According to the Ministry of Health, resident doctors, majors I, and II are the quintessence of the medical industry, with qualifications equivalent to master's and doctoral degrees.
The Ministry of Education and Training affirmed that resident doctors and specialties are not included in the "structure of the national education system".
The prolonged debate between the two ministries attracted the attention of experts, many opinions said that there should be a scientific and practical solution, not a "near-mitting" between the two ministries.
In practice, doctors in specialties I and II are recognized as the quintessence of the medical industry.
However, it is impossible to ignore academic standards when recognizing a master's or doctorate degree. That is the principle of all modern education.
Therefore, it is necessary to build a standardized program, on the basis of respecting certified professional values in practice, while adding academic requirements to the national graduation system.
The doctor has a specialized degree, if he or she needs to be granted a master's or doctorate degree, he or she can continue to study additional subjects that are still lacking in the master's or doctoral training program according to regulations, ensuring the completion of requirements for thesis, thesis, thesis, scientific research, and international publications.
For those who are "talented and practical", this is not a burden but an opportunity to continue on the academic path, enhance professional prestige and contribute more to medical research.
Doctoral training to qualify for a master's or doctorate is for the purpose of improving scientific qualifications, building academic prestige for oneself and expanding research space for the medical industry.
Streamlining and standardizing doctors' degrees will end the long-standing debate. The standardization of doctors' postgraduate degrees is in line with international practices.
To do this, the Ministry of Health needs to propose a unified postgraduate training model, based on the national qualifications framework, instead of continuing to maintain the understanding that specialist doctors are just "practice certificates".
For those who are truly scientists, they will not consider the requirements for standardizing their degrees as barriers, but will recognize them as opportunities for career advancement, not only good at practice but also solid in academic knowledge.
When the postgraduate degree for doctors is standardized, the social community will be assured of the qualifications of doctors and nurses who take care of people's health.
Standardizing degrees to train talents and elite is not only the expectation of the medical industry but of the whole society.
