Abstract

This study aimed at characterizing policy directions to foster competent medical technologists by analyzing the opinions of professors and medical technologists regarding university education and national licensing systems. An online survey questionnaire was distributed to 255 professors and 4,000 medical technologists in August of 2016. Fifty-nine professors (23%) and 1,099 medical technologists (27.7%) responded to the survey. The results were evaluated using descriptive statistics and comparative analysis. Professors and medical technologists agreed that there needs to be an improvement and standardization in both education at universities and practical training at hospitals. Moreover, both groups also thought that it was necessary to reform practical examinations and make improvements in the current licensing system. According to the survey results, professors and medical technologists thought that, the improvement of the quality of university education and hospital practical training should be essential, and the reform of existing national licensing examination should be necessary.

본 연구는 대학 교육제도와 국가면허시험 제도에 대한 교수와 병원실무자들의 의견을 조사하여 분석함으로써 우수한 임상병리사 양성을 위한 정책방향을 결정하는데 목표로 하고 있다. 2016년 8월에 온라인 설문지가 255명의 대학교수들과 4,000명의 병원실무자들에게 배포되었다. 회수율은 교수들은 59명(23%), 병원실무자들은 1,099명(27.7%)이 응답하였다. 결과는 기술통계분석과 비교분석을 통해 처리하였다. 대학 교육제도에서는 교수들과 병원실무자들 모두 대학 및 임상실습 교육의 질적 향상과 교육의 표준화가 필요하다고 조사되었다. 국가면허시험제도에서는 교수들과 병원실무자들 모두 특히 실기시험의 개편이 필요하다고 조사되었고, 면허시험제도도 개선이 필요하다고 조사되었다. 위의 결과들은 교수들과 병원실무자들은 우수한 임상병리사 양성을 위해서는 대학 및 임상교육의 질적 향상과 국가면허시험제도의 개선이 필요하다고 생각하고 있음을 보여준다.
