Since last February, the Daejeon Medical Association has △ completely canceled the essential medical package and the 2,000-person increase in medical schools △ established an organization to estimate the supply and demand of doctors △ expanded the recruitment of specialists in training hospitals △ alleviated the burden of force majeure medical accidents △ improved the training environment for medical residents △ completely withdrawn and apologized for unfair orders. △There has been a demand for the abolition of the business start order.
The Korean Academy of Medical Sciences, a medical community, and the Korean Association of Medical Colleges and Graduate Schools of Medicine (KAMC), an organization of medical school deans, recently announced their participation in the ‘ruling and opposition party council’ and raised speculation that this would open the way for dialogue, but there has been no additional participation from the medical community. It’s a situation.
On the 22nd, Emergency Response Committee Chairman Park along with Emergency Response Committee Chairman Son Jeong-ho, Kim Seo-young, and Jo Joo-shin of the Korean University of Medicine and Graduate School of Medicine Student Association (KMA), a medical student group, said, “We have no intention of participating in a superficial consultative body.”
