Professors from Korea Medical University plan to resign en masse; the government will dispatch more doctors to deal with medical vacancies. According to Yonhap News Agency, a group of Korean medical school professors decided to shorten medical practice hours to the legal working hours of 52 hours per week starting from the 25th of this month.
The move may be in response to the Korean government’s insistence on the 20th that the policy of expanding enrollment by 2,000 students remains unchanged. 39 of the total 40 medical schools in Korea participate in the Medical Education Association.
