Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the "Physical Therapist and Occupational Therapist Act" of Japan and the "Medical Technician's. Etc. Act" of Korea in order to establish the grounds for improvement of effective law-making. Methods: We obtained the "Medical Technician's. Etc. Act" from the Korean Ministry of Government Legislation and the "Physical Therapist and Occupational Therapist Act" from the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. It was translated from an association by related Japanese and experts. Results: The laws consisted of acts, enforcement ordinances, and enforcement regulations in both Korea and Japan. In the Korean case, eight occupations were defined in one law including six types of medical technicians, as well as medical recorders and opticians. The "Physical Therapist and Occupational Therapist Act" in Japan is composed of 6 chapters and 22 articles, while the Korean Act consists of 33 articles without chapters. Among them, 11 articles covered the establishment and management of dental laboratories and eyeglass shops, and only 22 articles were related to physical therapists and occupational therapists. Conclusion: Independent laws should be established for each type of medical technician. They must be comparable to Japanese laws on physical therapists and occupational therapists as well as clinical pathologists, dental hygienists, dental technicians, radiologic technologists, medical recorders, and opticians.

According to the changes of the medical environment of the times, it is necessary to discuss the issues of the doctor's medical guidance and to conduct continuous research so that alternatives can be prepared systematically.

의사의 지도권과 고용권의 남용됨에 따라 직종 간의 독립적인 관계 확립을 위해 각 의사 및 의료기사 단체들의 입장과 일본, 미국, 영국의 교육제도 및 법령을 통해 '지도' 문구 및 의료기사 단독법의 분석을 토대로 국민 보건 향상을 도모하고자 한다. 관련 이해 집단 간의 주요 입장 차이를 분석하였으며, 1963년 이후 발의된 국회 의안 발의 및 판례를 분석하고 선진국의 법과 비교 분석하였다. OECD 회원국 중 우리나라를 제외한 26개국이 의료기사 단독법이 제정된 상황이며, 지도와 감독의 의미는 나라마다 상이하다. 의료기사법 등은 8개 의료기사등의 법을 전부 대변해 주기에는 20세기의 법으로는 시대적 흐름과 상황을 적용하기 부적합하며, 보건의료체계는 전문성, 다양성, 국제화 추세와 발맞춰 나아가야 하며, 더불어 의사의 지배권 아래에 있는 지도 및 감독의 문구를 미래지향적 수평적 관점에서 변화가 불가피할 것으로 사료된다.
