How to get a job quit doctors. Doctor: how to pass an interview and get a job. What to pay special attention to when hiring a doctor

One can hardly argue with the fact that the profession of a doctor is one of the most necessary and noble, without which life modern society was at a much lower level. As Anton Pavlovich Chekhov said, the profession of a doctor is a feat. The work of doctors saves people from death, alleviates suffering, so specialists in this field should always be merciful, sensitive, kind. People always treat doctors with special respect, they are appreciated and loved. After all, in the hands of doctors is all the most precious: life and health.

The bar chart below shows the change in the level of the average salary of the doctor profession in Moscow for the year:

A doctor must have a higher medical education, he devotes his knowledge to the strengthening, preservation and treatment of diseases. In his practice, he deals with treatment (therapy), recognition (diagnosis) and prevention (prevention) of injuries and diseases. Medical skills and medical knowledge are improving year after year. Experts note that the work of a doctor is, rather, not a craft, but an art.

How to find a suitable vacancy for a doctor in Moscow in a short time

You will find the widest selection of jobs for doctors in Moscow today on the Internet. The online environment absorbs more and more areas of our lives, including employment. So, today there are a lot of Internet sites with many vacancies for a doctor in Moscow. On the one hand, this is good, because there is a wide range of job offers. On the other hand, due to the diversity electronic resources, the search can be significantly delayed. Thus, the seemingly quick search for cooperation proposals for a doctor on duty, an emergency doctor, a chiropractor, a homeopathic doctor can be significantly delayed. And a few hours is far from the limit. After all, you need to go to each of the employment sites, register, specify search criteria, and then review dozens of ads. And it doesn't necessarily have to be suitable ads.

When searching for a job on different resources, you will inevitably end up on the same ads and run into outdated job offers. Deprive yourself of unnecessary waste of nerves and time, use the services of the Trud website. Our job portal will search for a job all over the Russian Internet for you. Specify your requirements for vacancies, and we will find everything current offers on reliable sites specializing in employment topics. Do you want to work in private company or a state clinic, or maybe they decided to become a doctor at home - it doesn’t matter at all, because everyone will find suitable vacancies on our website.

There is currently no distribution. The responsibility for finding a job lies entirely with the applicant. Of course, on the one hand, this is good, because a specialist will not be forcibly sent to work in another region. On the other hand, due to the lack of a distribution mechanism, some simply cannot find a job.

How do I get a job at a public health facility?

Getting a job for someone who graduated from a medical school just yesterday is very difficult. It has always been so. Most commercial establishments require at least five years of work experience. Public institutions do not always have such stringent requirements. But this does not simplify the situation, since the number of rates is limited in public institutions. The head of the department cannot suddenly open a position for a new specialist. However, you can always turn to Internet resources or to the Health Committee, where there is information about vacancies in state institutions in the region. But in order for a newcomer to be invited for an interview and later on for a job, there must be some element of luck, because there are hundreds of graduates, the competition is serious.

What do you pay special attention to when hiring a doctor?

Almost always for experience. In my opinion, this is a completely fair requirement, because a graduate without experience is not fully prepared to receive patients on his own. It is unlikely that experienced specialists and clinic owners will deal with vocational training and take risks, and the young doctor has few “own” patients. There is a saying: “First we study, then we come to work, we forget everything and learn again.” Partly for medicine, this statement is also true.

By the time of graduation from the institute, the future doctor should receive some kind of training. I would advise beginner dentists to get a job as an assistant in a clinic after the third or fourth year, work for several years, prove themselves responsible specialist. And, perhaps, by the time of graduation, the clinic will allow you to start your own appointment.

How is the selection of candidates in a non-state medical institution?

In commercial institutions, it is absolutely reasonable to require work experience of at least five years. I, as a person who makes a decision on hiring a particular specialist for a job, is unlikely to consider a resume, much less invite a person without five years of experience for an interview.

When it comes to filling a vacancy in a commercial institution, the manager usually first turns to the recommendations of colleagues in the shop or the staff of his clinic. Then, young specialists who have worked as physician assistants in the clinic for several years are considered. Only after that But job search through websites is relevant only for job seekers with five to ten years of experience, or specialists who change the region. It will be difficult for graduates to find work there.

How do experienced doctors look for work?

