This is about a job posting offering a monthly salary of 33 million won exclusively for people aged 60 and older.
The age requirement is quite high.
And 33 million won refers to a monthly salary, not an annual one.
This unprecedented job posting is for a "senior doctor."
Sinan-gun in Jeollanam-do announced that it is publicly recruiting one "senior doctor" aged 60 or older.
The number of public health doctors working in Sinan-gun decreased from 21 last year to 15 this year.
As a result, doctors have not been assigned to 8 out of the 16 local health branches in the county, which is half of them.
Sinan-gun offered a high level of compensation to resolve the medical service gap.
Working 5 days a week comes with a pre-tax monthly salary of 33 million won.
Working 4 days a week provides a pre-tax monthly salary of 26.4 million won.
Applicants must be doctors who have either acquired a general practitioner license with 20 or more years of clinical experience, or obtained a specialist qualification and worked at a general hospital level or higher for 10 or more years, with a contract period of 1 year.
