Özet:

Objective: It is impossible to think about health services without physicians because they are practitioners in the provision of medical health services. Physician candidates in Turkey (excluding preparation) are grown to a six-year education. Both the state and the candidate of physician are under a material and moral burden in this process. Today, the positions of the team leaders in the field of healthcare physicians can cause them to be included in administrative positions in health institutions. However, it may cause the physicians who are in administrative positions to remain between physician and management and become blind. In this study, the physicians who work in administrative positions in Turkey, aims to identify the profile. Material and Methods: This study is a quantitative study using secondary data. The universe of the study consists of public hospitals in Turkey. Without choosing the sample, it was tried to reach the whole universe. The frequency distributions were analyzed by transferring the obtained data to the SPSS program. Results: Within the scope of the study, profiles of 1638 physician managers were examined. 577 of these persons are chief physicians and the rest are deputy chief physicians. Approximately one-fifth (18.1%) of the chief physician and deputy chiefs are women. While 11.1% of the chief physicians are women, 88.9% are men. In the study, it was concluded that the majority of physician managers (63.2%) were specialist physicians. Conclusion: : It can be considered that bringing specialist physicians to administrative positions such as chief physician and assistant chief physician in Turkey with a high physician deficit will increase this deficit. Rather than bringing specialist physicians who grow up with this material / moral cost and time loss to administrative positions where they will be alienated from their professions, people from occupational groups (health management, bachelor degree etc.) lower positions (such as deputy chief physician) provided that supervisors are physicians at the top, is recommended.
