During the weekend, when organizations of majors, such as interns and residents, decided to "continue a doctor's strike indefinitely", the government is confronting "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 in public medical schools, which is not just a problem in the medical field, but about the value of our social justice.


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.

The petition written “I request a thorough investigation of the so-called'public medical college gate'” is being approved by more than 100,000 people in the morning of today (31st).

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'.

The Eumseo System was a system in the Goryeo and Joseon Dynasty that hired aristocratic children as high-ranking officials without a test. In the end, he argued that the policy of "Let's do it" is a'phonology 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.

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

It is to operate as a graduate school that operates master's and doctoral degree programs using 49 students from Seonam University's medical school, which was closed in Namwon, Jeollabuk-do.


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 controversy in public medical school?

A. Recently, in the online community, a post stating, "You enter a public medical school with the recommendation of a civic organization, and when you graduate, you will be first recruited to a medical school at Seoul National University."

It is because of the'Act on Establishment and Operation of National Public Health and Medical Colleges' initiated by the Democratic Party's Rep. Kim Seong-ju at the end of last June. It says, "You can hire."

National university hospitals, such as Seoul National University Hospital, were included in public medical institutions, which caused such controversy.


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

A. It is because of the'citizen organization recommendation' clause raised by the Cheong Wa Dae petitioner. The Ministry of Health and Welfare responds to fake news. “The statement that he said, ignited more 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 "recommended by civic groups for selecting students from public medical schools" and "recruiting Seoul medical universities after graduating from public medical schools" 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 currently on strike 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, are not 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 Rep. Yoon Mi-hyang, and the controversy on the selection and recruitment of public medical schools, our society is' We are more sensitive than ever to'fairness'.
