Medical Education in Korea and Personal Drug Kyun-Seop Bae MD PhD

Outline Close encounter of P-drug concept Korean P-drug workshop Implementing P-drug in medical education

First Close Encounter ~1998: Prof. Shin recognized something about P-drug in Netherland Groningen Univ : Dr. Bae participated in the 3rd Japan P- drug Workshop. The 3 rd P-drug workshop in Japan –3 days course –1 foreign facilitator (Dr. Karen Barnes from S. Africa) –2 domestic facilitators (Prof. Tsutani and Uchida) –5 foreign participants (Korea, Taiwan, Philippine, Malaysia, Kyrgyzstan), 15 domestic participants –Free for foreigners; 25,000 Yen for domestic participants

The 1st Korea P-drug Workshop Organizer: Joint Committee of –Korean Society of Pharmacology (Kosphar) –Korean Society for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics (KSCPT) –Korean Society of Medical Education (KSME) –National Teacher Training Center for Health Personnel (NTTC)

Workshop Program Day 1: Learning Problem Based Pharmacotherapy Criteria for Selection of Essential Drugs The Six Steps of Rational Prescribing Demonstration of tutorial on selecting P-drug with simple case Discussion: Problem based, student directed teaching Day 2: Teaching Problem Based Pharmacotherapy Facilitation of P-drug Selection Facilitation of Patient Suitability Facilitation of Writing Prescription Day 3: Implementing Problem Based Pharmacotherapy Course Lecture: Assessing/Examining Students after a Problem-based Course Discussion: Plans for the implementation of P-drug for Undergraduate Students Almost Same As Japan

Facts on 1 st Workshop Workshop Material : All were in English. Three Foreign + one domestic facilitators –Dr. Karen Barnes (Republic of South Africa) –Prof. Kiichiro Tsutani (Japan) –Prof. Eiji Uchida (Japan) –Dr. Kyun-Seop Bae (Korea) Participants: Forty four MD professors from 33 nationwide universities of all 41

Differences with Japan Workshop Free of charge in registration No foreign participants Participants were selected by the deans of medical colleges and academic socieities. All Participants were MD professors.

The 2nd Korea P-drug Workshop

Thirty three medical professors from 19 universities. Similar program to the 1 st workshop Difference with 1st workshop –All facilitators were from the 1 st workshop participants, domestic university professors. –Korean character version cases were provided, which were developed on May 2001.

P-drug for Undergraduate

P-drug for Undergraduates Seoul National University –PBL module for 2 nd year students , 3-days course –Korean version, consulted to endocrinologist to remove any error or unrealistic situation –Three cases: DM, DM with hypertension with/without hypercholesterolemia Yonsei University –Some professors use their own bedside teaching time for p- drug education. Korea University –In developing of PBL module for undergraduates Many unreported activities

Future Plan Workshop for intra-university professors –Prerequisite for resident, medical student training Workshop for primary physicians –Especially become important with the separation of prescription from dispensing drugs –Most easy Workshop for residents –Most difficult due to lack of time and facilitators

Good Strategy for Propagation Work with persons in authority like deans Cooperation among several medical academic societies like society of pharmacology, society of internal medicine, society of medical education Free or little of charge – Need sponsors Separation of PBL module developing from simple facilitatoring –Module developing is much more difficult than the facilitating. Shorten the workshop course time Highly recommend intra-mural workshop
