Park Su-young "Public Medical School Entrants Recommended by Civic Groups?... Do They Trust Civic Groups Even After Seeing 'Yoon Mi-hyang'"

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Park Soo-young, a member of the United Future Party, criticized the government's policy of having public medical school entrants recommended by provincial governors and civic groups, saying, "Do you still trust civic groups even after seeing the Yoon Mi-hyang incident?"

On the 25th, Park said on Facebook, "It doesn't make sense to have public medical school entrants recommended by provincial governors and civic groups. Where is the guarantee that these people will make proper recommendations?"

He questioned, "Do you trust civic groups even after seeing the Yoon Mi-hyang incident? Do you believe admissions will be transparent after the Cho Kuk scandal? Isn't it normal to enter university and become a doctor based on ability, not through a modern-day nepotism system called recommendation?"

He also criticized the timing of announcing the policy to establish a public medical school during the outbreak of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), calling it "terrible timing." He said, "No matter how rational a policy is, timing is important. That is why policy is an art. Instead of encouraging and raising fees for medical staff who have been struggling for months due to COVID-19, increasing medical school quotas at this time is like stabbing them in the back."
