Certification requirements for category 1 for a gynecologist. How does a doctor of the highest category differ from other doctors? What should a dentist's report look like for a category?

On August 4, 2013, Order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation dated April 23, 2013 No. 240n “On the procedure and timing of passing medical workers and pharmaceutical workers for certification to obtain a qualification category" (hereinafter referred to as the Procedure). In this regard, Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation dated July 25, 2011 No. 808n “On the procedure for obtaining qualification categories by medical and pharmaceutical workers” has become invalid. Today we will tell you what has changed in the certification procedure for medical and pharmaceutical workers, and compare the previous and current procedures .

General provisions

As before, certification of specialists is carried out for positions provided for by the current nomenclature of positions for medical and pharmaceutical workers, in three qualification categories (second, first and highest) once every five years. At the same time, the qualification category assigned to the employee is also valid for five years from the date of publication of the relevant administrative act. Specialists can apply for assignment to a higher qualification category before the expiration of the specified period, but not earlier than three years from the date of assignment of the qualification category.

The work experience requirements for obtaining qualification categories have been adjusted. Work experience in a specialty now does not depend on the education received by the employee. Thus, to obtain the second qualification category, at least three years of work experience in the specialty (in a position) is required, to obtain the first category - at least five years of experience, and of the highest category - at least seven years of experience.

For comparison, let’s say: previously, in order to receive the highest qualification category, it was necessary to have at least 10 years of experience for specialists with higher professional education and at least seven years of experience for specialists with secondary vocational education.

In addition to experience, the Procedure establishes requirements for theoretical knowledge and practical skills of specialists. In particular, based on p. 8 of the Procedure, a specialist applying for the second qualification category must:

• have theoretical training and practical skills in the field of their professional activities;
• navigate modern scientific and technical information, have the skills to analyze quantitative and qualitative performance indicators, and prepare a report on the work.

• have theoretical training and practical skills in the field of their professional activities and related disciplines;
• use modern methods diagnostics, prevention, treatment, rehabilitation and own diagnostic and treatment equipment in the field of their professional activities;
• be able to competently analyze professional performance indicators and navigate modern scientific and technical information;
• participate in solving tactical issues of organizing professional activities.

To receive the highest qualification category, based on clause 10 of the Procedure, a specialist must:

• have high theoretical training and practical skills in the field of their professional activities, know related disciplines;
• use modern methods of diagnosis, prevention, treatment, rehabilitation and own diagnostic and treatment equipment in the field of their professional activities;
• be able to competently evaluate data from special research methods in order to establish a diagnosis;
• navigate modern scientific and technical information and use it to solve tactical and strategic issues of professional activity.

Formation of certification commissions

The certification commission consists of a coordinating committee (hereinafter referred to as the committee), which carries out the functions of organizing activities certification commission and expert groups by specialty (hereinafter referred to as expert groups), which review documents and conduct a qualification exam.

The certification commission includes:

• leading specialists of organizations engaged in medical and pharmaceutical activities;
• representatives of medical professional non-profit organizations, employers;
• representatives of the body state power or organizations forming the certification commission, and other persons.

General management of the activities of the certification commission is carried out by the chairman of the commission, who is also the chairman of the committee. The deputy chairman of the certification commission is recognized as the deputy chairman of the committee and acts as the chairman of the certification commission in his absence.

There remains the position of the executive secretary of the commission, who registers and reviews documents received by the certification commission of specialists who have expressed a desire to undergo certification to obtain a qualification category, for compliance with their requirements for the list and execution of documents, generates materials for sending to expert groups, and prepares materials for meetings and draft committee decisions.

The expert group also has a chairman, deputy chairman and executive secretary.

Let us note that the Procedure defines in sufficient detail the functions of both the committee and the expert groups. For example, the committee coordinates the work of expert groups, determines methods, methods and technologies for assessing the qualifications of specialists, prepares and submits for approval to the body that created the certification commission a draft administrative act on assigning qualification categories to specialists. Expert groups, in turn, review documents submitted by specialists, prepare conclusions on reports, conduct knowledge tests and interviews, and make decisions on assigning qualification categories to specialists.

