Programs that promote health through schools (school health programs), when delivered through schools that are themselves organized to promote health (health-promoting schools), are one of the essential means through which the twin goals of "Health for All by the Year 2000" and "Education for All" can be achieved. There are numerous evidences that school health programs are cost-effective and highly beneficial for adolescents themselves and communities they are belonged to. These days, the world's trend for school health programs has two directions. One is that to achieve best goals for school health, well-organized efforts are needed from governments, communities, schools, parents, and doctors. So, a new concept of 'comprehensive school health programs' is emerging. The other is that physicians should play an active roles not only for the school health promotion and school health education but also for the other steps including marking polices, and advising community members who are concerned with school health services. Now, it is also time for Korean doctors to be an advocate for comprehensive school programmes and to participate actively in those programs.

The doctor's order system of electronic anamnesis is the bridge between HIS system and a much better service, especially when the HIS system is focused on its billing function. In practice, we continuously perfect and better the interface and functions of medical advising inputs to effectively standardize doctors' orders and lessen mistakes. It can also enhance working efficiency, and set a valid platform for medical billing management, rationalized drug use management, antibiotic classification management, clinical application, etc.

OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated cognition, core values and attributes of medical professionalism in occupational and environmental physicians, and was conducted to have basic data for suggesting proper role models of occupational and environmental physicians. METHODS: Perceptions of reality and the priority of professionalism virtues in occupational and environmental medicine were evaluated by using a self-administered questionnaire, completed by 109 occupational and environmental physicians in Korea. The physicians were divided into two sub-groups: the resident group and the board certified specialist group. There are 4 questions about perceptions of reality and survey respondents gave 5-scale scores to each of 10 professionalism virtues in the questionnaire. The statistical significance of the perception difference between two groups was given by a cross tabulation analysis. Priority difference between each 10 professionalism virtue between the two groups was analyzed through Student T-test by using the SPSS 17.0K program. Afterwards, the type of medical professionalism in occupational and environmental medicine was analyzed based on the results of the questionnaire. RESULTS: This study provided us with the information that specialists had more optimistic views about reality of occupational and environmental medicine than residents. 10 virtues of medical professionalism were listed in the order of priority, highest to lowest. Occupational and environmental physicians valued 'technical competence', 'professional dominance', and 'morality', but 'altruism' had the lowest score. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated that the occupational and environmental physicians's type of medical professionalism didn't match any of the seven types of medical professionalism from Castellani & Hafferty, although 'empirical type', 'nostalgic type' were partially similar to the occupational and environmental physician's type of medical professionalism. This is assumed because the occupational and environmental medicine field is different from other clinical medicine in terms of the physician's role. Further studies and discussions are necessary for establishing a suitable model of medical professionalism for occupational and environmental physicians.

Physicians with their medical background and high caliber play key roles in a wide variety of areas in biopharmaceutical industry. In fact when we look though the array of people in most global pharmaceutical companies, it is easy to find physicians working in various areas, playing various roles, at different levels such as medical affairs, R&D, clinical operations, marketing, regulatory, pharmacovigilance, etc. Conventional doctor-patient relationship is essential to deliver medical care to individual patients. However, for any treatment to be delivered to patients, there are many physicians working in the industry to make that possible by developing new drugs, making sure they are safe and effective, setting values to new treatments, figuring out ways to lower cost and increase accessibilities, assessing adverse effects to minimize risks, making policies, and so on. In Korea, however, although the situation is getting better nowadays, physicians have themselves limited their scope of involvement in biopharmaceutical industry. The lack of necessary medical expertise is widespread throughout all aspects. Regulatory agencies, pharmaceutical and medical policy making bodies, pharmaceutical companies, bio-venture companies, clinical and preclinical contract research organizations, health information technology industry, medical devices companies, all are in need of physician participation. Global biopharmaceutical industry is one of the most competitive areas that only the toughest can survive. Korea is aiming to become one of the world leaders in this field as we have achieved in IT, electronic, and automobile industries. Physicians' commitment can make the difference.
