When organizations in the major, such as interns and residents, decided to "continue the doctor's strike indefinitely", the government is confronting that "there will be further accusations of the major."

There is a continuing confrontation with the doctors strike'Kangdaegang', and the establishment of a public medical school promoted by the government is one of the key issues of this doctoral strike.

Not only future doctors, such as majors, but also citizens who are not currently in the medical field are voicing skepticism about public medical schools, and controversy over public medical schools has even appeared in the Blue House petition under the name'Gate'.

In [Pick Q&A], let's look at the controversy over public medical schools that question the value of our social justice, not just the medical field.


Q. What is'Public Medical University Gate'?

A. This is the expression that appeared in the petition posted on the Blue House National Petition Board on the 27th.

In the petition, "I request a thorough investigation of the so-called'Public Medical University Gate'," more than 100,000 people agree on today (31st) in the morning.

Petitioner said that the establishment of a public medical school promoted by the government reminds me of the'modern edition of the Eumseo System', and defines it as a'gate'.

Eumseo system was a system in which aristocratic children were hired as high-ranking officials without examination during the Goryeo and Joseon Dynasty.

Petitioner argued that the policy that "the government will form a neutral recommendation committee with experts and civil society organizations to recommend and select students for admission to public medical schools" is, in the end, a'broom system'.

Some people ask if the reason the government is pushing this system is "because of the many stakeholders who will benefit from the modern music system," it can be interpreted as revealing a strong distrust of the fairness of medical school admissions.


Q. What are the public medical schools promoted by the government?

A. The government's public medical school is to cultivate medical personnel in essential fields required by the state and the public, such as epidemiological investigations and infectious medicine specialists, and then provide mandatory service for a certain period of time.

The institutions that are obligated to serve are'public health care institutions', specifically established by the state and local governments such as public health centers, local medical centers, and national hospitals.

It is a graduate school that operates master's and doctoral degrees with 49 students from Seonam University's medical school closed in Namwon, Jeollabuk-do. This is a different story from the'expanding medical school capacity', one of the issues of doctor strike.


The Cheong Wa Dae petitioner questioned whether he is pushing the promotion of public medical schools in a specific area because of "the irrational number of local government heads and members of the National Assembly to get the vote of the district, or the conservative policy for managing the approval rating of the ruling party's vote, this political logic." I also filed.

Q. Isn't this the first time controversy over public medical schools?

A. Recently, in the online community, the article stating, "I enter a public medical school with the recommendation of a civic organization, and when I graduate, I will be hired first at a medical school at Seoul National University."

It is because of the'Act on the Establishment and Operation of National Public Health and Medical Colleges' initiated by Democratic Party Rep. Kim Seong-ju at the end of last June. Article 29 of the law says, "The Ministry of Health and Welfare or public health medical institutions have priority to It says, "You can hire."

This controversy arose when national university hospitals such as Seoul National University Hospital were included in public medical institutions.


Q. After graduating from public medical school, there was controversy about the admission process besides hiring?

A. The'citizen group recommendation' clause raised by the Cheong Wa Dae petitioner was controversial. The Ministry of Health and Welfare responded to fake news, and said, "The recommendation of students from public medical colleges was conducted by a neutral city recommendation committee where experts and civil society organizations participate. "We will proceed" further ignited the controversy.


At the same time, various parody posts have appeared.


Q. What is the position of the Ministry of Health and Welfare?

A. It is a policy that we will respond strictly according to laws and principles, saying it is'fake news'.

The Ministry of Health and Welfare has stipulated that "the selection of public medical college students is recommended by civic groups" and "recruiting Seoul medical college after graduation from public medical college" as fake news.

The Ministry of Health and Welfare said, "The current public medical school establishment is pending in the National Assembly, and specific details, including student selection, will be decided through deliberation on the National Assembly bill."

Q. Why is the controversy over public medical schools?

A. In the end, the analysis that we are asking the question of our social justice dominates.

The doctors and the medical community who are on strike now say, "Public medical schools are not the fundamental solution to the problem of shortage of public health medical personnel such as responding to infectious diseases." In addition, he argues that "a small number of public medical schools, with about 49 people, cannot be expected to continue working in the provinces even after 10 years of compulsory service period."

However, what the people are making a problem with is a little different from the medical world.

The petitioner of the'Public Medical University Gate' wrote, "The previous regime (Jung Yu-ra's Ewha Womans University) suspicion that began as a result of irregularities in the entrance exam led to the impeachment of the president," and "The damage to fairness and transparency in the entrance exam can cause great anger." .

Last year's controversy over the'dad chance' of the children of former Justice Minister Cho Kook, the fierce opposition to the regularization of non-regular workers at Incheon International Airport Corporation, and the'citizen group chance' controversy triggered by Congressman Yoon Mi-hyang, and the controversy about the selection and recruitment of public medical schools, our society is' We are more sensitive than ever to'fairness'.
