The medical device industry is changing rapidly by applying the latest scientific and technological advancements. In particular, with the development of biotechnology, the proportion of in vitro diagnostic medical devices that diagnose diseases by analyzing body fluids such as blood and implant medical devices that can replace the role of human tissues and organs has recently increased rapidly In order to educate and supply manpower in the newly changing medical device industry, the development of a new practical training course is necessary. In this paper, we develop and report a hands-on training course using nitinol stents and a model stent introducer. The model stent introducer for this practical training can be easily made using raw materials used by the manufacturer, and the stents used in the training were provided by the stent manufacturing company. Through this practicum, students can experience part of the work of an actual medical device company and understand engineering theories applied to medical devices through practicum. In order for the Korean medical device industry to become a global leader, it is necessary to develop practical training courses through close cooperation between universities and industry.

현대 복지국가에서는 의료와 교육 분야에 대해 지대한 관심을 가지고 있다. 이런 측면에서 유럽 및 미국 등에서는 특히 의료분야에 대해 정부가 직접 운영하는 비율이 높고 또한 각종 조세특례를 통해 민간을 지원하고 있다. 이 점에서 이 논문에서는 우리나라가 의료기관에 대한 조세체계와 조세특례를 어떻게 개선해야 할 것인가에 대해 연구하였다. 이 연구결과 의료기관에 대한 조세체계 및 조세특례제도에 대한 개선방안으로 여러 가지를 제시하고 있으나, 주요골간은 첫째, 우리나라의 경우 의료법인을 의료법에서는 비영리법인으로 보고 있으나 세법에서는 기본적으로 영리사업으로 보아 과세하는 것을 원칙으로 하고 조세특례규정은 아주 제한적으로 인정하고 있어, 의료서비스의 질적 향상에 도움을 주고 있지 못하므로 이를 개선하고, 둘째, 교육과 의료는 중요한 공공재로서 정부가 대등한 입장에서 정책을 수립하여야 함에도 차등 과세되고 있는 점을 개선할 필요가 있으며, 셋째, 같은 의료서비스에 대해서 운영주체에 따라 각종 조세특례를 다르게 규정해서는 안된다는 점을 지적하였다.

A survey was conducted on perceptions, knowledge, and attitudes of elementary, middle, and high school students, who will lead public opinion in the future, regarding irradiated food, nuclear power generation, and medical radiation. These topics urgently require general social acceptability among various fields in which radiation is used. Educational methods to enhance social acceptability were partially discovered. First, it is necessary to implement different strategies when designing courses for female and male students. Male students have higher levels of objective knowledge (p<0.039) of irradiated food, necessity (p<0.001) and objective knowledge (p<0.001) of nuclear power generation, approval of building a nuclear power plant in the nation (p<0.001), necessity (p<0.001) and objective knowledge (p<0.001) of medical radiation, and attitudes regarding using medical radiation (p<0.007, p<0.001). Second, the educational effect of explanations to help increase national understanding of the necessity and safety of nuclear power generation will increase if information on the necessity and safety of medical radiation is provided as well. Both male and female students perceived that medical radiation is the most necessary (p<0.001), medical radiation is the safest (p<0.001), and nuclear power generation is the least safe (p<0.013). Moreover, the correlation between medical radiation and nuclear power generation was the highest. Third, there is a need for different lectures between classes, since the patterns of perception vary according to the field of radiation use among elementary, middle, and high school students. Elementary school students had high interest in education on nuclear power generation (p<0.005), perceived that irradiated food is safe (p<0.001), and had the most positive attitude toward consuming irradiated food (p<0.001). Middle school students had high interest in education on nuclear power generation (p<0.018), perceived that nuclear power generation (p<0.001) and medical radiation (p<0.002) are safe, and had the most positive attitude toward using radiation for treatment (p<0.001). High school students had the highest level of objective knowledge on nuclear power generation (p<0.001) and medical radiation (p<0.001), and perceived that medical radiation is the most necessary (p<0.017); however, they perceived that nuclear power generation is the least safe (p<0.001). Attitudes toward irradiated food intake (p<0.001) and approving construction of a nuclear power plant in their neighborhood (p<0.001) were both low. Fourth, it is necessary to provide educational programs to change perceptions and improve attitudes rather than providing education focused on objective knowledge. There was no correlation between objective knowledge and necessity of irradiated food, objective knowledge and safety and interest in education on nuclear power generation, and objective knowledge and interest in education and information acquirement regarding medical radiation. In particular, high school students had the highest level of objective knowledge and yet had the least positive attitudes toward approving construction of nuclear power plants in their neighborhood and intake of irradiated food. Therefore, to increase the social acceptability of using nuclear energy and radiation in Korea, it is desirable to provide strategic educational programs to improve perceptions, knowledge, and attitudes regarding the necessity and safety of their use.

