Abstract

Objective : We reviewed WFME2020 and compare it with WFME 2015 and KAS2021 to find similarities and differences. It will be used as basic data for future evaluation and certification criteria development. Method : WFME 2020 and WFME 2015 were translated and summarized around the core content. The structure of each standard was analyzed and organized, and then, based on the WFME 2020 standard items corresponding to each item were arranged in the items of WFME 2015 and KAS2021. Two authors translated and compared them separately, and if the content was different or the intention of the translation was different, the final revision was made after sufficient discussion. Results: The WFME 2020 standard consists of 8 major areas and 21 sub-areas. The WFME 2020 has a structural change compared to the 9 major and 35 sub-areas of WFME 2015. The importance of the mission is being emphasized, the curriculum and student selection have been changed so that they can be adjusted according to the local situation, and the areas of evaluation and program evaluation have been strengthened. Conclusion : Overall, the increased autonomy of schools and institutions seems positive from the standpoint of Korean Medicine education evaluation certification, but additional research and education are needed for the strengthened areas. In order to develop the WFME 2020 standard to the certification criteria in the future, in-depth discussion and consensus will be required in consideration of the characteristics of Korean Medicine.
