ANALYSIS OF VACANCIES AND JOB OFFERS FOR DOCTORS IN STATE MEDICAL ORGANIZATIONS OF THE IRKUTSK REGION

Abstract

The analysis of vacancies and job offers for doctors, especially information on the declared amount of wages and benefits, allows  not only to study the need for personnel, but also to study the level  of motivation of candidates for medical posts. The aim of the study  was to analyze vacancies and job offers for doctors from state  medical organizations of the Irkutsk region. The study was  conducted using the method of continuous statistical analysis of job  offers for physicians posted on the official website of the Ministry of  Health of the Irkutsk region. The public sector of the healthcare  system in the Irkutsk region provides a large number of vacancies  for unemployed doctors and young professionals. Declared in job  advertisements, the salary level of doctors is below the level  reflected in regional state reports on the health of the population and  the organization of health care. There is a lag in the salaries of  medical workers from the average for the region, as well as the  backlog of the Irkutsk region in this indicator from the Russian  Federation. When comparing the municipalities of the region to the  maximum and minimum declared wage levels, it is revealed that the  difference between them is almost fourfold. Although the most  demanded are doctors who provide primary health care, the need for these specialists does not correlate with the level of wages offered to them in vacancy announcements. Fourfold excess of the maximum  declared wage level over the minimum in the municipal formations of the region is not a consequence of taking into account difficult  working conditions in hard-to-reach areas, but is due exclusively to factors of economic nature.
