BMA Scotland said its members would take three days of strike action between 12 and 15 July.
He said: "It is beyond doubt that they do not consider this offer sufficient to begin the process of addressing the pay erosion we have suffered since 2008 - when pay for a junior doctor was some 28.5% higher.
"That is why our message to the Scottish government today is stark. Come back with an improved offer and we can still avert the need for strikes and the disruption they will cause us all and patients in particular. "The ball is now firmly back in the government's court, and I hope they respond urgently and positively."
The union, which has been calling for a 23.5% increase, says it is now seeking an urgent meeting with Health Secretary Michael Matheson.In May, the Scottish government offered junior doctors an aggregate 14.5% pay increase over two years, plus talks on a change to the system of pay reviews in future.
