On the 22nd, a poster recruiting residents was posted on the bulletin board of a large hospital in central Seoul. According to the medical community and the government, teaching hospitals across the country, including the “Big Five” hospitals, will begin recruiting residents for the second half of the year from now on and will receive support until the end of this month. News 1 Professors at Yonsei University School of Medicine said regarding the recruitment of residents in the second half of the year, “Under the current circumstances, we cannot accept them as students and colleagues.”

The emergency response committee of Yonsei University School of Medicine professors and some professors from Severance Hospital, Gangnam Severance Hospital, and Yongin Severance Hospital issued a statement with the same content on the 22nd.

This day is the day when registration for professional enrollment in the second half of the year begins in September this year.

The emergency committee claimed that “without even considering the results, the government is threatening hospitals that if they do not deal with the resignations of residents and apply for seats in the second half of the year, they will eliminate next year’s seats and take back seats” until he returns.

He continued, “If hospitals are forced to hire people who have nothing to do with severance packages because of threats from the government, that’s just government hiring hospital workers, and under the current circumstances, we cannot accept them as students and colleagues sharing our experience with us. Benefit.

Regarding the recruitment of resident doctors, the professor said, “The hospital applied for the quota in the second half of the year to retain the position of the resident doctors who will come back next year, but this position is for the dismissed (resigned) resident doctors.” We will support and support them to come back .

He also said that “the decision to allow residents to resign following June shifts the legal liability related to resignation to the hospital and forces the hospital to ignore the residents’ wishes,” which is causing conflicts between hospitals, professors and residents. .

He added, “(The government) should stop using tricks and futile tactics and make responsible choices to turn things around for our nation’s health care and bring back residents and students.”

The responsible option they mentioned appears to be to accept the “seven conditions” put forward by residents, which include scrapping the provision to increase medical school seats for the 2025 academic year.

Of the 151 hospitals that had recently hired residents, 110 submitted the resignation results of residents who had not returned to the country at the request of the government. According to the Ministry of Health and Welfare, a total of 7,648 people resigned or gave up their positions in the second half of this year, accounting for 56.5% of the total 14,531 residents, and a total of 7,707 residents were recruited.

However, contrary to the hospital’s decision, there remains strong opposition among doctors on site. Some medical school professors have also launched a campaign to boycott residency recruitment in the second half of the year, by not attending recruitment interviews or refusing training.

A professor of radiology at Catholic Medical University said on the 20th, “We will not act as a supervisory expert and refuse to educate and guide residents who will join in the second half of the year,” adding, “We are trying to prevent innocent victims from applying based on incorrect information. Residency for half a year.
