Rao is Zheng Jianguo had already known the truth from Yang Na's mouth before, but at this moment, when he confirmed this fact from Comitt's mouth, the whole person was involuntarily stunned at the door, glared at the school secretary and said: "This is graduation-"

"Yes, Zheng, if you pass the Step 2 exam, even if you pass the assessment of the Board of Education, of course, this is because you have an excellent foundation personally, and other medical students need to take enough credits if they want to take the USMLE, and no one has passed the Step 2 exam without taking enough credits. ”

Eyes swept over Zheng Jianguo's stunned melon seed face, Amy Ashby said in her slightly low smoked voice, the former looked at her slightly darkened skin and came back to his senses, and immediately put on a smile and let go of the door: "Sorry, I was so surprised, this is a surprise for me, please come in, Mr. Cormitt, Ms. Belinda, Mr. Val, Ms. Amy, welcome-it's just that I just finished the exam today." ”

"We have confirmed with the test center, Zheng, your score is A, and there are only 5 people who are higher than you. ”

When Belinda looked at Zheng Jianguo and went to the coffee machine to pick up a disposable cup and pick up coffee for a few people, Cormit couldn't help but turn her head to look at her, and then smiled: "Zheng, what are your plans after graduation? Do you apply for residency like other medical students to continue your studies, or do you plan to enjoy life?"

"Then your previous research will be in vain, Zheng, I am also a director of the Gastroenterology Society, but we haven't met before, well, the hospital is too busy, I want to invite you to join the Massachusetts General Hospital Digestive Center, of course, starting from residency, you need to go through a minimum of five years of training-"

Amy said before Zheng Jianguo opened his mouth that as the director of the digestive center of Massachusetts General Hospital, the largest under Harvard Medical School, it can be said that she has been paying attention to this young student who has not known his name for a long time.

The reason why the executive director of Caphora recruited Zheng Jianguo as a special director is also because of her strong recommendation, but these are not known to outsiders, but she is very dissatisfied with the hospital's behavior of opening the back door: "This is the minimum number of years stipulated by the ACGME, if you want to continue to pass the specialist training after that, you only need to pay another two years——"

"Seven years, I will be 25 years old. ”

Zheng Jianguo put the coffee in front of several people and said, turned his head to look at Val Fairbanks, who was more like an elite person in a suit and leather shoes than Comit, and said, "Mr. Val, if I want to apply for a residency in the emergency department of Massachusetts General Hospital, I wonder if I can apply?"

"Well, Zheng, are you going to give up your research on digestion?"

The plastic cup in his hand was almost crushed, and Comitt hurriedly put it back on the table with a shocked face, and subconsciously looked at Amy and said, "This, Zheng, your previous research is favored by many people——"

"This is not to say that I have to give up research on Helicobacter, but with the current medical system in the United States, my residency must be for the purpose of learning after entering the hospital, so it means that I will not have much time, and even if I go to the digestive center, I will not have much free time, let alone contact patients who can put my name on it. ”

Carefully speaking the organized language, Zheng Jianguo was a little unhappy with this Amy's arrogant attitude, he didn't know if this person was intentional or natural, but fortunately, he had made a decision before that he would not go to the digestive department of the internal medicine department: "In the next step, my research will focus on the molecular characteristics of Helicobacter pylori, its pathogenic mechanism, its DNA, these aspects that have little to do with patients——"

"Well, that's a direction—"

Val turned his head to look at Amy, and then heard Comitt next to him speak, "But Zheng, you said you were going to the emergency department—"

"It's been less than half a year since the emergency department was recognized, and I feel like this discipline is going to be a hot subject—"

When Zheng Jianguo subconsciously said some far-fetched reasons, Belinda next to him, who had not spoken since entering the room, quickly interrupted him: "Zheng, you just don't want to lose your scepter, your scepter in the Helicobacter pylori domain, I took a look at the classes you have taken in the past year and a half, most of them are focused on non-digestive aspects.

