Mapping the path to physician leadership: lessons from a comprehensive content analysis of Korean medical school curricula: Yoolwon Jeong, Suwan Go, Young-Hee Lee, Yoomi Chae; Korean J Med Educ 2026;38(2):158-167.
Published online May 22, 2026; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3946/kjme.2025.142

Purpose
Despite growing recognition of the critical importance of physician leadership in delivering safe healthcare, especially in light of the 2023 medical crisis and professional resistance in Korea, existing studies on leadership education have focused predominantly on countries with long-established leadership curricula. This study aims to assess the curricular content of Korean medical schools to provide a quantitative and qualitative baseline of medical leadership training in the undergraduate curriculum.
Methods
We conducted a content analysis of undergraduate medical curricula from 19 Korean medical schools using the Medical Leadership Competency Framework (MLCF) as a guiding framework. Survey questionnaires were distributed to designated faculty at each institution, and 270 courses were analyzed, yielding 504 leadership-related codes that were categorized thematically across the five MLCF domains and by academic year.
Results
Our analysis revealed that 228 codes (45.2%) fell within “Demonstrating personal qualities” and 75 codes (14.8%) within “Setting direction,” with predominant emphasis on medical ethics and law. Training in systems-based practice, self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and team-based approaches was relatively limited. Substantial institutional variation existed, with only eight of 19 schools offering curricula covering all five MLCF domains. Most leadership content was delivered through isolated, single- semester courses rather than longitudinally integrated programs.
Conclusion
While Korean medical schools recognize certain leadership competencies, there is a need for more comprehensive and consistent integration of leadership development, particularly in teamwork and systems-based practice. We recommend longitudinal integration of leadership education across pre-clinical and clinical years to address evolving competencies at different training stages.

Stress and coping skills in medical students: Yu Ra Kim, Hye Jin Park, Seong Yong Kim; Korean J Med Educ 2025;37(1):59-63.
Published online February 26, 2025; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3946/kjme.2025.323

Abstract
PDF

Purpose
This study aims to confirm the degree of stress perceived by medical students in Korea and to study the difference between the methods used to relieve stress. In addition, this study evaluates the stress relief methods medical students believe are effective.
Methods
The subjects of the study were 147 students of a medical school in Korea who voluntarily participated in an online survey. The degree of stress perceived by medical students in Korea was confirmed, and the differences between the methods used to relieve stress were analyzed, along with the effective stress relief methods considered by the students themselves.
Results
There was no difference found in the degree of stress experienced by medical students based on their year in school and gender. The most commonly reported method to relieve stress was sleep, and it was found that this method provided the highest degree of stress relief.
Conclusion
As stress has been consistently reported as an issue among medical students, tackling stress among medical students should not be handled solely at the individual level.

Review Article

Current status and challenges of faculty development in Korean medical education and strategies for advancement: Dong Hyeon Lee; Korean J Med Educ 2024;36(4):415-427.
Published online November 28, 2024; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3946/kjme.2024.314

Abstract
PDF

Medical school professors take on many roles, including teaching, research, service, and practice, and are expected to evolve through their work and activities both on and off campus. At the same time, they are expected to gradually develop essential competencies as educators through faculty development (FD). However, FD does not yet cover the entire spectrum of faculty roles and does not adequately address the diverse characteristics of medical school faculty. In light of the recent interest in FD in Korean medical schools and an increasing number of articles on FD, I here review the history of and recent articles about FD in Korea. I also suggest seven short- and long-term strategies to overcome the major challenges facing FD, with the aim of helping to revitalize and advance FD in Korean medical schools and FD institutions.