Based on clause 18 of the Procedure, meetings of the committee are held, if necessary, by decision of its chairman, and meetings of expert groups - at least once a month. A meeting of a committee or expert group is considered valid if more than half of the members of the committee or expert group, respectively, are present.

Decisions of the committee and expert group are made by open voting by a simple majority of votes of the members present at the meeting. In case of equality of votes, the vote of the chairman of the meeting of the committee or expert group is decisive ( clause 19 of the Order). Let us note that in the previously applied certification procedure, the presence of at least 2/3 of the commission members was necessary to make a decision, and in the event of a tie vote, the decision was considered made in favor of the specialist.

Decisions of the committee and expert group are documented in protocols, which are signed by all members of the committee and expert group present at the meeting of the committee and expert group, respectively.

Procedure for certification

Please note

In the previously existing procedure for obtaining qualification categories, it was established that the head of a medical or pharmaceutical organization must create conditions for specialists to obtain qualification categories when interacting with the commission, submitting documentation and notifying the specialist. Now there are no such assistance responsibilities.

An innovation in terms of document submission is the need to submit a duly certified translation into Russian of documents issued in the territory foreign country and written in a foreign language.

Also new is the ban on participation in sending documents official organizations authorized to carry out interaction between the organization in which the specialist carries out professional activities and the certification commission. The procedure establishes that only the specialist himself can send documents by mail or submit them in person. In addition, the requirement to bind documents has been eliminated.

Documents must be sent to the government body or organization that created the certification commission by mail or presented in person by a specialist no later than four months before the expiration of the existing qualification category. In case of violation given period the qualifying examination may be held later than the expiration date of the existing qualification category.

FYI

Clause 16 of the Procedure establishes that certification can be carried out using telecommunication technologies (remote certification) and in the form of an on-site meeting.

The rules and deadlines for certification have been adjusted. In particular, on the basis of clause 22 of the Procedure, documents received by the certification commission are registered by the executive secretary of the committee on the day they are received by the certification commission. Within seven calendar days from the date of registration of documents, they are submitted for consideration to the chairman of the committee (previously, documentation was registered after a seven-day check of its compliance with the completeness requirements).

If the documents required by the Procedure are missing or they are incorrectly executed, the executive secretary of the committee must send the specialist a letter of refusal to accept documents explaining the reason for the refusal, also within seven days (previously this period was 14 calendar days). In this case, the specialist can send the documents again. At the same time, he was previously given a month to correct the shortcomings, but now such a period is not set at all.

The chairman of the committee, no later than 14 calendar days from the date of registration of documents, determines the composition of the expert group for certification and sends the specialist’s documents to its chairman (clause 23 of the Procedure). In this case, the expert group must review them no later than 30 calendar days from the date of registration of documents, approve the conclusion on the report and set the date and place for the knowledge test and interview (previously, the period for reviewing documents was 14 calendar days).

Please note that the requirements for the content of the conclusion to the report have changed. In particular, based on clause 24 of the Procedure, it is no longer necessary to take into account:

• duration and timing of the last advanced training;
• forms of self-education used by a specialist;
• volume compliance theoretical knowledge, actual diagnostic and therapeutic practical skills and qualification requirements.

Test knowledge control and interviews are carried out no later than 70 calendar days from the date of registration of documents.

Based on clause 27 of the Procedure, based on the results of the qualification exam, the expert group can make one of two decisions: to assign or refuse to assign a qualification category to a specialist. Let us recall that previously there were several types of decisions made by the expert group. For example, it was possible to increase the second qualification category by assigning the first, confirm a previously assigned qualification category, remove the first (highest) qualification category and assign a lower category, or deprive a specialist of a qualification category.

The decision to assign or refuse to assign a qualification category to a specialist is made by the expert group no later than 70 calendar days from the date of registration of documents, documented in the minutes of the meeting of the expert group and entered into the specialist’s certification sheet by the executive secretary of the expert group. If a specialist is refused to assign a qualification category to a specialist, the protocol shall indicate the grounds on which the expert group made the appropriate decision. A decision to refuse to assign a qualification category to a specialist can be made on the following grounds:

• the presence in the conclusion of the report of a negative assessment of the theoretical knowledge or practical skills of the specialist necessary to obtain the qualification category declared by him;
• the presence of an unsatisfactory assessment based on the results of the knowledge control test;
• failure of a specialist to attend a knowledge test or interview.

