(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Byeong-gyu = Doctors’ collective action, which has continued for nearly three months following the government’s decision to increase the number of medical schools, is expected to reach a turning point depending on the court’s decision. next week.
If the court rejects the request for stay of execution filed by the medical community once morest the government to stop the effect of the decision to increase and distribute medical faculties, the countdown to “increase the number of medical faculties in 27 years” will begin. If approved, the government will have no choice but to abandon its plan to increase the number of medical schools next year.
Among residents, residents with more years of experience will not be able to take the specialty exam next year if they leave the residency for more than three months during their training period. The Maginot Line is at the end of this month, so if the court. Alongside the government, by making the decision to lay off workers, some residents will leave and return. It might be possible.

◇ Determination of whether or not to suspend the increase in medical schools next week… “Crossroads” between confirmation and cancellation
According to the government, courts and medical community, on the 12th, the Seoul High Court will hear the appeal of the request for stay of execution filed by medical students, professors and residents once morest the government to stop to the effect of the decision to increase and distribute places in medical school to 2,000 students between the 13th and 17th. I intend to make a decision.
In the first trial before the Seoul Administrative Court, it was dismissed on the grounds that the petitioner was not “eligible”, but the Seoul High Court specifically provided the basis for the expansion of the medical school , for example when the number of medical schools The number of students for the 2025 school year will be finalized by legal procedures and how the increase in the number of students by 2,000 was achieved. We have asked the government to submit data.
The court then asked the government not to pursue any proceedings until a decision was made on whether or not to cite the application. The medical community is therefore pinning its hopes on the possibility that the request will be cited.
In response to the court’s request, on the 10th, the government responded to the press release and briefing of the advisory body on medical issues with the Korean Medical Association (KMA), minutes and transcripts of the meetings of the expert committee of the Deliberation Committee on Health and Medical Policy. (Revision review) with the participation of all walks of life and the quota of medical schools from the Ministry of Education. Submitted documents summarizing the content of the award committee meeting.
The government and the medical community have also engaged in a war of nerves over the existence of the content of the meetings and the plans for submitting these meetings.
If the request for a stay of execution is accepted, the government’s efforts to increase the number of medical schools will be suspended, but if they are not accepted, the increase will in fact be confirmed.
Each university must finalize the increase by reflecting the number of medical school recruits in the college admissions guidelines by the end of this month, but whatever decision is made, it appears physically difficult for both parties to overturn the decision by a second appeal. .
“Please make a fair judgment”

◇ If rejected, it will likely accelerate the confirmation of government staffing increases next year… If cited, a delay in strengthening is inevitable.
If the court accepts the medical community’s argument and grants the request for stay of execution, it will actually become difficult for the government to increase the number of medical students in the medical entrance examination. ‘next year.
A member of the legal profession said: “Even if we appeal once more to the Supreme Court, it seems procedurally impossible for the Supreme Court to make a decision by the end of the month. If we appeal once more, the High Court will need to consider whether this is appropriate. , transfer relevant documents to the Supreme Court and distribute distribution within the Supreme Court. “It has to be done, but it’s physically difficult,” he explained.
In this case, it is most likely that the government will continue discussions on increasing the number of students by taking legal measures to ensure that this increase is reflected in next year’s entrance exam.
Even if next year’s increase is thwarted by the court ruling, it’s not certain that residents who leave will return. The medical community, including resident doctors, is not advocating a postponement of the staff increase, but rather the cancellation of the government plan to increase the staff.
On the other hand, if it is rejected, the expansion of the medical school next year is expected to go through the confirmation process.
On the 2nd, the Ministry of Education and the Korean Council for University Education compiled the number of medical school recruits in accordance with the “2025 University Admissions Control Implementation Plan” submitted by medical schools across the country and announced that the increase in the number of students was from 1,469 to 1,509.
Since then, universities have revised their academic regulations to reflect the increase in the number of medical schools, but some universities postponed the revision until following the court ruling. Once the decision to reject the application has been made, it is expected that universities that have delayed the application will carry out a review.
Once the review is completed and the University Admissions Selection Committee of the Korean Association for University Education has approved the “University Admissions Selection Implementation Plan” previously submitted by universities and informed each university . Universities will confirm the quota along with announcement of regular admission guidelines at the end of this month or beginning of next month.
“Opposition to increasing the number of medical schools”

◇ If the return is further delayed, the production of specialists will be disrupted… This may be an opportunity for return if the court rejects it.
If the court denies the request for a stay of execution, it is possible that this decision will lead to some return from medical residents who were reluctant to do so.
Although many residents strongly oppose government efforts to increase the number of medical schools, it is known that many of them do not return to the hospital even if they wish to return because they feel burdened by the stares of their colleagues or because there is no reason to change their actions.
To the extent that the court’s decision effectively means “confirmation of increased staffing”, a situation is created in which the benefits that the medical community might gain from collective action are lost, and this can serve as “justification on the way back.” ‘
On the other hand, with the mass resignation of residents and mass leave of absence of medical students, followed by faculty submitting resignation letters and taking a break from school, the medical community does not have many “cards” to put pressure on the government.
The National Emergency Response Committee of Medical University Professors (Jeonuibi) announced plans to carry out a “one-week shutdown” once the increase in medical schools is confirmed, but it does not There was no major confusion in the medical field during the December 30 closures. last month as well as the 3rd and 10th of last month. Given this, the impact will likely be limited.
In addition, the situation in which highly experienced residents who leave in the near future cannot take the specialty examination is bound to put pressure on residents.
According to the regulations and implementing rules regarding specialized training and recognition of qualifications, if there is an interruption of more than one month in specialized training, additional training must be completed. In this case, if the duration of additional training exceeds 3 months, the acquisition of specialized qualifications may be delayed by one year.
Most of the interns having left the field around February 20, the internship gap will exceed 3 months around the 20th of this month. In this case, third- and fourth-year residents who are scheduled to take the specialist exam early next year will have to wait until early 2026, not 2025, to take the specialist exam.
Given that the “Maginot line” for this type of return comes following the court decision, it is possible that the government will propose calming measures, such as a large-scale support plan for residents, following the decision to dismiss the court. the decision to encourage residents to return.