Abstract
PDF

Purpose
Current faculty development (FD) programs are mostly limited to medical education and often lack a comprehensive and systematic structure. Therefore, the present study aimed to explore the current status and needs of FD programs in medical schools to provide a basis for establishing FD strategies.
Methods
We conducted an online survey of medical school FD staff and professors regarding FD. Frequency, regression, and qualitative content analyses were conducted. FD programs were categorized into the classification frameworks.
Results
A total of 17 FD staff and 256 professors at 37 medical schools participated. There are gaps between the internal and external FD programs offered by medical schools and their needs, and there are gaps between the programs the professors participated in and their needs. Recent internal and external FD programs in medical schools have focused on educational methods, student assessment, and education in general. Medical schools have a high need for leadership and self-development, and student assessment. Furthermore, professors have a high need for leadership and self-development, and research. The number of participants, topics, and needs of FD programs varied depending on the characteristics of individual professors.
Conclusion
Medical schools should expand their FD programs to meet the needs of individuals and the changing demands of modern medical education. The focus should be on comprehensive and responsive programs that cover various topics, levels, and methods. Tailored programs that consider professors’ professional roles, career stages, and personal interests are essential for effective FD.

Job stress and burnout affecting the mental health of Korean medical faculty members: constructing causality among latent variables: Ji-Hyun Seo, Hwa-ok Bae; Korean J Med Educ 2024;36(1):27-39.
Published online February 28, 2024; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3946/kjme.2024.282

Abstract
PDF

Purpose
This study aims to examine whether perceived levels of job stress, burnout, and mental health are different according to demographic characteristics and working conditions and to investigate the direct and indirect effects of job stress and burnout on the mental health of medical faculty members.
Methods
The study sample consists of 855 faculty members in 40 medical schools nationwide in the 2020 Burnout of Faculty Members of Medical Schools in Korea data with a grant from the Korean Association of Medical Colleges. This study employed structural equation modeling to construct causality among latent variables in addition to t-test, analysis of variance, and correlation coefficients for bivariate analyses.
Results
Perceived job stress, burnout, and mental health levels of medical faculty members showed significant group differences by demographic characteristics and working conditions. Job stress directly affected mental health (β=0.215, p<0.01) and indirectly affected mental health via burnout (β=0.493, p<0.001). Thus burnout significantly mediated the relationship between job stress and the mental health of medical faculty members.
Conclusion
This study found that job stress has direct and indirect effects on the mental health of medical faculty members, and burnout partially mediated this relationship. Further studies need to intervene in job stress and burnout to prevent the adverse mental health of medical faculty members and to introduce proper measures to improve working conditions affecting job stress and burnout.

Abstract
PDF

Purpose
This study aims to investigate how medical schools in Korea managed their academic affairs and student support in response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and their plans for the post-COVID-19 era.
Methods
An online survey was conducted, and a link to a questionnaire was distributed to all the administrators of the 40 medical schools in Korea. The final analysis data involved responses from 33 medical schools and 1,342 students. Frequency analysis, cross-tabulation analysis, Fisher’s exact test, and one-way analysis of variance were applied for statistical analysis.
Results
Regarding instruction methods, most medical schools in Korea transitioned from in-person learning to video-on-demand learning (51.5%) and real-time online learning (42.4%). Among the school leaders, 36.4% planned to continue offering online classes combined with in-person classes beyond the end of the pandemic. Among the students, the online class concentration and participation score was 3.0 points or lower, but the class understanding score was 3.6 points, above a moderate level.
Conclusion
Students cited the shorter times needed to attend school and being able to take classes repeatedly as advantages of online classes, and over one-third of medical schools intended to continue with a hybrid of in-person and online learning even after the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions end.

