Abstract:
The medical school system of Korea was patterned after the system used in the United States. Objective structured clinical examination/complete physical examination will be introduced to the national medical board examination in 2009.Medical educators insist on the importance of clinical clerkships and have introduced simulation-based learning in new curricula.We report on whether this new system is working well or not for possible use in the reform of medical education in Japan.
