My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

Chapter 1435 - 572: Rapid Promotion, Appointed Deputy Team Leader (2)

"I’m enlightened! Thank you for your heartfelt advice!"Zhou Can bowed deeply to Vice Dean Bai.

The previous rift between them completely melted away with this bow.

"In my personal opinion, I believe you will have the qualifications to vie for the position of Dean in the future, and might even go further. This hospital management system reform is essentially a renewal of the management team, learning from the advanced management experience of major hospitals in the capital. At that time, the number of Dean’s assistants will increase to three or four. To enhance management experience, I suggest you consider advancing towards quality control and consumable management."

Seeing Zhou Can’s sincerity, Vice Dean Bai couldn’t help but offer him a few more pointers.

Zhou Can didn’t react much, but opposite him, Vice Director Ye’s eyes shone slightly.

"Xiao Zhou, Vice Dean Bai really has put a lot of thought into you! Based on experience, those most likely to succeed as Dean are assistants or vice deans in charge of quality control, consumable management, medical insurance, and pricing work. Among these, quality control is the core of the core, and it matches your professional skills. I think you should seriously consider his suggestion."

Vice Director Ye also highly recommended this path of development.

Medicine has its path of development, academia has its academic path, and research also has its specialized development track. The management path differs from the former three.

In the former three, as long as you are strong enough, knowledgeable, and diligent, there is a high chance of success.

Management work is different because leadership positions are always few, and they generally won’t share their experience and skills with outsiders. So, many end up taking wrong turns and hitting walls.

If the direction is wrong, no matter how hard you try, it’s in vain.

This is not an exaggeration at all.

With Vice Dean Bai’s guidance, Zhou Can will benefit greatly in future competitions for the Dean’s role.

"I will definitely consider this seriously. I’m not very familiar with management work, so I hope you two can offer more guidance in the future. I will always remember your advice." Zhou Can is already known in the hospital for his integrity and sense of gratitude.

His words at this moment carry a lot of weight.

Both Vice Deans showed pleased smiles.

Even though they hold high positions now, after retirement, they will soon be forgotten.

Establishing a beneficial relationship with Zhou Can, who has great potential, means that if they ever need help in the future, Zhou Can will remember their kindness and lend a hand wherever possible.

"Dean Bai, I think Xiao Zhou is genuinely impressive. Why don’t we help him a bit more, maybe secure him a part-time position in the Quality Control Department? What do you think?"

Actually, the Quality Control Department follows a leader group model, usually led by the Vice Dean in charge, with opportunities for the medical director, departmental directors, and experts to join.

Many in healthcare perceive the power of the Infection Control Office as immense, whereas it’s just that the Quality Control Department doesn’t usually intervene much.

Regarding power, the Infection Control Office often holds little actual authority.

Causing trouble sometimes requires utilizing one’s power to the fullest to make things difficult for others.

"This proposal’s feasibility might be low! Mainly because Zhou Can’s qualifications are too limited, his education, position, and titles don’t sufficiently silence others. Forcing him in would likely cause resistance and may not win over the crowd, possibly having an adverse effect."

Vice Dean Bai was quite troubled by this proposal.

Because he is currently overseeing the quality control aspect.

Not as a manager, just overseeing.

The appointed responsible person is the new Dean’s assistant.

Quality control is one of the core managements of the hospital, typically directly managed by the Dean.

Due to the Dean’s extensive responsibilities, he can’t manage everything, so he entrusts it to an assistant Dean.

Tu Ya Hospital hasn’t implemented the management reforms yet; the old management system is still in use.

Currently, there’s only one Dean’s assistant, monopolizing the role.

With future reforms, the number of Dean’s assistants will increase to three or four, the power will disperse, and their authority will significantly decrease. It’s considered a proper balance.

More democratic and scientific.

Don’t be fooled by Assistant Dean Qin’s courteous demeanor towards Zhou Can; it simply reflects their lack of familiarity, not closeness.

The more polite they are in their interactions, the further the distance between them.

Even couples, the phrase "respecting each other like guests" was complimentary in ancient times, but the opposite in modern times.

Many young couples who appear respectful like guests have divorced by middle age.

Why?

Imagine asking permission, "May I hug you while sleeping?" for closeness. It’s absurd!

Couples or lovers with genuine feelings might argue often, but the feelings are true. Each compromise during arguments is a process of reconciliation.

Vice Dean Bai, who is currently serving as the Deputy Director of Quality Control, isn’t afraid of Assistant Dean Qin, but he must act accordingly.

He and Assistant Dean Qin have a sort of mutual supervisory relationship.

"Zhou Can has worked in the hospital for five or six years, the duration isn’t short. If not impacted by academic qualifications, he would already hold a position. How about this, I’ll speak with Director Lou of the Emergency Department to arrange a Vice Chair position for Xiao Zhou? Anyway, there’s ample time for Xiao Zhou to enter the Quality Control Department, and by then, his postgraduate studies will be underway, elevating his education from undergraduate to a master’s degree through part-time studies. Coupled with his excellent surgical skills and achievements, entry into the Quality Control Department should be justified."

Vice Director Ye went to great lengths to pave the way for Zhou Can.

To have a leader who appreciates him as such is indeed his fortune.

Many view part-time postgraduate studies as an improper practice.

Well, the rules of this world are like this; regardless if it’s a black or white cat, as long as it catches mice, it’s a good cat.

Some have great skills but lack academic talent, or age is a barrier, with limited opportunities for higher education in their early years due to scarce educational resources.

What to do then?

Some genius came up with the idea of part-time postgraduate studies as ’qualifications.’

It sounds prestigious, similar to full-time postgraduate studies.

It indeed holds a higher status than undergraduate qualifications.

Thus, when leaders compete for crucial positions, the publicized qualifications are no longer glaring disadvantages.

Zhou Can received the qualification for postgraduate studies while working, unintentionally earning a part-time postgraduate degree.

Of course, unlike older leaders, he can likely graduate with a master’s degree.

He might even pursue a doctoral degree abroad if the opportunity presents itself.

Vice Dean Bai only hesitated briefly before consenting.

"This arrangement should minimize significant resistance, at least it’s worth trying."

He essentially agreed.

Zhou Can graciously thanked the two Vice Deans.

...

Just two days later, Zhou Can was invited by Director Lou for a conversation in the office.

Very straightforward, starting with high praise for Zhou Can, citing his diligent efforts in the Emergency Department’s operating room, proving himself capable of serving as Assistant Chair of the operating room.

Currently, Dr. Xu is the head of the operating room.

As well as being the actual person in charge of the operating room.

Zhou Can’s promotion as Assistant Chair is aligned with public opinion and expectations.

Even in the Cardiothoracic Surgery, assigning Zhou Can as the chair would be hardly opposed. Most senior colleagues would agree.

As Vice Director Ye mentioned, Zhou Can’s current shortcoming is his educational background.

Zhou Can thanked Director Lou for his promotion and cultivation, gladly accepting the Assistant Chair role.

Internally, he realized it’s largely due to Vice Director Ye’s influence.

Just a couple of days ago, Vice Director Ye spoke about discussing matters with Director Lou; now the Assistant Chair appointment is finalized.