Accreditation standards items of post-2nd cycle related to the decision of accreditation of medical schools by the Korean Institute of Medical Education and Evaluation: Kwi Hwa Park, Geon Ho Lee, Su Jin Chae, Seong Yong Kim; Korean J Med Educ 2023;35(1):1-7.
Published online February 28, 2023; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3946/kjme.2023.244

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to analyze the accreditation standards items related to the decision of accreditation of medical schools by the Korea Institute of Medical Education and Evaluation (KIMEE).
Methods
The subjects are medical schools in Korea that have received post-2nd cycle accreditation from the KIMEE between 2012 and 2016. Analyses were conducted for differences in accreditation decisions according to the characteristics of medical schools, sufficient ratios of basic standards items, and correlation between standards items related to accreditation decisions.
Results
After examining differences in accreditation decisions by the medical school’s characteristics, there were no significant correlations between accreditation standard items and accreditation decisions. Second, according to the number of schools that sufficiently or insufficiently met each standard item, from the total of 97 standard items, 20 (20.6%) were sufficiently fulfilled by all medical schools. Standard item 2-5-2 demonstrated the highest insufficiency ratio. Third, with respect to the standard item that had an effect on accreditation decisions, standard item 1-5-1 showed the highest correlation with the sufficiency rate.
Conclusion
The validity of accreditation standards items was assured as this study evaluated the post-2nd cycle accreditation standards items regardless of each medical school’s characteristics. The accreditation standards items were found to have a meaningful impact on the development of medical schools and qualitative improvement in medical education. The findings are expected to contribute to guaranteeing the validity and reliability of accreditation decisions and raising the quality of accreditation.

Abstract
PDF

Purpose
This study analyzed the current status of and correlations between Korean medical students’ experiences and perspectives surrounding patient-centered medical education (PCME).
Methods
A structured PCME questionnaire composed of three categories, understanding patients within social and cultural contexts, understanding patients’ individual health contexts through communication, and placement of patients at the center of medical education, was used. The students were stratified into pre-medical (Pre-med), medical (Med), and policlinic (PK) groups because of curriculum differences by grade. The χ² test was applied to analyze the association between students’ experiences with and perspectives on PCME. A Cramer’s V of 0.200 was considered a large effect size for any association between experiences with and perspectives on PCME.
Results
Among the respondents, 50.6% answered that they did not know about patient-centered medicine before the survey. With increasing school years went up from Pre-med to PK, fewer students agreed that PCME should be added to pre-clinical medicine curricula (p<0.001), that patients should be in the center throughout medical education (p=0.011), and that patients’ personal histories, values, and objectives are important PCME (p=0.001). Students who said they learned PCME for each category were more likely to consider PCME important (Cramer’s V was 0.219 and 0.271 for “with,” and “for the patients” respectively, p<0.001 for “about/with/for the patients”). Students in all groups chose clinical practice as the best method for PCME (p=0.021). Med group chose the lectures as the most effective tool to learn about the importance of communication (p<0.001).
Conclusion
Students who experienced PCME were likely to perceive PCME as important and it showed that experiences of PCME had positive effects on PCME perceptions. Despite students’ preferences for clinical practice as the best method for PCME, PK reported that they did not learn PCME, and regarded PCME as less important compared to students at earlier stages of their medical education. Therefore, more intensive and holistic PCME curricula rather than only clinical practice exposure may be necessary.

Abstract
PDF

Purpose
This study explored how the Korean Medical Colleges responded to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and the medical deans’ perspectives on what and how these adaptions influence the present and the future of medical education.
Methods
An email survey combining short and open-ended questions was distributed to all 40 Korean school deans in May 2020. Thirty-seven deans out of 40 medical schools in Korea (92.5%) participated.
Results
Most lectures moved online but students’ assessments were delayed and later held onsite. Clinical rotations continued except for an average of 3-week suspension during the first COVID-19 wave. The deans’ remarks on the positive influences far outweighed the negative impact of COVID-19 on medical education. Although technological adaptations caused initial hardship, the experience gained through the use of various online learning systems led to attitudinal changes on the importance of adopting new technology and a tailored and student centric curriculum in medical education.
Conclusion
The deans’ perspective changes has shown the possibility of the deans’ generation aligning more closely with the current Generation Z medical students. They projected further innovations in teaching and learning methods, especially applying flipped learning and highlighted the need to invest in faculty development so medical educators can be equipped and competent in diverse ICT (information and communications technology) learning platforms. Also, the need for advance preparations in medical education for future similar public health crises were stressed. Unprecedented changes brought by COVID-19 positively impacted Korean medical education in parts and the Korean deans envisioned further innovations using the experiences gained during this crisis.

