Township Health Centers have quotas for Deputy Chief Physicians, and it's relatively easy to achieve this rank after the required years of service.
For frontline practitioners in townships, the promotion to Deputy Director title doesn't require a supporting thesis; instead, a special report must be written.
However, the problem was that given the patient volume at the Health Centers and the medical skills of their doctors, producing high-quality special reports that truly demonstrated their capabilities and met the Health Commission's standards was simply too difficult.
Even if they managed to pass, the Health Centers had limited quotas for such positions. Consequently, they wouldn't be paid at the Deputy Chief Physician level but would remain at the attending Physician pay grade.
That's why most weren't very motivated.
Was this tempting for Du Heng? Not really. Without other conditions, it held no allure at all.
