Why are the South Korean doctors resigning over the increase intake of medical graduates?

341 viewsOther

The news articles I have come across mention the reason, but I don’t understand why they are protesting the influx of more manpower. Sounds like they should be glad for more help? Or is there an angle I am not seeing.

The healthcare profession in my country is dying for more help in every sector at any given time. And we have been churning out thousands of graduates every year.

They’ve worked really hard to get where they are now, and increasing intake undercuts that. Being a doctor comes with a lot of prestige and lowering requirements hurts the general prestige of the position.
