Chairman Choi Yong-jae said, `The upcoming Simple X-ray guide for children is not just a reading textbook, but it is expected to provide practical help to students, doctors, and current doctors by including situations encountered in the field and clinical thinking.'

Chairman Choi Yong-jae said, `In this seminar, we also shared the professionalism and policy vision of young pediatricians.' `Although they left the scene against the real wall of resignation, they have still not given up their dreams of childhood science since then.'




"As we joined hands to protect the health of children, I felt greatly that it was not a one-off event, but a promise made by children and adolescents to raise hope and protect their professionalism," he said.

Choi Yong-jae, Chairman of the Korea Pediatric Youth Hospital, said "This seminar was not just an educational program, but a valuable time for young doctors to strengthen their policy perspective and clinical basics together."I sincerely hope that as many pediatricians as possible will be able to return to the field and that more people will be back at the clinic for their children."," he said.