This study has been carried out to provide data for the workforce by analyzing personnel status of medical device manufacturers, level of difficulty in securing human resource, reason for difficulty in securing human resource, resignation rate, and recruitment methods. Results, medical device manufacturers are required overseas sales personnel responsible for international certification and exported, regardless of the production item. And the company is located in the metropolitan area did not facilitate a secure workforce. Medical device manufacturers have difficulties in securing personnel, regardless of the employees and sales. In particular, Class 3 production company was more difficult. The reason that it is difficult to secure the human resources is attributable to the poor working conditions of the private companies and there is a few possible employees equipped with the job competency demanded by corporate entities. With respect to the analysis on the retirement rate, the larger the company scale and the more the employee number, more difficulty is experienced in the human resource management. Therefore, for any medical device manufacturers with large organization scale, it would be critical to introduce appropriate human resource management program.

With the recent COVID-19 situation, countries are seriously feeling the need for medical personnel and their technologies. PDepending on the aging society, the number of medical staff is actually decreasing, and in order to solve this problem, research is needed to replace the part that does not require high expertise among actual medical practices performed by doctors. This paper describes and proposes actual research methods related to unmanned medical systems that use various deep learning image processing-based technologies to check the recovery status applicable to rehabilitation areas where medical staff should face patients directly. The proposed method replaces passive calculations such as a protractor or a method of drawing a line in a photograph, which is the method used for actual motion comparison. Since it is performed in real time, it helps to diagnose quickly, and it is easy for medical staff to provide necessary information because data on the degree of match of motion performance can be checked.

As the population is getting older, medical expenses amount of the whole is keep increasing. So, the pressure of the finances, Health Insurance, Medical Care Assistance Act and etc, is getting higher. The share of healthcare-expense is increasing due to elderly illness. And it became a social problem; we analysed present state of senior healthcare in South Korea-looked into current laws and policies, and found problems. We tried to suggest improvements that drew from the current state of foreign country senior healthcare of those problems. For the result, we found the problem in relevant-law system of senior healthcare guarantee. In this study, we proposed the ways to qualitatively upgrade of medical standard that considered on elderly' features: the strengthened guarantee for healthcare, financial secure for long-term convalescence benefit, linking and functional reinforcement for elderly welfare and long-term convalescence insurance, the solution for overlapped laws about convalescence in long-term convalescence insurance and elderly welfare, a betterment of grading, and a home service consolidation. We need to secure right amount of emergency medical service budget, and effective management system for the improved level of senior severely emergency medical service. Furthermore, we suggested that South Korea needs to legislate [The Law for Senior Medical Secure] to respond to rapidly increasing senior healthcare fee.

Purpose: This study was performed to investigate the current status of pediatric palliative care provision and how it is perceived by the palliative care experts. Methods: A descriptive study was conducted with 61 hospice institutions. From September through October 2017, a questionnaire was completed by experts from the participating institutions. Data were analyzed using SPSS 21.0. Results: Among 61 institutions, palliative care is currently provided for pediatric cancer patients by 11 institutions (18.0%), all of which are concentrated in Seoul, Incheon and Gyeonggi and Gyengsang provinces; 85.2% of all do not plan to provide specialized pediatric palliative care in the future. According to the experts, the main barriers in providing pediatric palliative care were the insufficient number of trained specialists regardless of the delivery type. Experts said that it was appropriate to intervene when children were diagnosed with cancer that was less likely to be cured (33.7%) and to move to palliative care institutions when their conditions worsened (38.2%); and it was necessary to establish a specialized pediatric palliative care system, independent from the existing institutions for adult patients (73.8%). Conclusion: It is necessary to develop an education program to establish a nationwide pediatric palliative care centers. Pediatric palliative care intervention should be provided upon diagnosis rather than at the point of death. Patients should be transferred to palliative care institutions after intervention by their existing pediatric palliative care team at the hospital is started.