Specialists with more than ten years of experience form a pool of patients, acquire authority in their field and in their region. If a specialist has worked for ten years in one city, then in order to get a job, he can independently negotiate with a particular clinic. For this category, job offers are received several times a year, even if they are not looking for additional work. And they do it directly, without job aggregators.

Is it easy to move from a public clinic to a private one?

The standards of work in public and private clinics are slightly different. But it is important to understand from which state and which private clinic to go. In state clinics, there is a reception of patients under the compulsory medical insurance policy and there is a self-supporting, that is, paid appointment. The latter is a state analogue of a private clinic, when the price, equipment, and standards correspond to those accepted in commercial institutions.

Suppose a doctor is accustomed to working without an assistant and seeing thirty patients a day in six-hour shifts, which is not uncommon in a government office. Naturally, this doctor does not have the opportunity to fully consult even 30% of patients. So he doesn't have the skill to communicate with patients. Also, in a state clinic, a free appointment does not provide for the use of many technologies. For example, a piezosurgical device for gentle tooth extraction. All this complicates the transition mechanism.

If I receive a resume from a specialist who worked in a state institution at a free appointment for compulsory medical insurance even for 10 years and suddenly decided to become a doctor in a commercial clinic, I am unlikely to consider this candidate in the first place. In this matter, not just experience is needed, but experience according to certain standards: work experience, recommendations, reputation of the clinic where he previously worked, the specifics of work, and much more.

Are they moving from private clinics to public ones?

Such cases happen. Most often, doctors from a private clinic go to senior positions in state institutions. However, this transition is not always easy for the doctor and is accompanied by psychological stress, since the complexity of the work of the clumsy bureaucratic machine in state institutions and some of the differing patterns of behavior of staff contradict management model in a private clinic.

Moving to a non-management position is the exception rather than the rule. But such cases are known. When I, as a head, participated in the opening of the Department of Surgical Dentistry at the Dentistry Research Institute, I needed specialists from commercial clinics. They agreed to go to work with me only because of the good attitude towards me personally.

How to get a job in foreign clinics?

Unfortunately, the Russian diploma is not recognized by European countries and is not equated to anything. A doctor with a Russian diploma, postgraduate education, who defended a dissertation, performing the most complex operations and even if he works as a professor, in Europe he will not even have the right to brush his patients' teeth!

Confirmation mechanism professional qualifications dentist in different European countries is different. You may be allowed to take external exams in the language of the host country. Often you need to take courses in a specific shortened program, but often you need to get an education from scratch.

The only way to find a job abroad is a job offer. However, do not think that the job offer will make you a specialist with a European diploma. There is a significant gap in the requirements for specialists in Russia and for specialists in Switzerland, where wage a mid-level dentist is about eight million rubles a month. This state of affairs attracts dentists, for example, from Italy to start a practice in Ticino (Swiss canton on the border with Italy). To count on a similar income in St. Petersburg, you need to be not only a dentist, but also the owner of several clinics.

Anton Gerasimov – dentist-surgeon, implantologist, candidate of medical sciences. For more than 10 years he has been specializing in implantology, sinus lifting and bone grafting, working with any implantation systems. In addition to internship, residency and postgraduate studies at St. Petersburg State Medical University. acad. I. P. Pavlova received the specialty "Management in health care" in high school management of St. Petersburg State University. On the this moment works in several dental clinics Petersburg, teaches at the Department of Surgical Dentistry and Maxillofacial Surgery, St. Petersburg State Medical University. acad. I. P. Pavlova, develops training courses, annually trains more than 100 dentists. He completed practical training in more than ten European clinics. Active Member European Association of Cranial and Maxillofacial Surgery.

The profession of a doctor is stable in number. At the same time, it is both useful in the highest sense of the word, and interesting in its own way, and promising in terms of earnings. In a market economy, a highly qualified doctor can easily get a job in a private clinic, where he will be provided with all the conditions for comfortable work.

Sounds tempting, right? Don't be fooled. Not everyone can become a successful doctor.

Is it your calling to heal people?

Most often, children who have good grades in chemistry and biology at school go to study as a doctor. The ability to these disciplines really matter for the future physician. However, they are not the end of the matter.

Certain personal qualities must be attached to them:

• love for people;
• the ability to communicate easily, simply explain complex things;
• lack of disgust;
• psychological stability.

