Almost all professions organize into their own occupational organizations, Through these organizations, professionals try to awaken to and pursue their own group interests. Moreover, the members of a profession endeavor to develop an occupational ideology through their organization. Based on this occupational ideology, these individuals try to expand the span of their control on the occupation's related areas. Finally, they work to build an organizational structure that can be easily reproduced so as to facilitate the creation of new branches of the organization in the future. Efforts toward strengthening the organization and securing its status have greatly affected the professionalization of Korean oriental medicine. In 1952, a Korean Oriental Medicine Doctors' organization was created, and since then it has developed rapidly. Since the 1970s, many colleges of Korean oriental medicine have opened and the number of Korean oriental medicine doctors has grown. Many branches of the initial Korean Oriental Medicine Doctors' organization have been established, and as a result, these organizations have developed in quantity as well as in quality.
