1) service objects are different.
Doctors serve patients.
Health managers serve everyone, including healthy people, sub-healthy people and sick people.
2) The service cycle is different.
Doctors are generally only responsible for the examination, treatment and health care of patients when they come to the hospital, and should be limited to the process of seeking medical treatment and providing medical help. The service period is generally short.
Strictly speaking, the health manager should be responsible for the health management of a person's whole life cycle from cradle to grave, including the monitoring, analysis, evaluation, health maintenance and health promotion of health and diseases. The service period ranges from one or two years to long-term or life-long service.
3) There are differences in professional skills.
