

Guo Ziyuan's heart was in turmoil—

In his previous life, Guo Ziyuan had participated in various national orthopedic conferences.

Therefore, Guo Ziyuan knew that the orthopedic annual meeting was a true battle of the gods.

There, Master Ding Xianqi was no match for him at all.

The gods from five years ago are fighting with the gods from ten, fifteen, and twenty years ago.

The gods of Kyoto and the gods of Shanghai are fighting, while the gods of the Northwest and the gods of the Northeast are arguing until their necks are red.

In that place, age is not a problem, and seniority is not a problem.

Once you meet the entry requirements, being bad at the game is the original sin. If you get scolded, you should quickly find a reason to explain if you have one, or you should quickly stand up straight, take the scolding, and apologize...

Moreover, Guo Ziyuan had also heard that many deities who flew around in China would slightly lower their divine status after going abroad, and would not be as eccentric as they were in China...

Even Professor Ding Xianqi in his previous life hadn't reached the threshold of becoming a deity; he was just a mortal.

In his previous life, Guo Ziyuan was merely a mayfly, so insignificant as to be reduced to dust.

This is the difference between geniuses and ordinary people; in reality, fairness is never an option...
