This study was performed to find a way to correctly recognize the importance of health care information management majors by understanding the level of awareness of patient personal information protection. As a research method, a questionnaire survey was conducted on 458 college students majoring in health care information management from four four-year universities in Pusan. For analysis, descriptive statistics, t-test and ANOVA, Chi-square, and multiple regression analysis were performed. As a result of the study, the awareness of the personal information protection system was high at 68.8%. Factors affecting the level of knowledge on patient personal information protection in medical institutions were found to be high grades, awareness of the Personal Information Protection Act, and whether or not to receive education through major subjects. Therefore, it is necessary to learn about personal information protection through major subjects, and systematic education to be familiar with the patient 'personal information protection guidelines' that are actually applied to work in medical institutions will be required.
