There must be a difference. First of all, if we explain from the professional name, doctors, that is, what we call clinicians, are mainly to save lives and perform the duties of truthfully telling the illness, reasonably checking, reasonably prescribing drugs, correctly diagnosing and actively treating. Health manager is a professional who carries out detection, analysis, evaluation, health consultation, guidance and risk factor intervention on individuals and groups from two aspects of nutrition and psychology.
Then we can see that health managers are clinical technicians who manage the whole process from birth to death from the perspective of human health, while doctors are clinical technicians who take treatment as the main means from the perspective of disease. Although the goal is the same, doctors are only responsible for diseases, while health managers have relatively comprehensive and specific requirements for human health. Secondly, there are many differences between health managers and doctors if we compare them from concrete to various aspects:
First, the people they face are different: doctors mainly face patients and patients; Health managers face not only the sick people, but also the healthy people and sub-healthy people, that is, everyone.
Second, the starting point is different: doctors take disease as the center and cure patients as their own responsibility, while health managers take people as the foundation and promote human health as their own responsibility.
Third, the time of treatment is different: doctors only treat this disease cycle, that is, the period from onset to discharge in the general sense, while the service cycle of health managers is longer, even a person's life. The whole life cycle of health or disease from birth to death can be managed by health managers.
Fourth, the knowledge used is different: doctors use professional medical knowledge to treat and study diseases, while health managers pay attention to people's prevention of diseases and health measures. They use the knowledge of health and disease monitoring, analysis and evaluation, health maintenance and health promotion, and use management knowledge plus some medical knowledge to manage people's health.
5. Different intervention tools: doctors mainly rely on drugs and various auxiliary means to treat and check patients, while health managers focus on changing people's concepts and thoughts, including reasonable exercise, balanced diet and all-round changes in psychology, physiology and morality, in order to achieve a new concept of healthy life.
Sixth, the intervention time is different: doctors pay attention to the improvement and treatment of symptoms after illness, while health managers pay attention to the prevention and control before illness, that is, the idea of preventing diseases in traditional Chinese medicine.
Seven. There are different registration restrictions: the qualifications of medical practitioners are relatively strict, and they must have the corresponding medical professional qualifications recognized by the state and the corresponding working years before they can apply. However, due to the great demand for health managers in China, non-medical graduates are allowed to apply for health managers.
With the continuous development of China's economy, we can all feel that people's demand for health is urgent. However, with the further development of the health manager industry, the requirements for examination standards will be higher and higher, and the conditions for entering the examination will be relatively strict from specialty to age to examination review. With the increase of employees, the employment prospects and jobs of health managers will be less and less, so students who have not signed up should seize the time and seize the opportunity!
