In South Korea, more than 3,000 students are admitted to medical colleges every year. However, there are currently 5,000 doctors in the country. But if the government maintains the current coat of admission, then after 5 years, more than 3,000 doctors will be in the country. However, a study says the number is actually 3,000.
According to a research report published in South Korea's international recognized Peer Revered Journal Korea Biomedical Review, if the government maintains the current quota of admission to medical colleges, more than 3,000 doctors will be made in the next five years.
According to the study, if the South Korean government currently increases the number of medical students as planned, the number of additional doctors can reach 3,000.
The Health Research Institute of the Korean Medical Association 'Increase admission in Medical College in Korea Thursday: Is it really necessary?' – A study on physicians supply and demand in Shironam publishes the International Journal BMC Public Health. From that study, this information comes out.
The research is based on the results and indicators of the country and international research. Where it is said, there is no shortage of doctors in Korea. Among these results, the growth and rapid medical student growth of the government has been criticized.
A Korean doctor is calculated on the average day for 20 decimal 5 days.
If the current quota of admission in the medical colleges of the country is maintained by maintaining 5 thousand 5 people, the supply and demand forecast, in 2021, 122 people, 2,220 in 20 and 5 thousand 5 doctors will be supplied in 20.
The study also states that if the government increases the quota of 5,900 admission in 2021 and then increases another 2,000, then 1,212 in 20 and 5 thousand 5 additional doctors will be provided in 20.
It is far from the government's '1,000 doctors deficit' claims in the government. The institute said that if the doctors of the work day reducing from 20.5 days to 20 days, the results of the government's demand could come.
Researchers say, 'The government's one -sided physician supply and demand plans are difficult to succeed. A medium to middle to long -term supply and demand models and procedures suitable for the medical environment of Korea should be introduced and discussions with medical provider and concerned agencies should be continued. On the basis of this, periodic supply and demand should be determined and long -term physicians should be implemented. '
“We hope this study will serve as an opportunity to recognize our research data objectivity and credibility in the international journal,” said Professor Moon Sok-Sune, the physician and director of the Institute, the main author of the research. We hope it will be used to improve government policies. '
