In terms of quantity, more than 80 thousand doctors are recruited and more than 50 thousand doctors are graduated every year, which seems quite a lot. However, since 1978 resumed doctoral enrollment, the total number of doctoral degrees awarded nationwide is about 800,000. China has a population of more than 65.438+0.4 billion, and doctors account for 5.7% of the population. Doctors are still scarce, and the focus is on improving quality.
Generally speaking, the total number of doctors and the proportion of doctors in the total population in China are still at a low level. Although the gold content has dropped, it is enough to find a good job. However, if we take a long-term view, as the number of doctoral graduates increases year by year, the pressure of employment will continue to increase.