Please note

An administrative act on assigning a qualification category to a specialist must be issued by the government body or organization that created the certification commission no later than 110 calendar days from the date of registration of the documents. Previously, the order to assign a qualification category to a specialist was issued within a month from the moment the commission made the decision.

The specialist must receive, by post or in person, an extract from the administrative act on the assignment of a qualification category no later than 120 calendar days from the date of registration of the documents.

Please note that the Order has increased the period for appealing the decision of the certification commission from 30 days to a year. The period for appeal is counted from the date the certification commission makes the decision.

As we can see, the procedure for certification of medical and pharmaceutical workers has undergone significant changes in terms of the timing of certification, the procedure for processing documents and certification results. Moreover, unclear points remain. In particular, it was previously stipulated that the specialist, within a week from the date of issuance of the order to assign him a qualification, would be drawn up and issued a corresponding document. Now the specialist is given only an extract from the order assigning him a qualification category, and not a word is said about the document. We believe that these points will be clarified by the competent authorities during the implementation of the Procedure.

Nomenclature of specialties of specialists with higher and postgraduate medical and pharmaceutical education in the field of healthcare Russian Federation, approved By order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation dated April 23, 2009 No. 210n.

Various categories assign specialists who have the proper level of theoretical training and sufficient skills in practical activities and a certain length of service. Let us consider in this article how the assignment of medical categories is carried out.

Doctors are to a certain extent interested in obtaining qualifications. The higher the category of a specialist, the more prestigious his work will be. Thanks to his professional qualifications, it will be easier for him to get a position in a health care facility. The material side also plays a significant role. A good salary increase is guaranteed to a qualified specialist.

What are the categories?

Depending on the doctor’s skills, the following medical categories are distinguished:

• second - at least 3 years of experience for specialists who have higher and secondary vocational education;
• first - at least 7 years of experience for specialists who have higher professional education and at least 5 years of experience for specialists with secondary vocational education (secondary vocational education);
• higher - no less than 10 years for specialists with higher professional education and no less than 7 years for specialists with secondary vocational education.

Conditions that a leader must create

The head of the organization provides conditions for the specialist, namely:

The importance of paperwork

The documents included in the package for obtaining a medical category must be properly executed and sealed.

Papers for passing the competition are sent to the commission by mail, as well as directly by an official who has undertaken to interact with the certification commission.

To maintain a previously assigned qualification category, a specialist submits papers to the certification commission no later than 4 months before the expiration of the qualification period. If a set of documents is sent later than the above period, the exam date may be set after the expiration of the qualification category.

Receiving a category and additional payment for it may be an initiative of the medical worker, as well as his supervisor. As a rule, the discharge is valid for several years. After this, a person who holds the position of a doctor in a health care institution must re-certify. When resubmitting documents, a citizen can expect to be assigned a higher category.

Allowances

Additional fees for the category are assessed after passing the doctor's certification. The commission includes an authorized representative of government bodies that regulate the receipt of medical services by the population. Certification refers to the assessment of the employee’s skills and knowledge, which must be necessary in order to provide professional assistance to victims in different situations.

If a specialist in the field of medicine successfully passes certification, the commission makes a decision to assign the applicant the required medical category. The above information is published on the official departmental website, after which the specialist has the right to contact the employer to establish a salary increase. The head of the medical organization must set a bonus for the certified employee for the category received. This type monetary additional payment should be negotiated in advance, before concluding a labor or collective agreement. If this clause is missing from the agreement, then HR officers and lawyers must draw up an addition to the agreement.

It must be remembered that a citizen cannot receive the highest qualification category if he has never been certified before. There are also time frames when a health worker has the right to apply for certification. A person is not deprived of his rank even if there is a break in work, that is, a failure to provide medical services to the population for a long time.

