Physician arrangement had been exclusively conducted by Specialty Section (“Ikyoku”) in NMU. NMU-PAC is arranging and organizing the doctor demand/supply negotiation between Ikyoku and hospital administrators for proper physician placement. NMU-PAC is also studying and assessing the physician need in each public hospital, which has various regional medical needs.
