Chapter 1433 - 571: Sensory Feedback of a Special Constitution, Major Hospital Reform (Part 3)

"Xiao Zhou, I heard you played a pivotal role in this surgery! The young man has vigor and drive, well done!"Vice Director Ye praised Zhou Can after understanding the patient’s situation.

It seems Director Xue Yan did not hide his contributions.

"I just put in some grunt work; the real key to the surgery’s success was Director Xue’s excellent guidance, along with the full support and cooperation of all the surgeons, nurses, and anesthesiologists."

Zhou Can was very humble, not taking all the credit.

Instead, he shared the honor with all the medical staff involved in the surgery.

This kind of humility is remarkably effective in building camaraderie. His support rate across multiple departments remains high, making him popular, largely due to his modesty.

"Haha, you are right, the success of a surgery depends on the entire team, and even the collaboration among multiple departments and teams. Your vision is exceptionally high, and your character is quite good, though your qualifications are somewhat lacking; otherwise, you could advance even faster."

Vice Director Ye hinted at something.

What does advancing faster mean?

So far, Zhou Can has not held any leadership positions!

Not even mid-level positions in some departments.

"There’s no outsider here, so sharing some details with you two is fine. Director Xue has led Cardiothoracic Surgery to success in recent years, which is widely acknowledged. Currently, our hospital is undergoing extensive reform, not only limited to reforms in clinical departments but also in the leadership layers. As long as Director Xue continues to work hard and no major issues arise, she should soon qualify as a candidate for vice dean."

Perhaps sensing Zhou Can’s confusion, Vice Director Ye revealed extremely exciting news.

Vice Dean Bai casually sipped tea, not chiming in.

Currently, Xue Yan is still just a director of the surgical department, yet she’s directly competing for vice dean candidacy, incredibly shocking.

If not for Vice Director Ye saying this, Zhou Can and Xue Yan wouldn’t dare believe it’s true.

According to past practices, she would need to diligently work as the Director of Cardiothoracic Surgery for over five years to qualify for competing as vice director of the major surgery department. Then three to five more years for director candidacy.

Any missed opportunity requires another three to five years of waiting.

This is why many vice deans are elected when they are at least over fifty years old.

Women have a disadvantage because they retire five years earlier than men.

In reality, everyone starts working at similar ages. Men assuming the vice dean position at fifty might still have a chance to vie for the dean’s position if they’re lucky enough to work until fifty-five.

Women’s vice dean candidacy is generally capped at under 48 years old, which bars many from qualifying.

Further competition for dean is even more arduous.

That’s why most hospital deans are male; females mostly reach vice dean at best.

Insufficient qualifications mean no election.

Once qualifications are sufficient, age limitations set in.

"Is this really true?"

Director Xue Yan asked in disbelief.

"It’s true; you can start preparing in this direction now. Vice Dean Bai and I, along with other vice directors, will mostly be retiring soon. By then, the vice dean positions will undergo reform, and your chances are great."

Vice Director Ye spoke earnestly.
