Go Young-jin, President of Suncheon National University, Draws Attention with Aggressive Campaign to Attract Medical School

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] President Ko Young-jin, who is putting his life on the line to attract a medical school to Suncheon University, is wearing out the soles of his shoes.

On the 6th, President Ko met with Ryu Geun-gi, the head of Gokseong County, and received support for the establishment of the Suncheon University College of Medicine. He also received active support for attracting the medical school from Kim Soon-ho, the mayor of Gurye County, continuing his wide-ranging efforts.

The support declarations from Gokseong County and Gurye County for attracting the medical school to Suncheon University go beyond the complex political calculations of eastern Jeollanam-do and are expected to be a significant boost for the effort to establish the medical school at Suncheon University.

Additionally, he announced through his SNS that he met with Ryu Ji-hyeop, president of Hanlyeo University in Gwangyang City, and Kwon Gwi-young, acting president of Gwangyang Health University, to sign an MOU for mutual cooperation and win-win support for attracting the medical school to Suncheon University.

Gwangyang Health University has 10 health and medical-related departments (Nursing, Dental Hygiene, Clinical Pathology, Radiology, Occupational Therapy, Dental Technology, Optometry, Emergency Medical Services, Physical Therapy, Health Administration), while Hanlyeo University has 4 departments (Nursing, Physical Therapy, Radiology, Clinical Pathology).

President Ko pledged to the university officials and citizens who supported the attraction of the medical school to Suncheon University, saying, “We will establish a medical school at Suncheon University and create opportunities for mutual growth through practical training cooperation.”

In particular, the declaration of support for attracting the medical school, including the MOU signing among Suncheon University, Cheongam University, Jeil University, Gwangyang Health University, and Hanlyeo University, is being conveyed to citizens as a pure desire from the eastern Jeollanam-do region for the medical school, unlike the complex political calculations of the political circles.
