[Asia Economy Reporter Seongpil Cho] The registration for the medical licensing examination is expected to close at midnight on the 6th without any further extension.

The Korea Health Personnel Licensing Examination Institute (KHPLEI) stated that it is not considering extending the re-registration period, immediately after the Emergency Committee of the Korean Medical School Student Association (KMSA) announced their intention to boycott the exam.

Earlier, the government postponed the exam start date from the originally scheduled June 1st to June 8th and extended the re-registration deadline to the 6th, after about 90% of medical students opposing the expansion of medical school quotas and the establishment of public medical schools expressed their intention to boycott the exam.

The KMSA Emergency Committee decided unanimously, following a resolution by representatives from 40 medical schools nationwide, to maintain the boycott of the licensing exam.

If the re-registration deadline passes as scheduled, the practical portion of the medical licensing exam, set to begin on June 8th, will be conducted with the majority of medical students absent.
