P04.18. Current status of the dual medical license holders in Korea

چکیده
Purpose Korea’s medical system, comprising of conventional western medicine (CWM) and traditional Korean medicine (TKM), is at the same time dichotomistic and dualistic. TKM has its own systems for education and national licensing. While there is a sharp distinction between the practices of medical doctors (MD) and TKM doctors (TKMD) legally, there are also many conflicts arising from crossover practices in reality. Dual medical license holders (DMD) having both MD and TKMD licenses are increasing because of this contradictory situation. This study aims to investigate the status of DMDs and provide basic data for developing strategies of cooperation between CWM and TKM.
