Ministry of Health and Welfare "Jo Min, Medical License Revocation Procedure Initiated"

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Seung-jin] The Ministry of Health and Welfare announced on the 8th that it will begin the procedure to revoke the medical license of Cho Min, the daughter of former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk.

The Ministry's move to revoke Cho's medical license follows Busan National University's cancellation of her admission to the Graduate School of Medicine (의전원). On the 7th, the Ministry received an official notice from the Ministry of Education regarding the cancellation of Cho Min's admission to Busan National University's Graduate School of Medicine.

In accordance with the Administrative Procedures Act, a prior notice of license revocation will be issued, and the hearing process will be conducted to hear the party's opinions. It usually takes one to three months until the final revocation decision is made.

Busan National University held a faculty meeting on the 5th and decided to cancel Cho's admission to the Graduate School of Medicine. The university cited its academic regulations, the 2015 admission guidelines for the Graduate School of Medicine, and the Framework Act on Administrative Procedures as the basis for the cancellation decision.

Cho's side filed a request for a suspension of execution with the court to halt the effect of Busan National University's admission cancellation decision, but the Ministry of Health and Welfare is reportedly proceeding with the license revocation process regardless.

If the admission to the Graduate School of Medicine is invalidated, the requirements for obtaining a medical license are not met, allowing the Ministry of Health and Welfare to revoke the license.
