They added, "The Yoon Seok-yeol administration's medical school expansion and medical policies, which were forcibly implemented ignoring constitutional values, must be immediately abolished," emphasizing, "The government should stop oppressing medical students and residents, and seek solutions through mutual trust and dialogue to normalize medical education and restore the healthcare system."

They continued, "The government should halt the unilateral enforcement of medical policies disguised as 'medical reform' and promote reasonable medical policies through dialogue with the medical community."
