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.
