On the evening of the 7th, one day before the National Medical Examination (Guksi), the annex of the National Institute of Examinations for Health and Medical Services (Kuksiwon), which is the reception desk of Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, its busy. On that day, the government announced that the 85 rate of the Practical Examination of the National Doctoral Examination in 2021 was only 14%, but that the exam will be administered starting on the 8th as scheduled. 2020.9.7 © News16 days on the day of the deadline due to government measures to extend the application period for the second national examination (national examination). Representatives from 40 universities across the country belonging to the Student Council of Korea Medical College and Graduate Medicine (Association of Medical Universities) held a meeting and voted unanimously on the refusal of the national government. This means that the reaction of medical students against the government’s medical policy, such as the expansion of the number of medical schools and the establishment of public medical schools, was so great.
It was the doctors (interns, residents) of large hospitals across the country who initially opposed the government’s medical policy and led the group’s breakdown (strike). However, after the Korean Medical Association (Medical Association) struck a deal with the ruling Democratic Party and the Ministry of Health and Welfare on the 4th, the conventional medical school and the fourth grade students, who are “preparatory doctors “are intensifying. An official from the medical school said: “If we pass this time, we will continue to set a precedent for the government to implement policies without listening to the voices of the field.” A full-time surgeon from Seoul National University Hospital said: “The reason the fourth graders from this school refused to complete the national exam to the end was a protest against the rapture agreement (between the medical association and government) “. Said.
It is a position that is difficult for medical students to accept that the medical association signed an agreement with the government without asking for their opinions against medical policy, refusing the national government. In the medical field, even when the medical consultation and the government have agreed and the main doctors (interns, residents) decide to return to the medical field, it is analyzed that the reason why medical students can participate in actions groups is that the burden of criticism for avoiding patient care is relatively small. It is difficult to pretend to ignore the damage caused by a strike because a senior or full-time doctor treats patients directly at the hospital. Although the situation is different for each hospital, the senior and full-time doctors who went on strike have taken a step back after the medical consultation and the government agreement on the 4th, but the medical students continue on leave of alliance with the rejection of the national group.
The government made it clear that there were no further actions to rescue the medical students who refused to be treated. On the 7th, a spokesman for the Ministry of Health and Welfare, Son Young-rae, said: “It is necessary to note that the national exam applies not only to the national exam for doctors, but also to a number of occupations and qualifications.” , said. “It is a question of laws and principles.” In a radio interview the same day, Han Jeong-ae, chairman of the Democratic Party Policy Committee, who drafted the agreement with the Korean Medical Association, said in a radio interview that “we have given enough time to open the registry of the national exam until 12 last night ”. “Now it is difficult for us to do something. I think it is not difficult to request more because I have already postponed it twice ”.
If the national refusal of medical students to produce physicians is interrupted next year, there will be trouble hiring public health physicians and emergency room interns. In the long term, it could also affect the selection of military doctors. After passing the national city, between 500 and 700 public officials are selected who can run for office immediately. Replaces military service while working at local health centers. Public health physicians are also in charge of quarantine, such as diagnostic testing, at screening clinics across the country for the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19). The surgeon generally selects 600 to 800 specialists who have completed their specialization. There is no problem with the selection of military doctors next year, but given the process of training the oldest, it will have to be affected at five years. The government is in a position where there is not a big problem with the supply of doctors. Spokesman Sohn said: “If necessary, we plan to make careful preparations so that there is no harm to medical care in vulnerable rural areas, such as hiring regular doctors.” However, opinions from within and outside the medical community are that it is not easy for general practitioners to go to public affairs in areas where treatment is relatively poor.
