        At present the doctor shortage as a whole. 2011 (assistant) practicing doctors for 2.466 million people in China, (assistant) practicing doctors per thousand population was 1.82, compared with European and American developed countries, practicing doctors per thousand population count in China has bigger gap, and presents structural imbalances. At the same time, in recent 10 years, our country ordinary university medical professional enrollment expansion. In 1999, the average college medical professional enrollment hit 100000, 2010 by 530000. In ten years, number of medical graduates has reached more than 3 million. The People's Daily (March 15)

        In the overall population is more or less the domestic doctors? Seems it is not difficult to answer this question. According to the official: currently, the doctor shortage as a whole. So that medical colleges and universities continue to expand, to train more doctors, the problem is not solved? In the overall population, but on the other hand is a doctor on the other hand is a large number of medical graduates cannot find jobs, can only give up what they have learned many years of professional career. Visible, the problem is not so simple.

        For a long time, such as a large population, a meager this kind of situation has been seen by some officials, experts and used as feed demand to promote the reforms, improve the level of social security of the shield. But there, talking about this subject, the basic national conditions often consciously or unconsciously ignored by them, or even shut down altogether. You know, our country is a per capita GDP is only a few thousand dollars of developing countries, how can the doctors per one thousand people per capita GDP at tens of thousands of dollars in Europe and the United States developed countries for reference? What's more, the Europe and the United States developed countries each year in public spending on health care as a proportion of GDP are many times in our country, such as the United States in health care spending about 16% of GDP each year. Because these developed countries government has played a leading role in establishing universal health care system, its people's health needs are well met, medical market also is able to do bigger and stronger, the income level of medical staff, quantity as well as the overall professional quality natural followed a rising tide lifts all boats.

        In contrast, domestic, nearly 10 years, because of too many medical graduates to apply for a job, threshold of choose and employ persons is also more and more high, medical institutions above the municipal hospital basically no longer hire college graduates. Therefore, from the perspective of medical market, our country there is no shortage of doctors in the city, really lack of the doctor's is behind of the rural economic and social development, villages and towns. Although these places short of doctors, but no appeal for medical graduates. Because the villages and towns hospital widespread lack of equipment, medical level is not high, income is too low. These problems not solved for a long time, they not only can't attract the medical students, also do not leave the existing talented person, also is unable to meet the increasing health care needs of the local people. In this way, "surplus" of medical graduates can only be turned, there lack the overall.

        To fundamentally solve the doctor generally inadequate, and a large number of medical graduates cannot find jobs this anomaly, for medical colleges and universities blindly excessive expansion would be tantamount to climb a tree to look for fish, we go. Authorities should first fully realize our country's basic national conditions, not by developed country standards in pursuit of the number of doctors, but follow the law of development of medical market itself, on the one hand, increase investment in public health, and perfecting the medical security system, strengthen medical market; To according to the employment, on the other hand, strictly control the scale of the enrollment of medical colleges, ensure the quality of the cultivation of medical students, so that the number of domestic medical personnel with the demand of the market growth, its overall also can get professional quality enhances unceasingly.
