The Ministry of Health and Welfare announced on the 5th that it plans to increase the allocation ratio of residency positions to non-metropolitan areas for the 2025 residency quota assignment and will consider linking the quotas of medical schools by region in the mid to long term.


The Ministry explained, "Along with expanding the allocation of residents to regional training hospitals, we will also promote support to strengthen training capabilities within the region, such as increasing the number of professors at national university hospitals and expanding clinical education and training centers."


Additionally, the regional and hospital-specific residency quotas for 2025 will be finalized by November after gathering opinions from residents, professional societies, training hospitals, and discussions by the Training Environment Evaluation Committee.
