[Breaking News] Medical Education Association: "Please Do Not View Resident Strike as 'Protecting One's Own Interests'"
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ga-yeon] The Korean Medical Education Council, composed of medical school professors and other medical education workers nationwide, requested the public not to view the upcoming resident strike on the 7th as merely a 'self-serving' action.
On the 6th, the Medical Education Council stated in a 'Public Appeal Regarding Medical Students' Class Boycott and Collective Sickout' that "the government's expansion of medical school quotas and establishment of public medical schools are political decisions made without educational measures to train excellent doctors," adding, "Simply increasing the number of doctors will not solve the problems the government is concerned about."