The last point is of particular importance. Seeing suffering all the time is scary. To inflict pain (albeit in the name of salvation) is difficult. Virtually every physician at some point in their career suffers from burnout symptoms.

Psychological stability is also important due to the fact that every doctor has a colossal responsibility: the slightest mistake in diagnosis can lead to the death of a person.

The doctor himself must certainly be in good health. His work involves constant tension, and this, in turn, contributes to rapid overwork. The work of doctors who work irregular hours or in shifts is especially difficult.

The modern doctor needs to be inquisitive. Medicine does not stand still; every year, some discoveries are made - albeit local ones, but fundamentally significant for a practicing specialist.

Features of obtaining the profession of a doctor

It takes a very long time to study for a doctor - six compulsory years plus at least two more years of internship, practice and residency.

At first future specialist comprehends theoretical basis professions - biology, histology, chemistry, Latin, physiology and anatomy. Learning isn't always fun. Sometimes you have to grind painfully. The doctor must know not only the location of all bones and muscles, but also all the dimples, protrusions, bumps on the bones and muscles.

In the second year, the practical part begins - students work in clinics as junior medical staff (care for bedridden patients, take out ducks, and are on duty). Practice takes a lot of time and effort.

From the third year, the actual clinical disciplines are studied, in accordance with any of them, one can choose a residency. At this time, most students, on their own initiative, work part-time on an ambulance or in a hospital.

Even when a doctor begins to see patients, he has to undergo refresher courses from time to time.

Where can a doctor work?

Either in a public hospital or a commercial clinic. See specific ads for current vacancies by specialization.

How can a doctor find a job in Moscow or other cities

(a new draft chapter from a new book, it will still be supplemented - supplemented right now - and literary edited)

The medical world is small

You can get a job as a doctor by chance and without dating, but this path cannot be called guaranteed and we consider this approach to be unsystematic. Nevertheless, most often doctors are hired by acquaintance. It's not bad. It just needs to be understood

The medical world is small - this must be repeated

As a rule, even if you come to work to get a job without meeting you, you still have common acquaintances or with a new director-employer, with the head doctor or with one of your colleagues - there will be common acquaintances

Therefore, your reputation among your acquaintances is extremely important.

If everyone knows that you abuse alcohol, that you are not good at operating, that there are many complications, if you are a surgeon ... what if you, if a therapist, then you prescribe only nifedipine and nitroglycerin to everyone, but in reality you don’t read ECGs very well, then if someone from your acquaintances even has a vacancy in the clinic, your acquaintances will not tell their boss about you. Why be embarrassed?

If your acquaintances know that you studied well at the institute, you know your specialty, you are working on a dissertation ... or if you have already defended your Ph.D. and are thinking about a doctoral thesis. If they know that you go abroad to study, worked with a professor in such and such a head institution, know how to perform such and such a type of plastic surgery, you have written a monograph on the treatment of such and such a disease ... well, not a monograph, so the articles are written in professional magazines...

Then most of your acquaintances will strive to introduce you to their main one, they say: “Look, boss, what an Eagle I am friends with! We are at the same desk with him ... "

You can also get a job without first meeting a doctor. But it will be more reliable to do this if even if you don’t have any acquaintances in this clinic, but ... you yourself came here for some time, got to know each other, asked about the duty, chief physician you mean ... you periodically come in, met with colleagues. And you yourself have become familiar here

Youth and clinical residents - this time, internship and residency, must be used to establish contacts in clinics and to make acquaintances. An active interested intern or resident from another clinic will usually be allowed to hold the hooks without any problems ... their own are lazy. And so you and your colleagues from another clinic stood in the operating room several times, they already gave you a wound to take in, after the operation you help to write down in the operating log while the senior doctor smokes or drinks tea - and now you are already “your” person. The acquaintance who asks for you may not be there, but you yourself are already known. And vacancies appear periodically. And sometime somewhere you will definitely need your own person ... they can, of course, let down a thieves from above, recommend obsessively, but they can also invite you a hardworking one, until just the bosses imposed their loafer

This is more about employment in a public clinic. In Moscow, for example, where it is not easy to get a job as a doctor in a decent clinic. However, even when applying for a job in a commercial clinic, as a rule, the administration of the institution will try to find common acquaintances and in the meantime will ask about you

Sometimes it happens that in some district hospitals There may not be enough doctors. If there are not enough anesthesiologists there for several years, for example, then they will hire you without meeting you, and sometimes even drinking. Better one than none. What if they get fired

But if your profession is not in short supply?