Abstract
PDF

Purpose
This study aimed to investigate students’ cheating behaviors, perceptions, and risk factors for cheating.
Methods
The author conducted a questionnaire survey of 375 undergraduate students at the Dankook University College of Dentistry in 2017. The questionnaires consisted of three parts: individual information, a moral sensitivity test, and cheating behaviors. Students rated whether they were involved in 28 cheating behaviors and their intolerant attitude for each behavior. Each student received a cheating grade of severity and diversity from 0 to 4 according to the degree of commitment in cheating behaviors. Chi-square and correlation tests were performed among cheating grades, individual factors, and moral sensitivity.
Results
Most students admitted having engaged in at least one cheating behavior (92.2%). School years, intolerant attitudes towards cheating, perceived prevalence, study time, and academic performance showed significant correlations with students’ cheating grades.
Conclusion
These findings indicated that cheating behaviors were a very serious and prevalent problem at this dental college in South Korea. This is a critical issue that must be addressed. Dental school faculty members need to work together to develop policies, ethics curriculum and to improve students’ attitudes. It is also important to encourage students to learn and devote their time to study to reduce cheating behaviors.

Abstract
PDF

Purpose
This study aims to analyze the competency of medical students and its relevance for admission policy in medical schools.
Methods
This study examined the competency of 63 medical students from the 6-year program (group A) and 41 medical students from the 4-year program (group B) at Yonsei University using the Korea Collegiate Essential Skills Assessment (KCESA). The competency of groups A and B were compared to the corresponding competency levels of non-medical students (groups C and D). Group C is freshmen and D is senior students in universities. The KCESA is computer-based ability test composed of 228 items. The competency of participants were calculated on a T-scores (mean=50, standard deviation=10) based on KCESA norm-references. We conducted independent t-test for group comparisons of competency levels.
Results
There are no differences in competency levels between groups A and B. Compared with the non-medical students (group B), the medical students showed a significantly stronger ability to use resources, information-technology and higher-order thinking. In the comparison between groups B and D, medical students showed lower levels of self-management, interpersonal, and cooperative skills.
Conclusion
The cognitive ability serves as an important indicator for the decision on admission to a basic medical education program. The efforts should be made to foster the competency that medical students have been found to lack, such as self-management, interpersonal, and cooperative skills. The admission committee should assess the cognitive and non-cognitive competency of applicants in a balanced manner.

Abstract
PDF

The Korean Association of Medical Colleges (KAMC) developed graduate outcomes based on “The role of Korean doctor, 2014” to serve as guidelines regarding outcome-based education in Korea. The working group in this study analyzed 65 competencies proposed in “The role of Korean doctor, 2014” according to the developmental principle that certain outcomes should be demonstrated at the point of entry into the graduate medical education. We established 34 competencies as “preliminary graduate outcomes” (PGOs). The advisory committee consisted of 11 professors, who reviewed the validity of PGOs. Ultimately, a total of 19 “revised graduate outcomes” (RGOs) were selected. We modified the RGOs based on opinions from medical schools and a public hearing. In November 2017, the KAMC announced the “graduate outcomes for basic medical education,” which serves as a guide for basic medical education for the 40 medical schools throughout Korea. Medical schools can expand the graduate outcomes according to their educational goals and modify them according to their own context. We believe that graduate outcomes can be a starting point for connecting basic medical education to graduate medical education.