What liability is provided for the refusal of a co-payment to a doctor for a category?

Is it true that medical categories are going to be abolished? More on this below.

Each manager is required to pay category allowances to doctors. In case of obvious refusal, it is applied administrative penalties. Often these can include monetary fines and compensation for material damage to the employee. If the head of the organization flatly refuses to make the necessary changes, state inspection bodies raise the question of removing such a leader from his post.

Extra points

The specialist is awarded points for certain achievements:

• published textbooks, manuals, monographs;
• published articles;
• obtaining a patent for an invention;
• participation in the symposium;
• speaking in the media;
• obtaining a title;
• successful dissertation defense.

Purpose of the commission

The main goal of the certification commission of doctors in Russia is to assess the professional skills of a specialist and his ability to perform official duties in the position held. All this helps to place personnel with great efficiency, taking into account the level of complexity of the work, relying on the skill and experience of doctors. The consequence is the improvement of the activities of healthcare institutions and the provision of medical services to the population.

The composition of the committee and expert group is as follows:

Basic Requirements

Basic requirements for specialists of the second and first categories:

Highest qualification category

• must have highly trained in terms of theory and practical skills in the field of professional activity, knowledge of interrelated disciplines;
• use the latest methods of diagnosis, health improvement, disease prevention and rehabilitation, possess health-improving and diagnostic equipment in the field of practiced professional activity - while the requirements for the highest medical category are much more serious than in previous cases;
• the ability to give a high-quality and qualified assessment of data from special research methods in order to correctly determine the diagnosis;
• the ability to navigate modern scientific and technical information, apply it to resolve strategic and tactical aspects of specialized activities;
• have a duration of work in the profession (in a position) of at least 7 years.

How often do I need to undergo certification?

Certification of medical workers is carried out once every 5 years. The category that is assigned is valid on the territory of our country from the day when the order for its receipt is issued. Specialists have the right to strive to obtain a higher category of qualification, but only 3 years after the issuance of an administrative act on assignment. Allowances for medical categories are paid throughout the validity period.

During retraining, the duration of work in the newly acquired specialization begins to count from the moment the work begins in the new category. Federal authorities executive branch create central commissions to certify doctors. Within departments they are created by the executive branch ( federal authorities), Russian academies of sciences and organizations that have subordinate pharmaceutical and medical organizations. The executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation create territorial certification commissions.

Conditions for refusal to accept documents by the commission

Documents may not be accepted in the following cases:

• if there are no necessary papers that are needed for the certification commission to analyze the issue of awarding a specialist with a qualification category;
• the application or certification sheet of the specialist has been completed incorrectly.

The secretary of the committee, which is responsible for conducting the commission, sends the subject a refusal letter within 7 calendar days after registration of documents with a mandatory explanation of the reason for the refusal. As soon as these grounds are eliminated, the specialist has the right to send documents for certification of the medical category again.

No cancellation information at this time medical categories No.

In 2011, the requirements for obtaining qualification categories changed. The new standards were approved by the order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia dated July 25, 2011 “On the procedure for obtaining qualification categories by medical and pharmaceutical workers.”

Obtaining qualification categories by specialists is carried out on the basis of checking the conformity of professional knowledge and their professional skills in the form of a qualification exam, which is accepted by the certification commission.

A doctor who treats teeth has not only a specialization (generalist, surgeon, orthodontist, etc.), but also a category. How are they different from each other? categories of dentists, What category does a dentist’s career begin with, and how can it be improved?

Categories of dentists and requirements for obtaining them

For all doctors, including dentists, promotion is a natural part of professional growth. However, first of all, you need to become a dentist, and getting this profession is not so easy. First, yesterday's schoolboy must enter the medical school, and then spend several years mastering the educational program in order to successfully complete it. Medical education is rightfully considered one of the most difficult: to obtain a medical diploma you will need to work long and hard. Meanwhile, the dentist profession is quite popular. This is not only a very interesting specialty, but also one of the highest paid.

So, a dentist's career begins with appropriate education. During their studies at the university, students choose a specialization within which in the future they will be able to increase their category: therapist, orthodontist, periodontist, etc.