If suddenly you come to a new city for yourself, and you don’t have any acquaintances here and you need to get a job as a doctor, then the easiest thing is to just stupidly come to the clinic, to different clinics, find someone talkative from your colleagues (you can even from nurses for beginning) and just talk what's what. Who what and for what. Who makes the decision, who manages the processes. Suddenly, with one of the influential personalities, you will have common acquaintances outside of medicine. And they will ask for you

If you are a young doctor, then in most clinics you can find at least one, or even many, classmates who studied at your own university. Even if in other years (+/- 2-3-4 years), that is, common acquaintances, there were common teachers, and such "compatriots" at the university also often help colleagues. Because everyone believes that “our university teaches well, even if this gouging is still better than completely strangers.” This paragraph, by the way, contains a hint not only for young doctors, but also for students of medical universities. Look around while studying. People with whom you don’t really greet now when you meet in the hallways of hostels - tomorrow they can become your colleague or even your leader. Or conductor

While writing this book, Oleg Bely broke his leg. The laptop fell on my leg. Joke. Not right at the time of writing, but in between writing sessions. So. He was treated in traumatology. A compatriot friend, a traumatologist from another clinic, a candidate of medical sciences, came to visit. He is on duty elsewhere and works part-time at a pharmaceutical company. He came to visit a comrade. I say, let's go see the post-op pictures. He refuses under the pretext that the attending physician should not be strained, so that he does not think that he is being checked once again. But the attending physician is also “his own”. In short, their meeting almost took place

Why "almost"? My visitor friend left, the next morning the attending physician comes and says that he saw our college classmate come to me. Like, the attending physician remembers him as an athlete at the institute, and asks what he does. I say that he is also a traumatologist. And it turned out that in the clinic where I was treated, at the current moment in time, a traumatologist on duty with a certificate is needed. The meeting of friends took place again, this time aiming, not in the corridor, but in the office, in the staff room. My attending physician introduced the visitor to his head, he took him to the deputy head physician for surgery, the latter to the head physician ...

… so my tibial fracture had the side effect of having a trauma friend find a job, and a trauma doctor friend who is a primary care physician found a colleague. Knowing that the duty officer is generally a decent guy who studied at the institute, albeit not perfectly, but it’s good that the guy without bad habits and won't let you down

Does it happen that you have to pay some money and give bribes to get a job as a doctor? It probably happens. But we firmly know that it is possible without it

What do you need to get a job as a doctor? Usually, for proper employment, a doctor needs the following components of success:

• Professionalism. It is necessary that people understand that you have at least some minimum of professional skills. And if they are ready to learn what else is needed. An ideal story - if you do not have a minimum of medical skills in your specialty, but a real expert in the subject
• A good help is that you have the appropriate certificates. For example, in the case of traumatologists described above, this played an important role. When I brought my two friends together - the first question was whether he was a normal guy or not, the second question was “Is there a valid certificate?”, That is, the formal side must be observed as well
• Decency. This is "normal guy or not?" from the previous paragraph. Can patients be trusted with him? Can he be trusted to work in terms of political issues? Will he remember who helped him? It's not really the money or the idler that's needed. You just don't need to do tricks...
• People can vouch and you will be recommended. This is a consequence of the previous point. You have a good opinion among those people who can approach the leadership. And the clinic management has a good opinion of the people who recommend you. Our last recommender, a trauma surgeon in a team of 11 doctors, remains acting. manager during the last vacation
• Activity. If you don't go and ask, they won't call you. If I had not asked for the duty officer myself, employment would have hardly happened. A week after our conversation, three more outside visiting doctors began to apply for the same position. But the place is already taken

Although the last thesis is not completely true, but only 95%. Leave 5% for luck. But on the whole, this is how it is. While you are young and do not have a name in the medical environment - at this time you are tense and actively looking for a job. And it is right. But once time passes, and if you don’t sit like a gray mouse in your staff room, but show yourself actively, do science, show yourself as an organizer, then the time comes when you are already offered a job, new positions, etc. Now your name is!