Abstract
PDF

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to categorize surgery-related medical terminologies used in South and North Korea and to compare and analyze discrepancies observed in the terms. Methods: This study collected medical terminology used in the North Korean medical book “Surgery” and compared it to medical terminology found in the medical glossary of South Korea. The order of the subtitle was described according to the Instruction to Authors. Results: In total, there were 2,168 individual medical terms, of which only 1,004 words (46.3%) were identical to South Korean medical terms. There were 581 similar terms (26.8%), 265 different terms (12.2%), and 318 terms that are nonexistent in South Korea (14.7%). Conclusion: Less than half of the medical terms used in North Korea match those used in South Korea. It is expected that the prolongation of the current division of South and North Korea will only worsen this discrepancy. Further efforts to bridge the gap through academic exchange between South Korea and North Korea are required in preparation for an era of reunification.

Abstract
PDF

Purpose
This study aims to identify how problem-based learning (PBL) has been implemented in Korean medical education, and how it is evaluated by each medical school.
Methods
For this study, a total of 40 medical schools in Korea were surveyed via e-mail. The survey tool was a questionnaire consisting of 22 questions which was developed independently by the researchers.
Results
Of the 40 medical schools, 35 schools were implementing PBL programs in their medical curriculum, while five were found not currently to be running the program. A large number of the schools which introduced PBL (30 schools, 85.7%) used a hybrid PBL model. In over 70% of the medical schools surveyed, professors evaluated the effects of PBL as positive. Most medical schools (85.7%) stated they would maintain or expand their use of PBL. However, the lack of understanding and skeptical attitude of the faculty on PBL, the lack of self-study time and passive attitude of students, insufficiency of good PBL cases, and the perfunctory PBL introduction for school accreditation interfere with the successful PBL.
Conclusion
PBL has been incorporated in Korean medical curriculum as hybrid PBL type. It is analyzed that intensive tutor training and good PBL case development are necessary for the success and effective operation of PBL.

Abstract
PDF

Purpose
Although there have been studies emphasizing the re-education of North Korean (NK) doctors for post-unification of the Korean Peninsula, study on the content and scope of such re-education has yet to be conducted. Researchers intended to set the content and scope of re-education by a comparative analysis for the scores of the preliminary examination, which is comparable to the Korean Medical Licensing Examination (KMLE).
Methods
The scores of the first and second preliminary exams were analyzed by subject using the Wilcoxon signed rank test. The passing status of the group of NK doctors for KMLE in recent 3 years were investigated. The multiple-choice-question (MCQ) items of which difficulty indexes of NK doctors were lower than those of South Korean (SK) medical students by two times of the standard deviation of the scores of SK medical students were selected to investigate the relevant reasons.
Results
The average scores of nearly all subjects were improved in the second exam compared with the first exam. The passing rate of the group of NK doctors was 75%. The number of MCQ items of which difficulty indexes of NK doctors were lower than those of SK medical students was 51 (6.38%). NK doctors’ lack of understandings for Diagnostic Techniques and Procedures, Therapeutics, Prenatal Care, and Managed Care Programs was suggested as the possible reason.
Conclusion
The education of integrated courses focusing on Diagnostic Techniques and Procedures and Therapeutics, and apprenticeship-style training for clinical practice of core subjects are needed. Special lectures on the Preventive Medicine are likely to be required also.

Abstract
PDF

Purpose
This study was conducted to examine the relationship between the prevalence of burnout and its related factors in medical students in Korea.
Methods
All available medical students in the metropolitan city of Daejeon, Korea, were asked to answer self-administered questionnaires from July 1 to July 26 in 2013. A total of 534 medical students participated. The Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey (MBI-SS) and structured questionnaires on related factors were used. Confirmatory factor analysis and Cronbach’s α were used to verify the applicability of the MBI-SS to medical students in Korea. We also performed chi-square test and logistic regression analysis to identify the factors that were associated with burnout.
Results
The MBI-SS was reliable and valid in measuring burnout in Korean medical students. Our confirmatory factor analysis approved and explained the appropriateness of the model fit. The prevalence of burnout among medical students was 26.4% (n=141). Such rates were higher in students who were female, experienced greater levels of depression, had poor academic performance, feared dropping out, and were stressed by the poor quality of the class facilities.
Conclusion
The MBI-SS is a valid instrument to measure academic burnout in Korean medical students. Further studies should be performed, because improvements in the mental health of medical students will benefit these doctors-to-be and their future patients.

