I practiced medicine in ancient times

Chapter 174 Medical Competition Rewards

"Brother Xu, what is the process of this medical competition? Do you know it?" Xu Qingyi asked.

“Based on previous medical competitions, most of them will not exceed three levels.

The first stage is similar to the imperial examination, with examination papers and a wide range of written content. It includes not only case analysis of medical conditions, but also discussion of the properties of medicines, as well as the understanding and application of ancient prescriptions and classics. The questions are diverse and chaotic, covering a lot of content.

At least half of the contestants will be eliminated in the first round.

The second level is more difficult and involves actual practice. Participants are required to diagnose a specific condition within a limited time and prescribe medicine. Sometimes they are even required to decoct medicine and give acupuncture themselves. This tests the doctor's real skills and knowledge. As for what to test, the examiners can set questions at will.

In the second level, more than half of the people will be eliminated, and in the end only twenty people will be left to enter the third level of the medical competition.

As for what the competition is about, no one knows except the person who sets the question.

As for the third stage, each session is different, but without exception, they are all extremely challenging for the doctor's medical skills.

However, after entering the third stage, it is the knockout round, from twenty to sixteen, sixteen to twelve, and twelve to ten.

Finally, the top ten rankings will be decided. The entire medical competition will take a month at most and half a month at least.

Don't think about leaking the exam questions. It's basically very difficult. Once someone is found to have leaked the exam questions, they will be kicked out of the Imperial Hospital. The two hospitals will never hire anyone who leaked the exam questions. "Xu Junpeng thought Xu Qingyi had got the news from him.

After listening to this, Xu Qingyi raised her eyebrows slightly, revealing a thoughtful look. Although she boasted that her medical skills were not weak, this medical competition brought together the best talents in the world. It was not easy for others to stand out.

However, to her, it seemed like just sprinkling some water.

"Brother Xu, you misunderstood. I just wanted to understand the situation of the medical competition," Xu Qingyi said with a smile.

"That's good. Qingyi, when were you promoted to doctor? Are you a general practitioner or a concurrent practitioner?" Xu Junpeng didn't want to go into the topic, so he changed the subject.

Xu Junpeng had always felt bad about losing to an unknown female apprentice from a small place in the medicine competition. He had a high opinion of himself and thought he could easily win, but he didn't expect to be defeated by the other party, which made him doubt his ability.

He then made an appointment with Xu Qingyi for this medical competition.

Thanks to his hard work and guidance from famous teachers, he was finally promoted to doctor at the end of last year, and was a doctor in charge of three specialties.

However, Xu Qingyi came from a small place and had no famous teachers to teach her. Even though she had a talent for medicine, it was a blessing for her to pass the quasi-doctor assessment in just three years.

Xu Junpeng also intended to show his strength in front of Xu Qingyi to let her know how big the gap between him and her was.

"Oh, I passed the general practitioner qualification exam in October of the year before last, and was promoted to general practitioner at the beginning of last year." Qingyi answered calmly, without showing off or being complacent. Her eyes were as calm as water, as if she had already looked down upon these false names and honors.

Xu Junpeng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he was shocked. A general practitioner? That requires mastering a variety of diseases and medical skills, which is extremely difficult.

At only fifteen years old, he was already a general practitioner. Xu Junpeng couldn't believe his ears. He looked at Qingyi's indifferent expression, and the surprise in his heart surged like waves.

Xu Junpeng looked at Qingyi in front of him again, with an inexplicable emotion on his face. He felt like he wanted to show off in front of Xu Qingyi, but he didn't expect to be shown off by Xu Qingyi.

He asked with a wry smile: "Qingyi, how did you manage to be promoted to a general practitioner in such a short time? What can I say about you? Are you a monster or a gifted person?"

"Actually, I'm the reincarnation of a medical immortal. Don't compete with me, otherwise it will undermine your self-confidence." Xu Qingyi naturally saw that Xu Junpeng wanted to show off in front of him, but he failed and was scared by being slapped in the face by himself.

"Ha!" Xu Junpeng was speechless.

"Mr. Xu, are there any rewards for the top ten in this medical competition?" Bai Yan, who was packing things in the room, naturally heard the conversation between Qingyi and Xu Junpeng. After she finished packing, she walked up to Xu Junpeng and asked.

"Her name is Bai Yan. She is a sister from the same village as me. She is about the same age as me. She passed the examination for associate doctors in five departments together with me in October of the previous year. She was promoted to doctor at the beginning of last year.

Bai Yan is good at surgery." Seeing Xu Junpeng looking at her with a puzzled look on his face, Xu Qingyi introduced Bai Yan.

"You..., your village has good feng shui! Two people with such a talent for medicine came here all at once." Upon hearing this, Xu Junpeng looked down on Bai Yan.

“There are more than two of us in our village who have a talent for medicine.

Qingyi's brothers and sisters all have a talent for medicine.

Maybe our village has good feng shui, and it produces people with talent in medicine!

Master Xu, you haven't told us yet what rewards the top ten in this medical competition will receive?" Bai Yan asked.

“The rewards for the top ten in this medical competition were posted yesterday, and the rewards are generous.

The tenth to sixth place winners will be directly rewarded to practice medicine in their respective clinics in the capital, and will also be rewarded with one thousand taels of silver.

The rewards for the top five are even more generous. They do not need to go through any assessment and can directly enter the Imperial Hospital to practice medicine. They are imperial physicians of certain grades. Although they are the lowest-ranking imperial physicians, they still have official ranks.

The fifth and fourth place winners will be rewarded with two thousand taels of silver and will also be granted the status of a ninth-rank female doctor or a ninth-rank medical assistant. The third and second place winners will be rewarded with three thousand taels of silver and will also be granted the status of a ninth-rank female trainee doctor or a ninth-rank medical assistant.

The winner will be rewarded with 5,000 taels of silver and will also be able to obtain the status of an eighth-rank doctor.

However, if the contestants want to obtain an official rank and enter the Imperial Hospital, they must be under 30 years old. Otherwise, they can only practice medicine in their own clinics in the capital. "Xu Junpeng said that the top five contestants could enter the Imperial Hospital as officials, and his face was full of excitement and anticipation.

"The rewards are generous. Brother Xu, you also want to participate in this medical competition. Are you sure you can do it?" Upon hearing this, Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan looked at each other. Xu Qingyi saw that Bai Yan was eager to try.

It would be no problem for me to get into the top five, but Bai Yan was a little worried.

Bai Yan is good at surgery. The medical competition tests surgical techniques, which only include taking the pulse, prescribing medicine, visual diagnosis, etc. Bai Yan's performance is only average, and not outstanding.
