  • The royal medical officer system of the Joseon after the Gabo Reform can be roughly divided into the period of the Taeuiwon, the Jeonuisa, the Naeuiwon, and the Sijongwon period. This study shows: 1. The status of the royal medical office was related to the status of the royal family. 2. After Jeonuisa, traditional royal offices of the Joseon Dynasty were not used. 3. 'Jeonui' became synonymous with bureaucrats in charge of royal medical care after the Taeuiwon period. 4. The Minister of Jeonui was the highest in medical bureaucracy since the Joseon Dynasty. 5. The imperial medical service included Western medicine doctors after the Sijongwon period.