Abstract
PDF

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to analyze the differences in the perception of the “good doctor” image between faculty and students, based on the competencies of the “Korean doctor's role.”
Methods
The study sample comprised 418 students and 49 faculty members in medical school. They were asked to draw images of a “good doctor,” and the competencies were then analyzed using the Draw-A-Scientist test and the social network program Netminer 4.0.
Results
Of the competency areas, “communication and collaboration with patient” and “medical knowledge and clinical skills” were the most frequently expressed, and “education and research,” “professionalism,” and “social accountability” were less commonly expressed. Images of a good doctor by the faculty focused on competencies that were directly related to current clinical doctors. Conversely, those by the students expressed various competencies equally.
Conclusion
We have provided basic data for faculties and schools to plan various education strategies to help students establish the image of a good doctor and develop the necessary competencies as physicians.

Purpose
This aim of this study is to examine trends in medical education research in the Korean Journal of Medical Education(KJME) and suggest improvements for medical education research.
Methods
The main variables were keywords from research papers that were published in KJME. Abstracts of papers (n=499) that were published from 1991 through 2015 were analyzed by social network analysis (NetMiner 4.0) a common research method for trends in academic subjects.
Results
The most central keywords were ”medical education,” ”clinical competence,” ”medical student,” and ”curriculum.” After introduction into graduate medical school, newly appearing keywords were ”professional behavior,” ”medical humanities,” ”communication,” and ”physician-patient relation.” Based on these results, we generated a schematic of the network, in which the five groups before introduction to graduate medical school expanded to nine groups after introduction.
Conclusion
Medical education research has been improving qualitatively and quantitatively, and research subjects have been expanded, subdivided, and specific. While KJME has encompassed medical education studies comprehensively, studies on medical students have risen in number. Thus, the studies that are published in KJME were consistent with the direction of journal and a new study on the changes in medical education is being conducted.

What is the current orientation of undergraduate medical education in Korea?: Do-Hwan Kim, Eun Jeong Kim, Jinyoung Hwang, Jwa-Seop Shin, Seunghee Lee; Korean J Med Educ 2015;27(2):87-98.
Published online May 26, 2015; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3946/kjme.2015.27.2.87

Abstract
PDF

Purpose
The educational purpose of a medical school is important, because it guides educational decisions in an individual organization and projects the image of the doctors that we are generating. By analyzing the educational goals of entire medical schools, this study aimed to examine the current orientation and future direction of undergraduate medical education in Korea.
Methods
Educational goals were collected from the website of each medical school and subjected to inductive content analysis. After identifying categories and themes, we examined the differences between medical school subgroups and compared the categories with competencies that have been suggested by the “Korean Doctor's Role.”
Results
Thirteen themes were identified: medical expertise, professionalism, contribution to various levels of society, self-management and development, basic educational ideology, research ability, cooperation, leadership, dealing with future change, respect for life, creativity, problem-solving ability, and ability to educate. There was a significant difference in educational goals between medical schools when grouped by geographic location and affiliation of research-driven hospitals. Of the 16 competencies that are suggested by the Korean Doctor's Role, 12 had one or more corresponding categories.
Conclusion
Per their current educational purposes, Korean medical schools pursue a broad variety of competencies that need cultivating during the course of undergraduate medical education. Further research is needed to determine how best to apply these educational purposes in actual institutions and ultimately lead them to become part of the competency of a graduate.

