To be promoted to Attending Physician, once the required years of service are met, you just need to apply for the attending exam. After passing, you'll automatically be promoted to the attending title.
However, there is a quota for attendings, associate chief physicians, and chief physicians in the hospital.
Better hospitals may softly persuade some average resident doctors to leave.
Either honestly wait in line for an opportunity or resign and leave.
Except for the well-connected ones.
Some highly capable resident doctors manage to grab a formal position, and with this status, the hospital will surely give them preferential treatment.
Otherwise, if a doctor or nurse with a formal position decides to slack off, even the dean will have a headache.
There are plenty of ways for the leadership to deal with contract workers.
After being given a hard time a few times, they'll naturally leave.
The files of formally employed staff are not kept at the hospital. If they don't resign, who can fire them?
No one has that authority.
And if such a person doesn't care about their future and is determined to slack off, any leader facing them will have a headache.
Others might not dare to confront leadership, but these tough individuals aren't afraid to curse even the dean.
People are like that, anyway, if they've decided to slack off, if they don't want promotions or a future, what can you do?
Back then, Li Jingsheng's performance at the First Hospital was rather average.
In research, academics, and clinical practice, he was just so-so.
Yet, he thought he was pretty good and very capable. But seeing that the hospital didn't even want to give him an attending offer, and with other bothersome issues, he got angry and resigned to open a clinic.
Even though his abilities were average in all aspects, his self-esteem was quite strong.
Watching his classmates one by one being promoted to attending, advancing towards associate chief, how could he not be anxious?
In administration, some peers were already deputy section chiefs, section chiefs.
Those with family support, doing pharmaceutical business, earned three to four million a year, living in villas, driving luxury cars, and switching pretty girls every few days; whenever Li Jingsheng saw them on the road, he quickly avoided them.
Afraid of being recognized by them.
Why?
Because he's not doing well while they're so outstanding, it feels embarrassing!
Who likes watching classmates flaunt their superiority in front of them?
"As long as you agree to join our Orthopedic Surgery Department, I can promise to arrange for you to receive the attending physician offer before the end of the year. By the way, have you passed the attending exam?"
Director Hua made an offer that made Li Jingsheng breathe heavily and his heart race.
Being appointed as an attending physician at a hospital is the dream of many doctors!
Although the Second Hospital is weaker than the First Hospital, it's still a top-tier hospital.
It's far stronger than any regional secondary hospital.
"I passed the attending exam, but I couldn't get the hospital's offer."
