The National Exam Practice Test for medical students begins today.
Yet despite the government’s new request, this year’s application rate is only 14% and there are signs of a conflict between the medical community and the government over a remedy for students in crisis.

Today is the first day. How many people are taking the test?
[기자]There are 6 in total.
Up to 108 people can take the test a day, making it less than a tenth.
Due to the reduction in the number of candidates, the number of exams has decreased and the exam has not started yet.
First, the National Examination Center was scheduled to hold practical tests three times a day: 9 am, 12:30 pm and 3:30 pm.
However, as the medical students refused the test, the test rate dropped significantly, so it was decided that the first day of the test would be done only once at 12:00 pm.
In all, 446 people took the national exam for physicians this year.
Since there are around 3,100 subjects, only 14% of them take the test.
As the practical test runs for 43 days from now until November 20, the average number of students taking the test per day is expected to be around 10.
The test lasts 150 minutes.
There are two types of test questions, medical and written questions, and each task is done while attending 12 labs.
Specifically, it evaluates the clinical history, physical examination, communication with patients and attitude towards treatment.
[앵커]The refusal of exams by medical students is a new spark in the group break.
What about the students who rejected the test?
[기자]In principle, you will be paid.
The national exam for physicians is given in the order of the practical exam, followed by the written exam in January of next year.
Without additional postponements or new requests, the number of doctors discharged next year will be reduced to one seventh of the normal year.
In this case, there is a problem with the supply of doctors.
Training hospitals are difficult to recruit in-house physicians, and there may be a shortage of public health physicians and surgeons.
But the government is tough.
Through a briefing yesterday, the government announced that it has already extended the deadline for the presentation of the test, that there is no additional request or a new presentation, and that the test will be carried out as scheduled.
The government is in a position that if the number of employees is small, there will be no setbacks if it is solved by providing manpower in essential fields and hiring regular doctors.
The Korean Medical Association immediately issued a statement asking medical students to find a remedy in order to take the national exam.
He stressed that if there is no remedy, the agreements with the government and the ruling party do not make sense either.
The uncontrolled committee of the Korean Medical Council also warned that if there is no relief for medical students within two weeks, the level of group action will rise again.
The policy is that medical professors will also observe the situation and decide whether to take action again.
Among them, more than 440,000 people petitioned the Blue House not to rescue medical students who canceled the national medical exam.
If the massive payment of medical students becomes a reality, the group leave and public opinion will face a new stage.
