Gyeongbuk Province is taking proactive measures to resolve the critical shortage of medical personnel in its public institutions. The province has announced plans to select 16 senior doctors as part of the Senior Medical Recruitment Support Project, an initiative aimed at bolstering local medical expertise and providing valuable field education for young doctors.
Addressing the Medical Gap with Senior Doctors
According to a statement from Gyeongbuk Province on the 15th, the Senior Medical Recruitment Support Project, promoted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the National Medical Center, will see the recruitment of 16 senior doctors. These doctors, aged 60 or older, will receive an employment subsidy of 10 million won for six months.
Participating medical institutions, including Pohang Medical Center, Gimcheon Medical Center, and Andong Medical Center, will be able to recruit or retain experienced doctors. The project targets doctors with extensive experience in university hospitals or general hospitals, aiming to enhance the expertise of local medical institutions.
Enhancing Local Medical Expertise
Senior doctors, with their rich experience and competence, are expected to bring innovative medical technology and experience to local institutions. This will not only improve the quality of care but also provide invaluable field education opportunities for young doctors, fostering a new generation of skilled medical professionals.
Ongoing Commitment to Medical Personnel
Gyeongbuk Province is committed to securing medical personnel and improving local public service quality. The province is promoting various projects, including ‘medical personnel labor cost support projects’ and ‘local public hospital dispatched medical labor cost support project,’ amounting to 25.3 billion won in public health-related initiatives.

The Growing Need for Senior Medical Professionals
The demand for senior medical professionals is on the rise, especially in regions facing demographic challenges. As the population ages, the need for experienced doctors becomes more critical. This initiative by Gyeongbuk Province sets a precedent for other regions to follow, ensuring that healthcare services remain robust and effective.
