Objectives : This study aimed to provide basic data for future policies regarding the expansion of health insurance, through investigating the current status of Oriental herbal medicine insurance as perceived by the public. Methods : Questionnaire was developed through literature searches, in-depth interviews, item generation and item reduction. The questionnaires were further refined by a focus group. 221 surveys were retrieved from the general public. Results : The in-depth interviews, reveal that the public is aware of the various forms of Oriental herbal medicine formulas, except for the use of mixture of which are soluble granules covered by insurance. The public awareness of the soluble granules turned out to be so low that enhanced awareness of it is required. The public identified decoctions as the most preferred formula as well as the most effective formulas out of all Oriental herbal medical formulas. They also suggested that it should be the first to be included when the insurance policy expands in the future. The public had frequent experienced not choosing Oriental herbal prescription due to the high cost. Insurance coverage of Oriental herbal prescription is much needed. The public indicated that they will make frequent visits to the KMD if the insurance covers Oriental herbal prescriptions. Conclusions : The current status quo of Oriental herbal medicine insurance showed that the public identified decoctions as the most preferred, most effective and the top priority to be covered by insurance.

Objectives : This study aimed to overview the current education status of a traditional medicine by medical schools in Japan. Methods : We surveyed the literatures regarding a traditional medicine education in Japan, and get the information via email-interview with an officer of medical schools in Japan as well as from their websites. Results : Japan's education ministry presented the appropriateness of education for traditional medicine to medical students in 2001, and most of medical schools begun to set up the classes in Japan. We received the detail information of the traditional medicine education from 21 medical schools. Nineteen colleges(approximately 90%) of those have the regular classes for traditional medicine while two colleges don't have the education program for the traditional medicine. Most of medical schools have single class for introduction of traditional medicine, and have average $16.2{\pm}8.8$ hours during the $4^{th}$ grade(61.9%). Conclusions : We presented the general feature of education for traditional medicine in Japan, and this result would be basic information for an establishment of a strategy regarding the enhancement of national competitiveness of traditional Korean medicine.

Traditional medicine has been integrated into the national health system in many countries such as Korea, China, Taiwan, etc. Korea and China are most representative among them. The purpose of this study is to compare the policies on traditional medicine in Korea and China focusing on where it came from and where it is headed. In this regard, the study suggested the first analysis tool in the world for analyzing the policy of traditional medicine. The results of the study are as follows: First of all, the development process of Korean Medicine (KM) and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) shows the same pattern, that is, both are influenced by its own national policies. Secondly, the difference between the two countries is due to the gap in the development status or the different aspects in national heath system. TCM is more vitalized in health system and has larger category, and stays ahead in globalization compared to KM. TCM covers Chinese medicine, integrative medicine and ethno-medicine. Korea emphasizes the role of KM in the declining birthrate and aging society, and promotes the overseas patient invitation strategy. China, on the other hand, establishes the medical system for emergency medical treatment and preventive treatment of major diseases and promotes overseas expansion of TCM service. In addition, Korea stressed the safety and distribution of herbal medicine, and China emphasizes production technologies. Korea has a strong medical device industry along with the government's fostering policy; however, in China, medical devices are in the R&D stage yet. Even though both countries promotes the drug development from natural products, Korea focuses on developing herbal cosmetics in application industry, but China shows weakness in policies on application industry. China shores up the foundation for culture and theory of traditional medicine, while Korea doesn't have related policy. Korea places emphasis on promoting collaboration with international organizations and medical volunteer programs, whereas China is more interested in mutual cooperation and real trade with other countries.

