Pusan National University Medical Students Return to Classes... "We Apologize for Social Confusion, Will Focus on Studies"

Students of the Pusan National University College of Medicine have returned to their studies after a year and a half of boycotting classes. They issued an apology for the social confusion caused during this period and delivered a message urging unity among members of the university community.

Pusan National University (President Choi Jaewon) announced on the 5th that the Emergency Response Committee of the College of Medicine released a statement on the 4th, saying, "We are grateful to the professors and staff who waited for us, and we sincerely apologize for the concern caused by the unexpected conflict in medical policies."

The students added, "We will heal the wounds left in the trust within the university, and move forward in harmony with mutual respect and trust," and "We will diligently engage in our studies and grow into medical professionals who fulfill their social responsibilities."

Pusan National University plans to operate the curriculum without any compression or reduction through seasonal semesters and supplementary classes during the regular semester. Pre-medical students already resumed classes on July 22, and medical students will return sequentially from August 11, with regular classes and clinical training for all grades commencing on September 1.

Dean Cho Wonho of the College of Medicine expressed regret over this situation and stated, "We will do our best to train local medical personnel."
