After the investigation on, and the analysis of, the educational system for medical technicians and the present educational situation for medical technologies in this country, the following conclusions were drawn. 1. As of March 1983 the current academic system for education in medical technologies included the regular 4-year college courses and those of the 2-year professional junior college courses. But except in the cases on clinical pathology and physical therapy, there were no college-level departments. Particularly, no educational institutions, at whatever level, had a department for working therapies. 2. The total number of credits needed for graduation from a department of medical technologies was 150 points at a regular 4-year college and 85 to 96 points at a 2-year professional college. The obligatory minimum number of credits for a student at a professional college was set at 80 points and above. 3. As for the number of the educational institutions for medical technologies in this country, there were one regular college and 14 professional colleges, a total of 15 institutions. As many as 14 colleges had departments of clinical pathology, 12 had departments of Radiotechnology, 11 had departments of physical therapy, 12 had departments of dental technology, and eight had departments of dental hygiene. 4. The total capacity of the professional colleges in admitting new enrollment each year were 1,920 for clinical pathology, 1,552 for radiology, 1,012 for physical therapy, 1,334 for dental technologies, 828 for dental hygiene, an aggregate of 6,646 for all of the professional college departments. 5. The total number of graduates from the 12 professional colleges by department during the period of 1965-83 were 7,595 for clindical pathology, 4,768 for radiology, 2,821 for physical therapy, 3,000 for dental technologies, and 1,787 for dental hygiene, totalling 19,971 for all departments in the professional colleges. 6. In the state examination for licensed medical technicians, 12,446 have passed from among the total of 26,609 participants, representing a 45% passing ratio. By departments the ratios showed 44% for clinical pathology, 39.7% for radiology, 51.2% for physical therapy, 42.5% for dental technology, 72.5% for dental hygiene and 73.1% for working therapy. 7.

On the necessity of the attached hospitals, 71.1% of the teaching staffs and 58.0% of the medical technicians had the opinion that this kind of facility was indispensable. 13. As for the qualifications for applicants to the state examination in the licensing system for medical technicians, 52.2% of the teacher's and 36% of the medical technicians replied that the present system granting the qualifications according to the apprenticeship period should be abolished. 14. On the necessity of improving the present system for education in medical technologies, an overwhelming majority(94.4% of the :caching staffs, 92.0% of the medical technicians and 91.9% of students) of these polled replied that the present system should be changed for the better. 15. On the method of changes for the present educational system, a great majority(89.4% of the teaching staffs, 80.4% of the medical technicians and 90.1% of the students) said that the system must be changed so that it fits into the reality of the present day. 16. As for the present 2-year program for the professional colleges, 61.6% of the teachers, 72.0% of the medical technicians and 38.8% of the students expressed the hope that the academic period would be extended to four regular years, hemming a full-fledged collegelevels program. 17. On the life-long eductional system for medical technicians, there was a considerable number of people who expressed the hope that an open university system(38.9% of the teaching staffs, 36.0% of the medical technicians) and a graduate school system would be set up. 18. As for the future prospects for medical technicians as professionals, the optimists ana pessimists were almost equally divided, and 41.1% of the teaching staffs 36.0% of. the technicians and 50.5% of the students expressed an intermediate position on this issue.

