6 Candidates Took the First Day of the Medical Licensing Practical Exam... Only One Session Held
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] On the first day of the practical exam of the 85th Medical Licensing Examination, which started on the 8th, 6 candidates took the test.
According to the Korea Health Personnel Licensing Examination Institute (KHPLEI), the exam proceeded as scheduled at the KHPLEI testing center in Jayang-dong, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, with all 6 candidates present at 12:30 PM.
The practical exam for the medical licensing exam is usually conducted three times a day at 9:00 AM, 12:30 PM, and 3:30 PM, but this year it was held only once due to the low number of candidates. Correspondingly, 6 examiners attended to match the number of candidates.
Out of 3,172 eligible candidates, only 446, or 14%, applied for the practical exam, which closed at midnight the day before. The Ministry of Health and Welfare had postponed the exam by one week on the 31st of last month, a day before the exam was to start, but most medical students refused to apply even during the re-registration period.
