Abstract:
Two years of postgraduate medical education will soon be required. We propose an 8-year integrated curriculum for the organic combination of the undergraduate and postgraduate education. In postgraduate education, clinical professors should responsibly train junior physicians as part of a systematic programs. The curriculum must include not only medical knowledge and skills but also clinical ethics for 8 years, which will contribute to the development of qualified physician desired by society.