The purpose of this study was to examine how dentists perceived dental coordinators including their education, hiring criteria, working condition and job. It's basically attempted to help define the job and role of 5 and to suggest how they should be nurtured. The subjects in this study were dentists at dental hospitals and clinics where dental coordinators were employed among approximately 200 dental institutions in Seoul, Cyeonggi province and Incheon. After a survey was conducted in June 2005, answer sheets from 99 respondents were analyzed. The findings of the study were as follows: 1. Regarding education for dental coordinators, 99.9% of the dentists investigated felt the need for separate education programs for dental coordinators, 42.4% knew what would-be dental coordinators learned about, and 81.8% considered it necessary for them to take intermediate or higher courses. An organization affiliated with the Korea Dental Hygienists Association was viewed as the best institute to educate dental coordinators, and educational institutes that included a department of dental hygiene was looked upon as the second best one. 68.7% believed that dental coordinators should take an official examination to test their qualifications, and concerning educational subsidy, the largest group of the dentists thought that a certain amount of subsidy should be provided. 2. As for coordinator hiring, the top priority was the impression(look) of applicants(55%), followed by adjustability to existing employees(24.5%) and professional competency(17.3%). As to the route of hiring, 41.4 percent, the largest group, reeducated some of existing employees, and dental hygienists were regarded as the best personnels to serve as a coordinator. Concerning job performance, they put the most emphasis on interpersonal relationship, which was followed by executive ability, impression and career, 58.6% the largest group, believed that dental coordinators should have a three-year or higher career to work at a dental institute. 3. As to working conditions, 75.7%, the largest group, paid dental coordinators based on their job performance, and 23.2%, the second largest group, had their pay equal to that of dental hygienists, 88.9% allowed them to determine their own retirement age. 4. In regard to their perception of dental coordinators, the largest number of the dentists considered it necessary for them to keep receiving education(4.29), and the second largest group felt that they served to enhance the image of dental institutes(4.18). The third largest group thought that they contributed to letting patients more satisfied with the quality of dental services. But they tended not to agree that their turnover rate was low(3.04), and they didn't find them to receive appropriate education, either(3.10). 5. The current major job of coordinators associated with customer services was handling appointments with customers(91.9%), treating unsatisfied customers(85.9%), and controling waiting time(84.8%). Regarding self-management, coordinators directed their energy into having good manners(89.9%), acquiring fundamental dental knowledge(84.8%), and learning how to treat customers(83.8%). Concerning hospital affairs handling, they were most responsible for information desk(87.9%), which was followed by receiving(86.9%). As a result of investigating what type of job the dentists hoped dental coordinators to fulfill in consideration of their career, their age and type of investment, the dentists wanted them the most to speak a foreign language, which belonged to the field of self-management.

현대 정부의 가장 중요한 과제 중의 하나는 시민들에게 최고의 서비스를 제공하기 위한 다양한 방법들을 모색하는 것이다. 본 연구는 도시공원의 민간위탁을 위한 적용 방안 및 적정 절차를 수립하여 적극적인 시민 참여를 이끌어 내고, 시민들의 만족도를 향상시키기 위한 제도적 방안을 찾고자 진행되었다. 구체적으로 공원운영 수탁자의 선정 기준 및 이를 선정하기 위한 심의위원회의 구성 등과 같은 제도적 지원절차를 수립하고자 진행되었다. 본 연구를 통해 도출된 결론은 다음과 같이 요약될 수 있다. 첫째, 도시공원의 운영은 경비절감, 인력양성, 경영효율, 노하우 축적 등의 측면에서 민간에 위탁하여 관리하는 것이 지자체 혹은 정부에서 직영으로 운영하는 것보다 효율적인 방안이 되며, 이에 대한 법제적 근거는 중앙 법령과 지자체 조례에 근거 조항이 마련되어 있다. 둘째, 공원 민간위탁 수탁자 선정을 위한 심사위원회는 6~9명으로 구성하는 것이 바람직하며, 내부 인사와 외부 인사의 비율이 균형을 이루도록 한다. 또한, 심사위원회의 운영은 단순히 수탁자 선정에만 국한되는 것이 아니라, 심사 기준의 재편 및 운영에 대한 자문 등도 수행하며, 해당 내용은 향후 민간위탁의 운영 개선을 위한 지침서로 활용할 수 있다. 셋째, 수탁자 선정은 사전에 공지되어야 하며, 각 지자체의 실정에 맞는 일정한 기준에 따라 평가되어야 한다. 해당 기준으로는 공공성 측면, 경비절감 측면, 서비스 질 제고 측면, 관리 감독 측면, 시민 참여 측면 등이 고려되어야 하며, 이들 기준에 따라 정량 지표와 정성 지표로 구분하여 심사위원들의 평가가 이루어져야 한다. 넷째, 공원운영의 민간위탁을 수행하기 위하여 사업 공모와 수탁자 모집 공고 및 접수, 심사위원회의 구성 및 평가, 수탁자 선정 및 계약 체결, 위탁 성과의 중간 평가, 재위탁 혹은 재공고의 과정을 통해 진행되어야 한다. 민간위탁을 통한 도시공원 운영은 도시공원이용객들의 재방문 기회를 확대할 것으로 기대되며, 다양한 계층의 시민참여를 실현하여 도시공원이 녹색문화공동체를 구축하는데 중요한 역할을 할 수 있을 것이다.