When you are called to work - sometimes it is called head hunting. Headhunting. In the pharmaceutical business, this is quite common among top management. Sensible TOPs capable of showing business results are hunted. They are being hunted. And future employers pay bounty hunters money

While you are young - it seems that all this is somewhere far away, this does not concern you, and in general all this is not true. But in reality, if you just do your job efficiently and demonstrate your organizational skills, you will be invited to new positions. You will be invited to positions in your institution. You will be invited to director and deputy director positions in other clinics. Well, either for the chief physician, for the deputy chief physician, or simply for the head of the department

From the position of youthful maximalism, it seems that everything is bought and all positions are sold. Directly or indirectly. But look at the situation from the position of the head of the institution?! There aren't many people you can trust with anything. It’s no secret to trust where the boss has his money, but to trust the business, to entrust the management of a team, a complex medical team, as a rule, with the presence of star doctors, some have star disease justified, some don’t ... and it doesn’t matter. In any case, medical star disease must be treated. In most cases, mild symptomatic career therapy is required. But it is also important to make sure that a well-coordinated team does not fall apart, does not run away.

The authors interviewed hundreds of physicians with successful and unsuccessful careers. In most cases of medical employment, the above rules and recommendations will work. Let's use our examples to illustrate.

Igor Vagin worked as an ambulance doctor. He was a PhD. He showed himself as an active young man who loves his work. And it was obvious that he could be trusted with the job. He knew how to be efficient when necessary, and knew how to get along with people. And he was called to the Ministry of Health of the USSR. When the USSR was falling apart, the Ministry of Health of the USSR was disbanded - it was not at all difficult to ask for another ministry with that reputation. And there was even a choice - to go to the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation or to the Ministry of Science ... and there was someone to put in a word

In the mid-nineties, Vagin was offered to head a psychiatric clinic. Igor refused. At that time, there were no state salaries, and the co-author of this book had already established a teaching business, had already opened his own international training center, where at least one and a half to two thousand people studied a year. Realizing that it would not work to combine, he refused

At the beginning of the 2000s, Igor Vagin was offered the chief doctorate in a sanatorium near Moscow with 250 beds. He refused, but the fact that the offer was

Oleg Bely, being a residency in oncology in Obninsk, Kaluga region, went to the operating room to look at new operations for himself and often washed himself with surgeons, helped in the oncology clinic in Moscow. In this clinic, Oleg's college classmate worked as a doctor. First I went to the operating room with him. Then with his manager. Then, with the operating chief doctor, I stood a couple of times for half a day at the operating table. To get from Obninsk to their clinic by the beginning of the operating day, I left by the first train at 5.20. But on the other hand, he acquired not only potentially useful contacts, but also surgical skills.

In general, Oleg then did not realize the role of acquaintances and connections. And he went purely to see those operations that were either not performed in his clinic or were rare. That is, the priority motivation was professional medical growth

However, when a medical vacancy appeared in this clinic a couple of years later, the head doctor asked a classmate Oleg Bely, they say, where is your boyfriend, let him come, we’ll talk, maybe we’ll fit each other ... but my classmate then did not find Bely, since Oleg from a pharmaceutical company was on a business trip abroad

Two weeks later, I only found out that I could get a job. In general, if O. Bely, even then, two weeks later, would have approached the head doctor, they could have come up with something. A classmate said that his head physician would not just call him that. In general, it was possible to get a job. But Bely did not go, he was already arranged

In 2001, Oleg Bely completed his residency in oncology. One of the patients treated in the department where the residency was, the wife was an employee of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. Oleg was not the attending physician of this patient. But in the same ward where the patient was lying, Bely led the patients. An employee of the Ministry of Health noticed a conscientious boy. And she invited him to work in her department

But Oleg also refused at that time, romanticizing the specialty of a surgeon-oncologist ... they say, why is there in the ministry to go for the chiefs to carry briefcases and shift papers. Did not go. But the offer was

We write this simply in the book so that you understand, doctors, that even if you do not show excessive zeal, but simply work in good faith, then you will be offered new positions and new job. And if you yourself will still be active, then ... at least every six months change your job

So, be professional, take care of your reputation, make contacts and collect contacts of people who can ask for you. And be active
