On December 15, a survey report released by Alibaba Health Research Institute showed that more than 70% of grassroots doctors did not regret their original career choices.
This is called "Grassroots Doctors Internet Research Report", which is based on the network survey of grassroots doctors on Ali Health's "Medical Butterfly Valley Learning Together" public welfare learning platform. Most of the doctors on the platform come from county hospitals in remote areas, and their work is related to the improvement of the national "serious illness does not leave the county" system.
"When I first studied medicine, I was originally to help the villagers." Lin Jie, a grassroots doctor who was surveyed, said. The survey shows that the love for hometown ranks first among the reasons for staying in the hometown to practice. The two reasons for the second place are "close to home, convenient" and "higher income and dignity in the hometown".
Despite this, many grassroots doctors surveyed also admitted that the medical care in their areas still faces a series of shortcomings, of which the top four shortcomings are "talent", "management concept", "capital" and "hardware facilities".
At the regular press conference on the pilot construction of the county medical community held by the National Health Commission on November 30, it was also clear that "strengthening the construction of the county and rural talent team is the most critical".
The urgency of this is also confirmed in this survey. Among the grassroots doctors who participated in the survey, only 22.3% of the doctors believed that their professional skills were "enough to cope with daily work", and 77.7% of doctors believed that their professional skills were "barely able to cope with daily work" or "not enough to cope with daily work".
On the one hand, it is the desire to improve professional skills, and on the other hand, it is the lack of channels to improve professional capabilities. In the survey, "business training" is still considered by grassroots doctors to be the main way to improve professional skills on a daily basis, while nearly 70% of grassroots doctors believe that "lack of training opportunities" is the main dilemma they face in their work, followed by "poor treatment", "many patients, work pressure" and "less opportunity to rise".
Traditional business training is mostly offline, and this form of training is not easy for grassroots doctors, especially in remote areas. In the survey, grassroots doctors believe that the four major obstacles to participating in offline training are "long distance", "high cost", "new crown epidemic" and "delay in family affairs".
In the face of the above dilemma, the Internet is placed high hopes by more and more grassroots doctors, and some Internet companies are also moving in the opposite direction with them. For example, Alibaba Health Charity, Together with Alibaba Charity Foundation, County Hospital Presidents Alliance, Ling Feng Charity Foundation and other public welfare organizations, we have carried out grassroots doctor training public welfare projects, which is intended to help improve the practical clinical capabilities of county hospitals, thereby improving the health service level of the grass-roots people.
As of September 30, 2021, the above project has covered more than 5,000 grassroots doctors in 300 county hospitals, including Yushu Prefecture in Qinghai, Aba Prefecture in Sichuan, Weinan in Shaanxi, Lixian County in Gansu, and Julu in Hebei Province, with a cumulative learning time of 35,000 hours.
Among the grassroots doctors who accepted this survey, 96.72% of the doctors believe that internet training is helpful to improve their business capabilities.
The doctors surveyed expressed the hope that the existing Internet training can be helpful in "diagnosis and screening of specialized diseases", "effective assistance for patients with severe emergencies", and "standardized use of drugs for common diseases".
