What does it mean to be a clinician?

A clinician is a clinician. So far, there are 24 types of clinicians in my country, all of which need to be certified by the National Practicing Physician or Assistant Practicing Physician Examination.

Generally refers to those who have direct contact with patients and provide diagnosis and treatment. Such as clinical departments (internal medicine, surgery, operating room), clinical nurses, clinicians, and clinical physicians. Non-clinical departments include radiology department, B-ultrasound room, electrocardiogram room, office, laboratory department, and accounting office. Non-clinical staff include fee collectors, medical guidance attendants, etc.

Another meaning: Clinical practice is aimed at prevention. People who are not sick need prevention, but those who are sick and lying in bed need treatment. Clinical is another way of saying medical. Therefore, clinicians are doctors in the hospital who have direct contact with patients and provide diagnosis and treatment.

Clinician-related certificates: Practicing Physician Qualification Certificate

The Practicing Physician Qualification Certificate is issued uniformly by the National Health and Family Planning Commission and is a must for practicing physicians in my country. The certificate you possess is a recognition of medical technology, proving that the holder has the technology and ability to independently engage in medical activities. The certificate is permanently valid. Those who are eligible to apply for the Practicing Physician Qualification Certificate Examination can obtain the qualification through the Practicing Physician Qualification Certificate Examination held regularly every year. This certificate is also the most important criterion for determining whether a doctor is qualified to practice medicine. A so-called "physician" who has not obtained a medical qualification certificate is engaged in "illegal medical practice."
