Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the current educational environment of Oriental medicine and to develop a future-oriented curriculum for traditional Korean medicine in Uzbekistan. The questionnaire used in this research was based on the current curriculum.
Methods: This study was carried out by distributing questionnaires to 120 students (5th year in Tashkent medical academy in Uzbekistan) in order to examine the coursed’s efficacy for the attainment of oriental medical knowledge.
Results: 1. Among the respondents, 69.6% of them have already studied oriental medicine. 2. The respondents felt that the class in Oriental medicine was effective (88.3%). Moreover, they felt that understanding traditional Korean medicine was also beneficial (81.6%). However, 52.5% of them have responded that the class seemed difficult. 3. Among Uzbeki medical students, 64.9% of them have shown interest in acupuncture and moxibustion, 38.4% in traditional Korean herbology and pharmacognosy. 4. We also found that 63.8% of them have desired to have more specific studies in traditional Korean medicine.
Conclusion: According to our results, developing adequate textbooks, teaching methods, and qualities of instructors should be considered as alternatives for the successful generalization of traditional Korean medicine in Uzbekistan.
