Medical Education in Korea and Personal Drug KyunSeop

Medical Education in Korea and Personal Drug Kyun-Seop Bae MD Ph. D

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. • 2000. 8: Dr. Bae participated in the 3 rd Japan Pdrug 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 foreigners; 25, 000 Yen for domestic participants

The 1 st 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)

Members of the Joint Committee • Chairperson: Dong Goo Kim Yonsei University • General Secretary: In-Jin Jang Seoul Natl Univ • Member: Suk Wha Kim Seoul Natl Univ Ducksun Ahn Korea Univ Dong-Ryun Sohn Soonchunhyang Univ Kee-Won Kim Chonbuk Univ Hyun-Sang Cho Yonsei Univ Young-Mee Lee Korea Univ Kyun-Seop Bae Seoul Natl Univ

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 2 nd Korea P-drug Workshop

The 2 nd Korea P-drug Workshop • Thirty three medical professors from 19 universities. • Similar program to the 1 st workshop • Difference with 1 st 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. 2002 -05, 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 pdrug 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