You only took one class on digestive system-related courses, and your attention was still on recording and video-Zheng, and clinical medicine is a discipline that focuses on overall collaboration, and you will have to suffer if you enter the emergency department with this attitude, and the proportion of collaboration in it is much more important than that of the digestive center. ”

"Ms. Belinda, that's why I wanted to study in the emergency department—"

Seeing that Belinda had obviously analyzed herself, Zheng Jianguo continued to pick up these as excuses: "I also found this problem, so I thought about taking this opportunity to learn and exercise, the emergency department is a place to deal with all departments, and it is also a place where you will come into contact with all kinds of people, after all, residents are also for the purpose of learning, at least before the end of the training, there is an opportunity to choose a new specialty direction." ”

"Well, Val, how are you feeling?"

Comitt scratched his head and didn't serve coffee, but turned his head to look at the dean with a serious face next to him, and saw that he didn't pay attention to his question and said directly to Zheng Jianguo: "Zheng, this choice of yours may waste many years of your time-"

"But I can learn a lot—"

Zheng Jianguo is a little disagreeing with the dean's statement, the director of the Massachusetts General Hospital is an administrative position, and the secretary of Harvard University, the director of the digestive center is also an administrator in his opinion among the four people in front of him, Yang Na said that this position has little to do with professional ability, but it is a great test of organization and coordination ability, and organization and coordination ability has nothing to do with specialist medicine: "It can't be said to be a waste of time, after all, in terms of research, failure is also a kind of gain." ”

"Well, yes, are you sure you're going to the emergency department?"

Unexpectedly, it was not Cormit and Val who asked this, but Amy, who had always seemed to look at him unpleasantly, Zheng Jianguo looked at her and nodded: "Yes, I plan to go to the emergency department for two years to adapt first, and then change the specialty later." ”

"Well, the residency training program in the emergency department is now organized by the hospital. ”

Val showed a smile on his serious face, he didn't expect to persuade Zheng Jianguo so easily, so the rest is the issue of treatment: "Zheng, the hospital gives you an hourly wage of 3.5 US dollars per hour, two days off per week, paid leave and health and occupational insurance every year."

In addition, the food allowance is $500 per month, the journal subsidy is $200, and since you have not yet started a family, the childcare allowance is included in other benefits, which is about $3,000 per month, which is only 50 hours of work per week, of which the ratio of work to research time is 3.5:1.5. ”

At $3.5 an hour, working more than 50 hours a week, the monthly salary is less than $1,000, but with a subsidy of almost $4,000, Zheng Jianguo received an annual salary of $60,000 in the first year of his residency.

Due to the previous relationship between Yang Na and Kashana, Zheng Jianguo is no stranger to the salaries of American doctors at this time, and decades later, the world knows that the salaries of American doctors are the highest, often hundreds of thousands or even millions, and they are still dollars.

But few people know that after graduating from an ordinary university, they have to spend more than $10,000 a year to study for another 4 years to become a doctor, but at this time, doctors are only residents who are hard to criticize, and the hourly wage is lower than that of ordinary people, which means that they still need to continue to invest in it, and then after 3 to 7 years of experience depending on the department they choose, they can become a high-paying specialist.

So unless there is full family help, every new specialist will be saddled with $50,000 to $100,000 in student loans, and that number will double if the medical school is at a top school like Harvard.

Zheng Jianguo knows that he is not an ordinary resident doctor, and this salary will not be the salary prescribed to ordinary resident doctors, otherwise he would not have to lead a team to talk to him with Kormit, as for the subsidy that is higher than the salary, it is a little weird, of course, he has no idea about the salary now, and the work content arrangement of 3.5:1.5 is also more reasonable: "Is there a limit to working hours and research time?"

