Almost Same As Japan

Facts on 1st Workshop

• Workshop Material : All were in English.

• Participants: Forty four MD professors from 33 nationwide universities of all 41

Differences with Japan Workshop

• Free of charge in registration

• No foreign participants

• Participants were selected by the deans of me

dical colleges and academic socieities.

• All Participants were MD professors.

The 2nd Korea P-drug Workshop

The 2nd Korea P-drug Workshop

• Thirty three medical professors from 19

universities.

• Similar program to the 1st workshop

• Difference with 1st workshop

participants, domestic university professors.

P-drug for Undergraduate

P-drug for Undergraduates• Seoul National University

– PBL module for 2nd year students. 2002-05, 3-days course– Korean version, consulted to endocrinologist to remove any e

rror or unrealistic situation– Three cases: DM, DM with hypertension with/without hyperch

olesterolemia

• Yonsei University– Some professors use their own bedside teaching time for p-d

rug education.

• Korea University– In developing of PBL module for undergraduates

• Many unreported activities

Future Plan• Workshop for intra-university

professors– Prerequisite for resident, medical

student training

• Workshop for primary physicians– Especially become important with

the separation of prescription from dispensing drugs

– Most easy

• Workshop for residents– Most difficult due to lack of time and

facilitators

Good Strategy for Propagation

• Work with persons in authority like deans

• Cooperation among several medical academic societies like society of pharmacology, society of internal medicine, society of medical education

• Free or little of charge – Need sponsors

• Separation of PBL module developing from simple facilitatoring– Module developing is much more difficult than the facilitating.

• Shorten the workshop course time

• Highly recommend intra-mural workshop