Abstract
PDF

PURPOSE
To evaluate the clinical performance through the Korean Medical Licensing Examination clinical skills assessment (KMLE CSA) this survey was done.
METHODS
A survey of 130 interns and residents (46 applicants and 84 non-applicants for the KMLE CSA) at a university hospital in Seoul was conducted in January and February 2012. The data were gathered using a structured and self-administered questionnaire. For the items that assessed the clinical performance of these subjects, we selected 15 items that are mostly frequently used by Delphi's technique, and difficult procedural skills based on the results of medical students' performance. We also used subcomponents of the clinical problems test of the KMLE CSA.
RESULTS
The total score on the KMLE CSA improved by 1.33 points (a perfect score is 10), 1.49 points for procedural skills, and 0.84 points for clinical problems by multiple regression analysis. The variables that influenced clinical skills were sex (females had 0.86 more points than males), experience in military or public services (1.04 points higher than persons without experience), and type of school (graduates of medical school had 1.41 more points than graduates of professional graduate school).
CONCLUSION
Implementation of the KMLE CSA improved the clinical performance of medical graduates.

Testing Unidimensionality and Goodness-of-fitness for the Application of Item Response Theory to the Korean Medical Licensing Examination: Mi Kyoung Yim, Sun Huh; Korean J Med Educ 2007;19(2):163-169.
Published online June 30, 2007; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3946/kjme.2007.19.2.163

PURPOSE
In order to apply the item response theory to test results, the assumptions made about unidimensionality and item goodness-of-fitness should be tested before analysis. To know if the Korean Medical Licensing Examination results fulfill these assumptions, appropriate tests were done on these two features.
METHODS
Three results(from three subjects) of the Korean Medical Licensing Examination, done in January 2004, were converted into 1, 0 data. The Holland and Rosenbaum Method(HRMH) and DETECT were used to test unidimensionality. The Winsteps was used to test goodness-of-fitness according to the Rasch model.
RESULTS
Unidimensionality was rejected by HRMH but accepted by DETECT. With the Rasch model, 2 out of 550 items were inadequate. Each 137, 73 and 455 examinees out of 3,881 were inadequate in three subjects of 126, 400 and 24 items.
CONCLUSION
The above results suggest that DETECT is desirable for testing unidimensionality of high-stakes tests with more than 100 items. According to the Rasch model, the Korean Medical Licensing Examination fulfills the goodness-of-fitness to be analyzed according to the item response theory.

Abstract

PURPOSE
We analyzed the correlation between the year-end student academic scores (grade score), the trial examination scores, and the Korean Medical Licensing Examination (KMLE) score by correlation analysis and multiple regression method. METHODS: Our subjects included 217 graduates between the years 2002 and 2003. Yearly, trial examinations, composed according to the principles of KMLE setting, are performed four times. For correlation and regression analysis, all scores were transformed to the standard score according to the standard score norm. RESULTS: In the regression analysis among each grade scores, the lower grade score always affected the higher grade score. Also all academic grade scores correlated significantly with the trial examination scores and KMLE score in bivariate correlation analysis (P< 0.05). But only grade score during the senior years (5th and 6th) affected the trial examination and KMLE score in multiple regression. According to the multiple regressions by each grade score and trial examination score, the 6th grade score and trial exanimation score except the 1st trial examination score have a significant effect on the KMLE score. And we can also establish the regression formula such as [KMLE score]=11.377+0.752*[mean of trail examination] with significant high power of explanation (R (2) =0.709, P< 0.001). CONCLUSION: Our results show that previous scores always affect the latter scores; and the last score in time sequence is a result of the accumulation of previous education and learning. From this point of view, the trial examination is a useful tool for not only the final assessment of medical achievements but also for preparing for the KMLE.