"No, you can use it all together for 3 hours a day—"

Finding that Zheng Jianguo did not talk about the issue of treatment but talked about the arrangement of the research time, Cormit and Val both showed bright smiles, although today's purpose had a little twists and turns, but it was finally achieved, and the latter couldn't help but speak: " The emergency department is more idle in the morning, and as far as I know, people have the clearest mind in the morning, you can also do research in the morning, and then go to the emergency department in the afternoon and evening, of course, you can take care of the details, and we want you to keep the treatment confidential and not disclose it to others-"

"There's no problem with that, that's what the job is about. ”

When Zheng Jianguo nodded in response, Val's back molars were exposed: "Then you are welcome to join Massachusetts General Hospital, tomorrow I will ask people to come over and sign the contract, by the way, the resident medical report time is June, and now there is still some time before June, do you want to arrive as soon as possible or wait until June and other residents——"

"As soon as possible, you can start early with early contact, and you can end early. ”

Zheng Jianguo didn't have the idea of waiting, since he was already in the state of graduation, it would be a bit wasted to spend more than three months between now and June, so he chatted with Kormit and the others, and the latter got up to say goodbye and left with the three of them.

Seeing a few people leave the window, Zheng Jianguo put away the four cups on the table and put them in the trash, and began to dial next to the phone, he hadn't finished the phone call with Yang Na before, and after dialing this time, he also told the intention of several people, Yang Na's voice came crisply: "This is the person they found the test center to confirm your results, and you will graduate in less than two years - I remember that you don't need to take credits, right?"

"You don't need to take credits to take the test directly-"

Zheng Jianguo confirmed again, and Yang Na spoke: "Each school formulates its own study plan for students to obtain credits, and then meets the standards before they can take the USMLE exam according to the standards of the Medical Education Board, and after passing the promotion and graduation, I want to say that your luck is good, you won't be angry, right?"

"As I said, I was lucky—"

Pulling the phone and falling on the sofa, Zheng Jianguo looked at the lamp on the ceiling and said with a smile: "Helicobium is like this, the graphite layer is like this, and there are other people too, Chai Zhigang, the leading cadre who gave me a self-study book series, and Wei Jianran and Professor Ye from Qi Provincial Medical College, these are all people I met with good luck." ”

"Now with the addition of Cormit and Belinda. ”

Hearing Zheng Jianguo talk about his previous "nobleman", Yang Na had already heard about this from Zheng Donghua during the Chinese New Year, but when she remembered her current identity, she couldn't help laughing: "This matter is also likely to be the reason for your identity, which hospital is the Harvard MD who discovered Helicobacter going to be a resident."

If she wins the Nobel Prize in a few years, the glory it brings to the hospital is huge, Rebecca is now only 2.1 dollars an hour, and she gets less than $1,000 a month, and she said that if it weren't for the hard work she put in in the past, she would have stopped doing it a long time ago - did you choose the emergency department for me?"

"Well, it's for you, have you ever heard it? It's like Liu Caichun—"

Zheng Jianguo ran the train with a smile on his face, but he didn't want Yang Na's voice to rise an octave: "Thanks to you, you are still a medical doctor, don't say anything about such self-deprecating identity in the future, then Liu Caichun is a drama and her husband is a servant, and he is favored by the negative Han Yuanzhi, you just use mandarin ducks to describe the two of us are much cleaner than this, by the way, do you know what is going on with the plane we booked?"

"This is Yang Na changing the subject—"

I didn't expect that I casually said that it would cause such a big reaction from Yang Na, and after Zheng Jianguo came back to his senses, he also used her topic to continue: "What does the British Space Company say about the plane we booked?"

"I got a little tired of staying a little long after I got home, so I remembered our plane and came to take a look, they didn't expect me to come suddenly, so someone took me to visit, only to find that it was almost there-"

Yang Na's voice was a little whispering, Zheng Jianguo also lay on the sofa and pricked up his ears, and listened to her speak: "After I finished reading it, the sales department of British Space came to explain, but I inquired before he came, it turns out that you don't only have such exaggerated requirements for speed and range in this world."

The prince of a certain country before you ordered this plane from British Airways, and the request was also to have a range of 15,000 kilometers and a speed of more than 2,150 per hour, but unfortunately the whereabouts of the prince who wanted to take this plane from Doha to Washington were unknown, so the plane with only a deposit was lost——"
