[사회]’86% absent ‘intention to end … Will the medical gap come true?

[앵커]

The doctor’s national practical exam, which was rejected by medical students in opposition to the government’s medical policy, ended today (10th).

As a result of the count, 86% of the test subjects, 2,700 people, did not take the test.

That is why the number of new doctors is decreasing and there is interest in whether the medical community and the government will only see this situation as it is.

Reporter Park Hong-gu about the report.

Medical students rejected the doctor’s state-of-the-art practical exam in August in opposition to the government’s medical policy, such as expanding medical school fees and establishing public medical schools.

As a result, only 446 and 14.1% of the 3,172 candidates participated in the two-month test as of September 8.

2,726 people have not been tested, but there are concerns that the number of doctors will be low next year.

When fewer new doctors are produced, interns in hospitals, public health doctors in local public health centers, and surgeons are in short supply.

The medical community has insisted that the government should open a way to retake state time to avoid such a medical vacuum.

The Korean Medical Association is calling for a forward-thinking attitude from the government, saying: “Solving the national practical exam is the basic premise of the agreement reached on September 4.”

Medical students turned down the practical exam, but 3,196 people applied for the national written exam in January next year.

Consequently, the medical council looks forward to taking the written test as an exception next year and then taking the practical test in February and March.

However, the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare considers the reimplementation of the practical exam next spring as an unrealistic alternative considering the time it takes for the practical evaluation and the moment to receive public health doctors and interns.

However, there are observations that a hassle-free solution can be sought as the government has recently revealed that there are many concerns about the medical staff gap rather than the existing position that no additional examinations should be allowed in national examinations. without national consent.
