Abstract

Objectives : This study aimed to overview the current education status of a traditional medicine by medical schools in Japan. Methods : We surveyed the literatures regarding a traditional medicine education in Japan, and get the information via email-interview with an officer of medical schools in Japan as well as from their websites. Results : Japan's education ministry presented the appropriateness of education for traditional medicine to medical students in 2001, and most of medical schools begun to set up the classes in Japan. We received the detail information of the traditional medicine education from 21 medical schools. Nineteen colleges(approximately 90%) of those have the regular classes for traditional medicine while two colleges don't have the education program for the traditional medicine. Most of medical schools have single class for introduction of traditional medicine, and have average $16.2{\pm}8.8$ hours during the $4^{th}$ grade(61.9%). Conclusions : We presented the general feature of education for traditional medicine in Japan, and this result would be basic information for an establishment of a strategy regarding the enhancement of national competitiveness of traditional Korean medicine.

목적 : 본 연구는 일본 의과대학에서의 전통의학의 교육 현황에 대한 개괄적 정보를 생성하기 위함이다. 방법 : 연구자들은 그 동안의 발표된 논문을 비롯한 일본 의과대학에서 웹사이트에 공지된 내용 및 각 의과대학의 행정부서와의 전자메일을 통해서 취득한 정보를 통하여 전통의학 교육에 대한 분석을 하였다. 결과 : 2001년 일본 문부성이 의과대학생의 전통의학에 대한 교육의 당위성을 고지한 이후에, 대부분의 일본의 의과대학에서는 전통의학의 과목을 신설하기 시작하였다. 본 연구에서 자세한 정보를 확보한 의과대학의 전통의학 교육에 대한 분석 결과, 약 90%의 일본 의과대학에서 정규과목으로서 전통의학 관련 교육을 실시하고 있었다. 교육내용은 대부분이 전통의학 개론에 대한 것으로, 61.9%가 4학년 학생들에게 실시되고 있으며, 평균 강의시간은 $16.2{\pm}8.8$ 시간이었다. 결과 : 본 연구의 결과는 향후 한국한의학의 국제화를 비롯한 대외적 경쟁력 확보 전략의 수립에 중요한 기초자료로 활용되길 기대한다.
