What Is a Veterinary Receptionist?

Rural veterinarians, rural veterinarians, refer to persons who have not yet obtained the qualifications to practise veterinary medicine and are registered to engage in animal diagnosis and treatment services in rural areas. They are animal husbandry and veterinary workers distributed in the vast rural towns, administrative villages and natural villages. Except for a small number of them graduated from regular animal husbandry schools, most of them are middle-aged and elderly people at county-level agricultural schools, agricultural broadcasting schools, TV universities and rural self-study schools. ^[1]

Rural veterinarians. Since the reform of the township animal husbandry and veterinary stations was completed in 2007, rural veterinarians have completely entered the market in accordance with the principle of separation of public welfare functions and business services. They are no longer regular employees of public institutions and have become social people. Due to the lag in the introduction of relevant national management systems, rural veterinarians have been largely unmanned and unattended for several years. Operational services such as castration and diagnosis and treatment of rural animals have exposed a series of problems, which have seriously affected the scientific development of animal husbandry. In November 2008, Minister Sun Zhengcai of the Ministry of Agriculture issued Ministerial Orders Nos. 16, 17, and 18, promulgating the Administrative Measures for Animal Diagnosis and Treatment Institutions, Administrative Measures for Practising Veterinary Medicine, and Administrative Measures for Rural Veterinary Medicine. , Implemented since January 1, 2009, so that the management of rural veterinarians has truly achieved law. At present, the most important thing for us is to learn to make good use of the three regulations, adhere to the management in accordance with the law, completely reverse the chaotic situation of business services such as animal diagnosis and treatment, and escort the sustainable development of the city's animal husbandry.

The main problems and causes of rural veterinarians:

1. The sources of rural veterinary staff are complex. Not only the reform staff of the original township veterinary station, but also some feed factory and breeding farm technical service staff. At the same time, the veterinary apprentices, some students who graduated from agricultural schools, and experienced farmers have also entered this industry. Their technical level The unevenness has caused a lot of confusion for farmers to choose a doctor.

2. The original veterinarians were lost. Due to the disordered market competition, a few skilled veterinarians chose to go out to work and switch to other industries. At the same time, some veterinarians with low technical skills and poor business were naturally eliminated, and a few mountain villages The absence of a veterinarian has brought great inconvenience to farmers. Collection of medical education network

3. The contradiction of the low level of rural veterinary skills has not been effectively resolved. After the restructuring, the technical training was basically aimed at epidemic prevention staff. Due to the lack of further studies and technical updates, rural veterinarians have seriously deteriorated their knowledge, and even the problem that veterinarians will not see new diseases has appeared. Farmers responded strongly to this.

4. Fees are not standardized, and farmers are responding blankly. A few rural veterinarians with poor technical skills have hit the market at a low price. Some hogs only charge 0.5 yuan per head, and some do nt even charge them. On the surface, farmers have benefited, but often the problem of difficult medical treatment often occurs when epidemics occur. Some rural veterinarians claim that there is no charge for injections, but you are not discussed about the medication.

5. There is a big contradiction between doctors and patients. Because rural veterinarians are social people, the quality of service depends entirely on self-restraint. Farmers do not arrive in time for medical treatment, and there are no medical complaints and other complaints.

6, the rural veterinary awareness of epidemic faded. Some outbreaks are not reported or even treated, leaving great hidden dangers to the safety of animal products.

Analyzing the above five types of problems, I think there are the following reasons:

1. The village veterinarian did not set up the necessary entry gates. They were qualified and not qualified to work together.

2. The technical training of rural veterinarians has not received enough attention, making animal diagnosis and treatment a lame cause of animal husbandry.

3. The village veterinarian was not guided to establish an industry self-regulatory organization, and market competition was disorderly.

4. Absence of supervision of rural veterinarians, and illegal acts continue to occur.

The three regulations of the Administrative Measures for Animal Diagnosis and Treatment Institutions, Administrative Measures for Practising Veterinary Medicine and Administrative Measures for Rural Veterinary Medicine promulgated and implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture have provided policy basis for us to reverse the current chaotic situation of rural veterinary management . I think that the following measures can be taken to strengthen the management of rural veterinarians according to law:

1. Strengthen the publicity of the three regulations of "Administrative Measures for Animal Diagnosis and Treatment Institutions", "Administrative Measures for Practising Veterinary Medicine", and "Administrative Measures for Rural Veterinary Medicine", so as to increase the social recognition of strengthening the management of rural veterinary medicine.

2. Carry out rural veterinary registration and certification in accordance with law, carry out qualification audits, and increase the number of practitioners.

3. Emphasize and strengthen rural veterinary education, improve the quality of employees, and ensure human resource reserves. Article 17 of the "Administrative Measures for Rural Veterinary Medicines" stipulates that the veterinary departments of the people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the Central Government shall formulate training plans for rural veterinary surgeries to ensure that rural veterinarians receive training at least once every two years. The veterinary department of the county-level people's government should formulate a training plan for rural veterinarians in the region according to the training plan.

4. Guide rural veterinarians to independently establish veterinary associations, guide the formulation of industry self-regulation regulations, standardize veterinary practices and improve service levels.

5. Strengthen the supervision of rural veterinarians. Rural veterinarians who use veterinary drugs illegally in animal diagnosis and treatment services shall be punished in accordance with the relevant laws and administrative regulations.

6. Gradually implement a system of practicing veterinary medicine. Veterinary personnel engaged in business activities such as diagnosis, treatment and animal health care of animal diseases must undergo training and examinations to obtain the qualification of practicing veterinary medicine.
