It is noted that the government has set an unfavorable precedent for rejecting the principles of fairness and justice, as the government has decided to grant separate testing opportunities to doctors who refused the national exam for reasons of ‘life and safety of the people’ .
There is no unavoidable aspect to prevent the medical gap in the situation where the cumulative number of confirmed cases exceeds 60,000 and the death toll is 900 due to the ‘third pandemic’ of a new coronavirus infection in Korea (Corona 19). Criticism is mounting for the sudden 180-degree change in position after adhering to the principle of not being able to take additional examinations for reasons such as ‘fairness between the department’ and ‘national consent’.
On the 31st, the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare prepared and announced a separate test plan to rescue 2,700 medical students who collectively failed the essential national exam for a medical license in September.
The exams scheduled for the second half of next year are divided into the first and second half of the year, and those who fail this year’s test are asked to take the first half of the test at the end of January. In fact, it gave me an additional examination opportunity.
The Ministry of Health and Social Welfare emphasized the inevitability, saying: “Although we are well aware that the people will not tolerate collective actions that threaten the life and safety of people in any case, protect public health and the safety of patients it is the main vocation of the nation. ”
The Ministry of Health and Social Welfare explained that there was a shortage of 380 public health doctors in charge of essential medical care in vulnerable areas due to the rejection of a group test of 2,700 medical students.
However, this decision is likely to be controversial, as it will inevitably raise issues of fairness and justice with other national evidence.
Since the doctor’s exam is an exam conducted by the state, the controversy over the “rule of thumb” is sure to continue.
Previously, in the national examination for teacher appointment, Corona 19 confirmed patients did not have the opportunity to take the test at all, and the Ministry of Education, which is a competent ministry, did not promote a new test.
The Ministry of Health and Social Welfare has also been aware of the possibility of such controversy, and has repeatedly revealed its position that it is difficult to provide opportunities without a national consensus despite the continuing demand for additional opportunities from the medical community.
Then on this day, it suddenly raised the public consensus.
Lee Gi-il, head of the Department of Health and Medical Policy at the Ministry of Health and Welfare, said in a briefing that day: “I think the public consensus has not been recognized to some extent, as the fatigue of medical staff it is increasing day by day due to the prolonged Corona 19 and the need to expand essential medical staff is also increasing. ”

The government has to work with relevant laws and regulations to provide medical students with additional exam opportunities.
In addition to the revision of the current medical law enforcement decree, which required the national exam to be announced 90 days in advance, military service regulations must also be revised so that medical students with additional opportunities can become physicians of public health. In a situation where there is a shortage of medical personnel, scoring committees must also be reconvened.
In this situation, the medical students involved have never officially expressed their willingness to apologize.
The directors of the university hospitals acted on behalf of the public to apologize, and the medical community demanded an opportunity to retake with one voice, but the medical students never spoke out on the social controversy and the power of the state administration to retake.
Some voices said: “ We must allow the test on condition of apologizing to the public, ” but the government drew a line that it had no intention of asking for an apology.
“The government has no plans to request a separate apology for the candidates,” said Lee Chang-joon, health care policy officer at the Ministry of Health and Welfare. “The parties have expressed their position to take the test through various channels and will operate the practical test with that information.”
Meanwhile, Health and Welfare Minister Kwon Deok-cheol said at the National Assembly staff hearing on the 22nd: “There are still many oppositions, so I will decide on the issue of national affairs in consultation with the Assembly. National”. .
Some say that due to pressure from the top line, ‘Stop solving it now’, the luck range was narrow for the Ministry of Health and Welfare.
The Ministry of Health and Social Welfare emphasized that “this plan is a special measure to overcome Corona 19 in cooperation with the medical community”, and emphasized that “if the group rejects the test in the future, we will never respond in the same way.”
