The Health Ministry sent on Monday the first notifications of license suspension to two senior doctors.
Those doctors, Park Myung-ha and Kim Taek-woo, who are both leaders of an emergency committee at the Korea Medical Association, were given final suspension notices of three months running from April 15th to July 14th.
The ministry said Park and Kim were given the suspensions as they have been supporting the walkout of junior doctors.
Park says the walkout was a result of voluntary action by trainee doctors individually and that he will take legal action.
Trainee doctors are also preparing to take legal action as they will also start receiving suspension notices from next Monday.
Over 2-thousand male medical school students who have been on a leave of absence as a protest against plans for expanding the medical school admission quota have according to a recent survey shown willingness to join the military as a regular enlisted soldier rather than as a medical officer or public health doctor.
The survey was conducted by the Korea Association of Medical Colleges with around 5-thousand students responding.
Around 4-hundred of those students were reported to already have applied for enlistment which is in contrast to only 2-hundred medical school students enlisted as a serving soldier two years ago.
And medical school professors from universities including Seoul National University and Yonsei University are set to submit their resignations next Monday.