Graduation from university is followed by a new stage – internship. Only after finishing it can the dentist begin work. During practice, the doctor will gain professional experience and improve his qualifications. And in order to determine the level of qualification of a doctor and designate it, categories of dentists are assigned.

Like other doctors, dentists can improve their qualifications. The list of requirements corresponding to each category of dentists, as well as the procedure for their assignment, is established by law.

Each profession has its own categories, the number of which can reach six. As for the dental profession, there are only three categories: first, second and highest. The rules for obtaining them are set out in Federal laws and orders of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation.

To obtain a higher qualification category, a doctor or pharmacist must be certified. The procedure and timing for medical workers and pharmaceutical workers to undergo certification to obtain a qualification category have been approved

Clause 5 of the Order states that the category of doctor is valid for five years after it was assigned. Clause 6 also clarifies that a doctor can try to pass certification for a higher category only three years after receiving the current category.

Clause 11 states that if a specialist received a category before 08/04/2013, it will be valid for the period for which it was assigned.

According to the first paragraph of the Procedure, the basis for obtaining a doctor of each category is certification.

Initially, the doctor has a basic – second category. Then, if certain conditions are met, he can receive the first, and then the highest category.

So, the main factor when assigning a new category of dentists is experience. But one diploma and several years of work as a dentist will not be enough.

To successfully pass certification, a doctor must constantly increase his base of theoretical knowledge and practical skills, and improve his qualifications in various ways.

Although even this does not give any guarantee, since the decision on the doctor’s compliance with professional requirements is made in person by the certification commission.

Stage 1. Creation of a commission that makes a decision on assigning a qualification category to a doctor.

In order for a dentist to confirm his knowledge to obtain a new category of dentist, he must undergo certification.

5. The decision to assign or refuse to assign a new category to a doctor, which is made based on the results of testing his knowledge (clauses 19, 27 of the Procedure).

All present members of the certification commission take part in the voting. To decide whether to assign or not assign to a dentist new category, a simple majority of votes is required. If the votes are equally divided, the decision is made by the chairman of the commission.

According to clause 19 of the Procedure, if the candidate is a member of the commission, then he cannot participate in voting on assigning a category to himself.

Author's articles, including those written with the participation of other doctors. It is necessary to provide a photocopy of the journal pages, if the article was published, a list of monographs, titles of reports and other materials written over the past five years.

A list of books on the specialty read by the dentist over the past five years, as well as the literature he used to prepare the report.

Additional payment for categories of dentists

Depending on the level of professionalism of the doctor and the set of skills that he possesses, his salary also changes. After receiving the category of dentist, a specialist can count on an increase.

Both employees and managers of medical institutions can receive additional payments for the category.

The amount of the surcharge will depend on the basic wages dentist

The right to receive it is legislatively enshrined in the annex to Resolution of the Ministry of Labor of Russia No. 6.

The supplement is calculated as a percentage of the salary.

The size of a dentist’s salary increase depends on two factors:

• the qualification category he has;
• the position that a doctor holds in a medical institution.

However, when determining the amount of the bonus, such a factor as the period of work of the doctor in his position is not taken into account.

Allowances are paid to the doctor monthly from the salary fund.

Review

Thus, a doctor who has worked for 3 years in a hospital can apply to be assigned a second qualification category. The special commission makes a decision based on the results of reviewing the report on the doctor’s activities, testing and interviews. The category is valid for 5 years.

A doctor can undergo similar procedures to obtain the first qualification category - with at least 7 years of work experience, and for the highest category - with at least 10 years of experience. When passing certification, it is necessary to follow the sequence: you cannot receive the first category without first receiving the second, or the highest without assigning the first.

As a rule, doctors receive categories to receive salary increases in a public medical institution, to advance their career (a doctor with the highest category always has a better chance of applying for the position of head of a department), or simply to improve their own professional status.

As practice shows, the presence of a medical category does not guarantee the high competence of a doctor, but confirms his experience and compliance with certain standards of the medical community. This means that, along with others, this factor can be used as a significant argument in favor of a particular doctor.
