K-Medi, Korean Medicine Training Program Go Abroad
-Online & Offline Korean Medicine
Training Program Available Worldwide-
The National Institute for Korean Medicine Development (NIKOM) announced the online and offline Korean Medicine Training Program is now available globally to spread Korean Medicine to other countries.
Following last year, this year’s training program is available at all times and medical professionals as well as public officials and medical students in other countries including the U.S., Germany, Mongolia, and Uzbekistan are able to participate.
The program is composed of the following training: △ “Clinical training on Korean Medicine” to teach Korean Medicine techniques to overseas health care providers (have 3 years or more clinical experience) △ “Korean Medicine training” for students of overseas medical schools and complementary and alternative medicine programs △ “Korean Medicine policy training” for overseas public officials in the field of traditional medicine.
In this program, Kyung Hee University College of Korean Medicine, Daegu Haany University College of Medicine, Pusan National University School of Korean Medicine, and Wonkwang University College of Korean Medicine lead the training on Korean Medicine and the Society of Korean Medicine leads the Korean Medicine policy training. The program was enrolled by 761 participants in 2021 from 20 countries which included 568 enrollees in overseas training, 168 enrollees in clinical training, and 30 enrollees in policy training.
As the spread of COVID-19 cases has declined this year, each institution in the program signed MOUs with overseas training institutions for the offline training program which is currently available overseas as well as in Korea by having enrollees visit during the summer semester. Medical students and pediatric medical students of Bukhara State Medical Institute in Uzbekistan visited Korea in May and students of Mongolian University of Pharmaceutical Sciences (also known as MONOS) and Mongolian National University, and clinicians from the U.S. visited in July to participate in the training program.
The online training program, which does not have restrictions on time and location, is being conducted through an online learning management system (LMS) by developing 270 various online lectures which range from basic theory of Korean Medicine to clinical skills.
Details of the training program and samples of online lectures can be found on the Korean Medicine website (www.koreanmedicine.org).
