Mr. Tien asked, can he be promoted from General Practitioner Grade IV to Medical Doctor Grade III or be considered for changing his professional title from medical practitioner to doctor? What are the procedures and authority to consider changing professional titles?
Regarding this issue, the Ministry of Health responded as follows :
On May 27, 2015, the Ministry of Health coordinated with the Ministry of Home Affairs to issue Joint Circular No. 10/2015/TTLT-BYT-BNV regulating codes and standards for professional titles of doctors, preventive medicine doctors, and medical doctors, which stipulated three groups of professional titles of doctors, preventive medicine doctors, and medical doctors in the same Joint Circular but with the first 4 digits in the professional title codes being different due to different tasks, professional competence standards, and requirements for professional training levels (doctors and preventive medicine doctors have a training period of 6 years; intermediate-level medical doctors have a training period of 2 years).
The title of doctor, preventive medicine doctor does not have a grade IV professional title, however, according to the classification of professional titles, the title of physician is not a lower rank than the professional title of doctor, preventive medicine doctor.
Currently, physician is a medical professional title stipulated in the Law on Medical Examination and Treatment 2023, with the function of providing and implementing primary health care services within the scope of professional activities stipulated in Circular No. 32/2023/TT-BYT dated December 31, 2023 of the Minister of Health. In recent years, medical professionals holding the professional title of physician have effectively served the people's health care needs at the grassroots health care level.
Recently, in order to improve their professional qualifications and skills, medical professionals have been recruited with the professional title of Grade IV Physician, have attended school and have a medical degree, and have been granted a practice license with the scope of expertise of a doctor. These officials have met the standards, conditions, professional and technical capacity of the professional title of Grade III Physician and are suitable for the professional title of Physician and the scope of practice stipulated in the Law on Medical Examination and Treatment, meeting the training standards of the professional title of Grade III Physician to be promoted to the title of Grade III Physician if they meet other standards and conditions as prescribed.
For grade V and grade IV officials, promotion to the next professional title grade (grade IV and grade III) will be considered according to the provisions of Clause 2, Article 32 of Decree No. 115/2020/ND-CP (amended and supplemented in Clause 16, Article 1 of Decree No. 85/2023/ND-CP) if they meet the prescribed standards and conditions.
