Abstract

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to evaluate students' recognitions and satisfaction with education in traditional Korean medicine. Furthermore, we would like to provide basic data to help set the direction for future Korean medicine education. Methods : The questionnaires were developed referring to previous study and distributed to Korean medicine students asking students' satisfaction about education, satisfaction level by subjects, dissatisfaction reason about education. 424 cases were collected, and responses were analyzed statistically. Results : The score of overall satisfaction of students was 2.83 on average. There was statistically meaningful difference in satisfaction depending on respondents' characteristics such as gender, academic year, admission type and other major experience. Clinical Korean medicine and Western basic medicine were both found to be high in satisfaction, necessity, and necessity of expanding the number of classes. 'Curriculum which makes clinical treatment difficult after graduation' was most pointed out as the cause of dissatisfaction with the curriculum. Conclusions : To solve students' dissatisfaction with education, It's necessary to omni-directionally improve the quality of education. Also, it is demanded to improve the environment by gathering and reflecting the students' opinions continuously.
