This paper demonstrates the properties of technical terms in general and introduces the efforts to refine the medical terms in contemporary Korean. There are many Sino-Korean terms which are too difficult to comprehend in the medical field. In the ⌜Medical Termonology ; the 4th edition⌟, we suggest many original Korean words be substituted for the Sino-Korean words. This suggestion has been made with cautin and it is hoped that the new terms will gradually replace the traditional Sino-Korean terms.

Korean Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (KAOG) was established semicentury ago (1947). Even Korea faced a massive destrcution, political and economic crisis during Korean war, but KAOG bad developed more and more. Finally, KAOG has developed a stable association now. Now not only KAOG is a firm association domestically but also engages in an international association (e.g. AOFG, FIGO, SOINTF) and gives much contribution. Even now KAOG faces a hard-time, but I hope that KAOG will develop a prospective association in 21th century with an effort to educate many young researchers.

Concerning our medical history, the importance of medical terms has been neglected for a long time. In addition, medical terminologies are unaccustomed to the patients including the public. The separation of communications between the public and medical participants has been enlarged more and more. The importance of terms which can be easily recognized, comfortable to the ear, and familiar to the public have arose to the point when the Korean Medical Association established a medical terms enactment in 1976 and made the first series of medical terms. These efforts have been continued to the second in 1983, the third in 1992 and the fourth series in 2001. Throughout this revision, we wish new terms of fourth series may contribute to the better communication between the doctors and patients. It will be able to function as a better and enhanced tool to the public who require medical information. The terms of present lecture are based on the fourth series of medical terms. Because it is irrational to use all the reformed terms, in this lecture we have used the most commonly used clinical terms as a hope for the pediatricians to give better medical treatment.
