[Breaking] Government: "No Cases of Medical School Professors' Resignation Letters Accepted Yet"

Regarding the 'automatic resignation processing' of medical school professors who collectively decided to resign on the 25th of last month in protest against the government's plan to increase medical school quotas by 2,000, the government stated that "there are no cases where resignations are scheduled to be accepted."

On the 22nd, the Ministry of Health and Welfare explained at a briefing following the 'Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters for Doctors' Collective Action' meeting held at the Government Complex Sejong, "Some claim that on April 25, one month after university professors submitted their resignation letters, the resignations automatically take effect, but it cannot be uniformly considered that the resignations take effect automatically."

The Ministry of Health and Welfare added, "The submission status of resignation letters, submission dates, and contract types vary," and "According to what the education authorities have identified, there are currently no cases where resignation letters received by university headquarters are scheduled to be accepted."
