Purposes : The Purpose of this study was to review a current status on acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine in Canada focusing on the rules of regulatory bodies of 5 states including legislation history, development in professional self-regulation, education and evaluation system. Methods : Based on literature review, we studied on 5 legislated states cases, educational accreditation status and licensure system. We also interviewed on a person who is a chair of CTCMA & CARB-TCMPA and more TCM practitioners in British Columbia within educational topics. Results & Conclusions : Acupuncture legislations have been approved by the governments in Canada between 1988 and 2014 within the acceptance of self-regulation. Since then, regulatory bodies in each states have tried to strengthen their duties and rights as a healthcare professionals. Based on firm laws and regulations, occupational competency-based education in acupuncture and TCM has been gradually improved and established quite well in parallel with a development of higher educational system in Canada.

New occupational qualification system built on NCS(National Competency Standard) aimed to induce industries, the final appliers of qualification, to play a leading role in designing qualification and to spontaneously apply such qualification standard to employment and promotion so as to reinforce universality of qualification. In this study, we verified the validity of NCS level of qualification categories for 130 occupational fields by redesigning NCS-based new occupational qualification system with a focus on 7 major areas, including mechanical field, which were found to have wide-ranging social ripple effect throughout society and high acceptability in 2014. The results of study on suitability at qualification level suggested the followings: First, there is a difference in number of competency units for each qualification category, depending on area. New qualification covering 7 major areas included 15.3 competency units for each qualification category, which exceeds the number of competency units(about 10 units) in subdivided NCS. By field, some difference was found with 7.9 competency units for cultural field and 22.6 competency units for information and communication area. Second, preference above normal level was observed in the criteria, procedure and method for determining qualification redesigning. However, preference below normal level was exhibited in connection with possibility of linkage with overseas qualifications, although preference was above normal level in relation to the suitability of design/qualification level and qualification categories based on lifelong career development path within scope of NCS as the criteria for determining the redesign of qualification categories. Second, we compared NCS level and SC(Sector Council level, and the results showed that NCS level was found to be somewhat well-defined. For the qualifications with different definitions, it was deemed difficult to determine superiority between NCS level and SC level. However, majority opinion indicated that it would be desirable to follow NCS level because NCS was created through collection of opinions for a prolonged period.

This paper focuses on the outcome-based curriculum of Inje University College of Medicine to describe our curriculum development process and results. Starting in 2006, we have revised the curriculum based on the competency-based clinical presentation curriculum. We stated clearly the learning outcomes from the social needs and educational goal of our university. We defined 8 exit outcomes and specified phase outcomes, course outcomes, lesson outcomes, and outcome objectives. By 2012, we identified 128 clinical presentations and 149 basic scientific concepts. Various evaluation and assessment methods and teaching-learning strategies were assigned to each outcome. Problem-based learning, standardized patient practice, and learning portfolios are the main strategies of our curriculum. We have performed a progress test to assess the level of achievement of students' outcomes. We have also collected feedback from students and faculty members about the curriculum, including every lesson, course, and the overall curriculum. To maintain this change of the curriculum, we reorganized the curriculum committee, educational faculty and teams, and administrative support system. To fine tune this curriculum, we have held three 3-day workshops on curriculum development and weekly meetings. We believe this is just the beginning of developing the curriculum of Inje University. Further upgrades will be necessary to continue to improve medical education.

산업체 수요를 대학의 교육과정 속에 효율적으로 수용해낼 수 있는 방법이 없을까? 라는 질문에서 본 연구는 시작되었다. NCS라는 거시적인 흐름을 어떻게 하면 능동적으로 수용하고 대처할 수 있는가에 대한 방법론을 고민하고 제시한 연구이다. 대학 내 개별학과에서 NCS를 적용하기 위해서는 산업계 인사들과 함께 합리적 절차에 따라 교육과정을 개편해야 한다. 즉, 대학에서 NCS에 대한 이해를 바탕으로 적용을 위한 타당한 절차를 따라야 할 것이며, 본 연구에서는 이러한 NCS 기반 교육과정 개발 절차를 다음과 같이 제시하였다. 첫째, 대학에서는 관련 산업 전망 및 대학 내 교수자원과 지역 산업과의 관련성이나 향후 취업전망, 산업인력수요 등을 고려하여 적용하고자 하는 NCS 세분류를 명확히 선정해야 한다. 둘째, 대학의 교육목표와 선정된 NCS 분류체계상의 세분류 목표를 절충하여 학과의 인재양성유형을 설정하고, 직무모형을 작성한다. 이 과정에서 NCS 세분류 상의 능력단위 뿐만 아니라, 학과에서 필요로 하는 NCS 기초과목과 응용과목 등에 해당하는 대학자체 능력단위를 추가하여 작성해야 한다. 셋째, NCS 세분류별 직무모형 검증 단계에서 각각의 능력단위요소에 대한 교육과정 적용 여부를 파악하여 학과의 직무모형을 완성한다. 넷째, 직무모형 내 능력단위에 대응하여 교과목을 도출하고, 학칙에 따른 시수 및 학점과 함께 해당 교과목들이 어떠한 내용을 어떠한 방식으로 운영하고 평가해야 하는지에 대한 교과목 명세서를 명확히 작성한다. 다섯째, NCS 기반 교과목들의 교육 시기에 따른 전후 관계를 파악하고, 각 학기 혹은 학년별로 교과목을 어떻게 배치하고 운영할 것인지에 대한 로드맵을 작성한다. 해당 로드맵을 통해 추후 과정평가형 자격제도의 도입 여부를 결정할 수 있는 직무능력성취도의 기본틀이 완성될 수 있다. 대학 내에서 NCS 기반 교육과정이 성공적으로 정착하기 위해서는 무엇보다도 대학 내 구성원들 즉, 교수와 학생, 직원들이 NCS의 필요성에 대하여 공감하는 것이 선행되어야 한다. 기존의 교수자 중심의 교육과정과 달리 수요자 중심의 NCS 교육과정은 처음부터 끝까지 대학 구성원들의 많은 희생과 헌신을 담보해야 가능하기 때문에, 이에 대한 적절한 보상 예컨대 과정평가형 혹은 과정이수형 국가기술자격의 부여 등이 마련되어야 할 것이다.
