To match the professional titles of grade IV medical civil servants, the Ministry of Health stipulates that the training level of the grade IV medical doctor title is medical college, salary classification for civil servants is A0, salary coefficient is 2.10-4.89 (equivalent to 4.9 to 11.4 million VND).

In particular, the Ministry of Health emphasized that medical officers who have been recruited and appointed as grade IV medical officers with intermediate training qualifications and salary classification of civil servants of type B, before the effective date of this circular, must standardize their college training level no later than January 1, 2030. In case officers have a college degree in medical officers, their salary classification is A0 civil servants.

In addition, the Ministry of Health proposes that grade IV civil servants be considered for promotion to the next higher professional title, if they are working in a job position suitable for the considered professional title and fully meet the standards and conditions of the professional title being considered for promotion. This only applies to professional titles that do not have an adjacent lower rank.

The application of the new regulation will help remove difficulties for localities in considering promotion and appointment of grade III medical officials, while creating conditions for qualified doctors and grade IV officials to be considered for promotion and appointment to grade III professional titles according to job positions.