전통적 유방염치료에서 변화는 현대적 우유생산 설비인 덴마크의 연구로부터 나온 결과와 문헌적 고찰을 배경으로 논의된 것이다. 덴마크의 전통적 농장운영제도는 전통적 농부들의 현대화와 1987년에 변화 시킨 정부의 규제법규로 제도화된 것에 의하여 근본적인 형태의 목표로 특성화되어 진다. 모든 질병은 품종, 우사 설비, 사료공급과 경영작전을 통하여 예방되어지는 전통적 농장운영체제에 대한 지침에 의존되어야 하였다. 치료의 농가 선택에 대하여 특별히 관심을 둔 정부규칙은 1. 모든 의학적 예방은 금지된다. 2. 의학적 치료에 뒤 따르는 배출시간은 전통적 농장운영에 비하여 3배가 연장된다. 3. 모든 치료는 수의사에 의하여 수행되어야 한다. 연구는 예방과 치료작전에 초점을 맞춘 전통적 농장운영체제에서 수행한 것이다. 이 과제에서 몇 가지 유방염은 농가자신의 치료로 설명되었으며 그 내용은 다음과 같다. 각 목장에서 유방염은 마싸지 시행과 캠퍼(camphor)또는 페퍼민트오일(pebbermint oil)의 국소응용 그리고 어떤 목장은 동종 요법적 치료(同種 療法的 治療 = Homoeopathic treatment)로 손착유로 하고 농가자신이 치료하였다. 이 결과에서 농부자신의 치료와 수의사 치료가 보여 준 것은 성공 사이에 유의한 차이가 없다. 변화와 전통적 치료에 추가하여 비의학적 치료가 검토되었다. 유방염 건에서 농부 대 수의사 역할은 유방염 문제점이 있는 목장에 근거하면은 똑같다고 검토되었다. 동종 요법적 치료의 문헌연구는 경험을 통하여 수행되어진 것이다. 현 과제는 목장의 치료작전 안에서 종합되고 있는 동종 요법적 치료의 실제적 현상이 설명되고 있다 동종요법은 어떤 건에서 반응이 제안될 수 있는 유방염치료와 관계되는 치료 방법이다. 그러나 덴마크의 경험에서 전통은 유방염 건에서 치료의 선택에 영향이 있을 것이라는 것으로 비교적 제한되어 있다 이 치료에 대한 원리의 배경을 검토하였다.

Purpose : The acupuncture existed more than 2000 years and has flourished not only in Asia but also in medical field of modern world. In addition, empirical evidences from biomedicine have been expended in many ways in order to objectify the field of acupuncture. Thus, the effect and mechanism of the acupuncture has been revealed in human and other animals. In this article, I attempt to explain what doctors and patients subjectively experience through acupuncture treatment and its clinical significance based on mind-body medicine. Methods : The experience and clinical significance of the acupuncture was examined in the view of mind-body medicine, also reviewed research trends related to meditation understanding the clinical effectiveness of acupuncture. Results and Conclusions : Traditional Korean medical doctor perceive generally "jogi " and "chishin " meaning the regulation of the balance of the various functions in the human body and patient's consciousness and psychology state as mightily important concept concerning the therapeutic effect of acupuncture. Despite scientific approach to objective understanding of the acupuncture was performed in the meantime, practitioners put emphasis on experience based on sensate and interaction between doctor-patient. As it reflects the recent understanding of the psychological effects associated with the clinical efficacy of acupuncture, it has been presented one by one through neuroscience and cognitive science. Therefore it is important that interpreting the clinical effectiveness of acupuncture into Mind-body medicine can form a new awareness and attitudes toward traditional medicine.

한국의 전통의학은 유구한 역사를 가지고 있지만, 20세기초 일제의 강제합병과 서구문물의 무분별한 유입과정을 거치면서 단절된 역사를 가지고 있다. 명칭에 관해서도 원래 의학(醫學)으로 통칭되던 것이 동의학(東醫學), 한의학(漢醫學)으로 불리기도 하였고 1985년에는 한국적인 특색을 살린 '한의학(韓醫學)'으로 정식 개칭되어 지금까지 사용되고 있다. 본고는 일제시대이후 한의학의 변천과정을 조선말일제강점기이후부터 한의학의 변천을 시대별로 중요사안별로 정리한 연구이며, 현대 한의학의 교육과정의 일람을 통해 현재 한의학의 특색을 규명하였다.
