Abstract: (13 Views) |
The sale of educational on-call shifts should not be regarded merely as an instance of individual misconduct; rather, it signals a progressive commodification of educational commitments within clinical training. Although the issue has been noted in certain academic and administrative discussions, it has not yet been subjected to systematic examination or evidence-informed policymaking. No coherent and operational regulatory response has thus far been clearly articulated. If this trajectory remains unaddressed, it risks compromising not only educational equity but also the social capital that sustains medical education. Revising overarching policy directives and related executive bylaws is therefore essential to reestablish transparency, fairness, and institutional accountability within the clinical education system.
