Abstract

In this study, I investigate, compare, and analyze the current status of Korean medicine physiology practice education operated by 12 Korean medicine colleges in Korea. I would like to suggest the direction of Korean medicine physiology practice education based on the data analysis results. I conducted a study by receiving data on practical education from the physiology departments of 12 Korean medicine colleges, and classified them based on the type of subject, class time, and learning contents. Korean medicine physiology practice was organized in the second year of premedical course and the first year of regular course like the physiology lectures. The class hours of Korean medicine physiology practice at each school were almost similar. Six schools conducted practical training as an individual subject, and six schools operated practical training as an integrated subject with physiology theory classes. There were significant differences in the learning contents of the 12 schools: 7 schools focused on Korean medicine practice, and 4 schools covered both Korean medicine and biomedical practice. In the future, it is necessary to develop and standardize diverse practice contents in Korean medicine physiology practice education. In addition, it will be necessary to produce practice textbooks for Korean medicine and develop evaluation tools. There is also a need to discuss the integration of practice as an integrated subject.
