The reporter learned from South Korea**: 7,000 interns and resident doctors who have left their posts will enter the procedure of revoking their physician licenses, and the relevant treatment is irreversible.
Park Min-shou, the second official of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, announced at a press conference on the morning of March 4 local time that he plans to take severe and swift measures against the core leaders of the collective resignation and departure of doctors. Park Min-shou said that the attendance of doctors will be checked on the spot, and we will respond in accordance with laws and principles, and we will take strict and prompt response measures, especially for those who are involved in the collective resignation and departure action that caused chaos at the medical site.
Park Min-shou stressed that if the relevant interns and residents violate the reinstatement order, the punishment of revocation of the doctor's license for at least 3 months is inevitable. He warned that if a doctor's license is suspended for three months, the time for professional training will not be met, and the time for obtaining a full-time doctor's qualification will be delayed for more than one year. In addition, the history of the administrative sanction and the reasons for the administrative punishment will be recorded, and future employment may be adversely affected.
According to the Ministry of Health and Welfare, as of 11 a.m. on February 29, the results of inspections of 100 large general hospitals in South Korea showed that a total of 8,945 interns and residents had left their posts. As of Feb. 28, a total of 7,854 interns and residents had received orders to return to work. Park Min-shou said that for those who are confirmed to have left their posts, they will enter the punishment process of revoking the doctor's license, which is irreversible. Park Minshou also said that although February 29 is the deadline for exemption from punishment, on-site inspections will begin on March 4, so if you return to work before the inspection, you will also consider it as appropriate. If it is confirmed that the person has not returned to work during the inspection on the 4th, the relevant person will be punished on the 5th and notified in advance.
The Ministry of Health and Welfare dispatched personnel to 50 hospitals on the 4th to inspect the return of interns and residents.
South Korea's medical student expansion plan was released in February, which was strongly opposed by medical groups and medical students, and the wave of resignations of interns and residents has fermented so far.
