What's the difference between a medical practitioner and a health manager?

Now is the peak period for health managers to register for the exam, and many friends are already reviewing for the exam. So which is better, a medical practitioner or a health manager? Let's take a look ~

Bian Xiao can tell you for sure that both of them serve people's health, complement each other, and there is no difference! The differences between health managers and medical practitioners are as follows:

1, service object

Medical practitioners serve patients, and health managers serve everyone, including healthy people, sub-healthy people and sick people.

2. Service cycle

Generally speaking, medical practitioners are 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, and the service cycle is generally not long. Strictly speaking, a health manager should be responsible for the health management of a person's whole life cycle from cradle to grave, including the monitoring, analysis and evaluation of health and diseases, as well as health maintenance and health promotion. The short service period is one or two years, and most of them are long-term or lifelong services.

3. Professional skills

Practitioners need to have solid basic medical knowledge, extensive and professional clinical medical knowledge, and are very professional and skilled talents. Health managers focus on health management and need to master 80% management knowledge and skills and 20% basic medical professional knowledge. Health managers may not be familiar with the mechanism of diseases, but the basic knowledge should be comprehensive, including nutrition, exercise, psychology, environment, chronic diseases and so on.

4. Work center

Practitioners should be patient-centered and disease-centered. Health managers are people-oriented and focus on people's overall health.

5, business division of labor

Practitioners tell people how to get rid of the existing diseases, mainly the diseases themselves, and treat the "already sick". Health managers let people know how to avoid getting sick and eliminate the root causes of illness. Treating a disease before it happens will prevent people from getting sick, getting sick less or getting seriously ill.

6, the way of working

Practitioners mainly rely on drugs and surgery, and practitioners personally take measures to treat patients with diseases. Health managers mainly guide people to adjust their body and mind and prevent diseases by means of healthy life concept, healthy lifestyle, good mood, psychology and reasonable diet.

7. Working process

The doctor's job is the treatment process after illness, and the post-treatment method is mainly adopted. Health managers adopt pre-control measures for treatment, which is the process control before illness.

8. Research scope

Medical practitioners mainly study diseases and health managers mainly study health.

9, the nature of the certificate

The qualification certificate required by medical practitioners is an industry access certificate, and you need a medical professional foundation to take the exam. The certificate of health manager belongs to the rating certificate, and it can be taken without medical foundation.
