South Korean PM extends trainee doctor program application period to address doctor shortage.

South Korean Prime Minister Han Duck-soo announced the extension of the application period for trainee doctor programs to help hospitals recruit more junior doctors. This follows only 104 candidates applying for the training programs, despite thousands of trainee doctors resigning in protest of the government's medical school quota plan. The extension aims to encourage trainee doctors to return to hospitals and prevent them from facing disadvantages within the medical community.
