According to the School on the 8th, the PP program aims to train medical policy experts with a background in medicine. Eligibility requirements include 'doctors within 10 years of obtaining their medical license' and 'students currently enrolled (including on leave) in medical schools.' The School plans to accept applications online until the 13th, conduct document screening and interviews, and announce successful candidates on the 18th.

The educational curriculum spans a total of 16 weeks and is divided into four modules: ▲Policy Competency ▲Policy Production ▲Policy Formulation Process ▲Public Persuasion. Each module offers not only lectures but also the production of deliverables and feedback from experts in each field.

Participants will understand and internalize the history, current trends, and processes of how highly specialized medical fields are realized through policies and legislation. Additionally, the program fosters the ability to raise their voices as doctors in civil society, enhance understanding of the media, engage in discussions, propose policy alternatives, and conclude the course with presentations.

The PP program is currently recruiting its first cohort. Online applications are being accepted from March 27 to Sunday, April 13. Document screening and interviews will be conducted from the 15th to the 17th, with successful candidates announced on the 18th. Classes are scheduled to begin on Tuesday, the 22nd.

The PP program is conducted through offline lectures; however, online attendance is possible for those who face regional difficulties in participating. Students who apply for the online course will have opportunities to attend special lectures or audit offline classes. The School also provides printed materials related to news and classes.

Kim Chan-gyu, Director of Public Relations at the School, said, "We are keeping in mind the possibility of flexible changes to the curriculum according to changes in the medical field so that medical students and residents can complete the program," adding, "Applicants should not hesitate to apply out of concern for changes in the medical environment."

Principal Choi Anna stated, "It is gratifying to see young future medical professionals showing interest in directly shaping the medical environment in which they will live," and added, "I hope more students will develop the capacity to move forward independently from a long-term perspective, cultivating not only medical expertise but also a broad perspective on the world."
