Next year's new major, only 5% of the quota...One obstetrics and gynecology student.

While a large number of residents have resigned due to the legislative conflict and have not returned to the hospital, only 5% of the recruitment capacity was selected for the first year of residency in the first half of next year.

According to the results of the first year of resident recruitment in the first half of 2025 released by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, a total of 3,594 people were recruited from 181 hospitals nationwide, but only 314 applicants were selected, of which 181 were selected.

By treatment subject, plastic surgery selected 12 people to recruit 73 people, showing the highest acquisition rate.

On the other hand, the obstetrics and gynecology department, an essential department, selected one for 188 people, the neurology department selected two for 117 people, and the pediatric and adolescent department selected only five for 206 people.

Training hospitals nationwide will start accepting applications for interns in the first half of the year for two days from January 22 next year following residency.