PURPOSE
This study analyzed the correlation between grade point average (GPA) of medical school and the score of Korean Medical Licensing Examination (KMLE). METHODS: This study based on the results of 67th KMLE applicants who graduated from a college of medicine in 2003. We also gathered data of these applicants from the college of medicine: gender, age, type of entrance, GPA of basic medicine, clinical medicine, clinical clerkships and final test scores. We analyzed whether there was discrimination between achievement of KMLE passed and that of KMLE failed, which of variables affected the results of KMLE. RESULTS: 173 applicants passed KMLE among 189. There were significant correlations between basic medicine, clinical medicine, final test score and the score of KMLE (respective p-value; < 0.0001). There were also significant differences of GPA between KMLE passed applicants and failed. Final test scores were the most correlated with those of KMLE. If the GPA of 2nd grade was below 2.5 and the GPA of 3rd year grade was below 2.3, they was a high-risk group for failing KMLE (sensitivity 100%, specificity 90%). CONCLUSION: There were significant correlations between the GPA of medical school and the score of KMLE, and significant differences between KMLE passed applicants and failed. A high-risk group of failing KMLE was the students that the GPA of 2nd grade was below 2.5 and the GPA of 3rd grade was below 2.3.

Evaluation of the Educational Status of Internal Medicine Residency Program in Korea: Byung Soo Kim, Ok Joo Kim, Young Mee Lee, Duk Sun Ahn; Korean J Med Educ 2003;15(1):27-34.
Published online April 30, 2003; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3946/kjme.2003.15.1.27

Abstract
PDF

PURPOSE
This study was performed to evaluate the educational status of medical residents and to find factors that hinder resident education in Korea. METHODS: A survey questionnaire on educational status of residents in internal medicine was developed, and sent to three groups: (1) specialists in internal medicine who are involved in resident training, (2) specialists in internal medicine who are not involved in resident training, and (3) residents who are under training in internal medicine. RESULTS: The surveys revealed that the education to medical residents is mainly focused on delivery of knowledge of specialty. Insufficient or unsatisfactory items in the residents' education are those of skills, attitude, communication skill, leadership, and practical matters concerning medical practice such as insurance. Most respondents replied that medical residents were employed doctors in hospitals rather than trainees to become qualified medical specialists.
CONCLUSION
Residents are supposed to work in hospitals as trainees to become qualified specialists rather than as employed doctors. However, resident education in Korea is hindered by such factors as lack of teaching resources, heavy workload of educating specialists, heavy duty for residents, and lack of teaching skills of resident training staffs.

Current Status of the Standardized Patient Programs in Korea and Plans to Develop and Improve the Program: Byeong Gook Lee; Korean J Med Educ 2001;13(1):27-39.; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3946/kjme.2001.13.1.27

Abstract
PDF

Though SP programs have been used in Korean medical education for half a decade, few of those SP programs have demonstrated psychometric characteristics. In order to be a more useful educational tool, and in to more accurately evaluate Korean Medical students, the standardized patient program needs to be more thoroughly researched and developed. In the near future, if Korean medical educators lend their support and standardize the program in Korea, SPs will be widely adopted across the curriculum because of their potential advantages: from medical interviewing and physical diagnosis courses to clinical clerkships and residency training. This study demonstrates why Korean SP programs need early, systematic collaboration and cooperation among Korean medical colleges through a regional consortium in order to form an agenda for the implementation of SP programs, and realize the implications of this agenda throughout medical education.

A Comparative Study of Item Analysis by Item Response Theory Based for Initiating CAT(Computer Adaptive Test) System: Chang Kyou Lee, Jong Sung Park, Eun Il Lee, Sook Ja Lee, Eun Sook Park, Young Joo Park; Korean J Med Educ 2001;13(1):107-115.; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3946/kjme.2001.13.1.107

Abstract

Prior to CAT, the parameter estimation on executed items should be accomplished by IRT.and the item banking must be build up on the basis of the parameter of difficulty. A program developed by Korea ETS Inc, Bilog and Bigsteps were all found to be very powerful to understand the attributes of items. Though multiple true-false type K items have some merits, the items should be examined quantitatively if they are appropriate or not by IRT. Through the study we have finally confirmed that the new program developed by Korea ETS has its ability to check the validities of items from preparing or scoring to item analysis.
