Abstract

|
South Korea’s medical education history is intertwined with its explosive economic growth. In the 1980s, the Korean government opened the medical education industry to the private sector. The desired results for the schools were twofold: (1) to meet the needs of the healthcare system with a growing economy; and (2) to generate positive economic gain in local communities. These intentions were clear in the government’s instructions: In order to open a medical school, the founding body had to also build a 500-bed teaching hospital in the same region. The government, in return, would provide tax exemptions or deductions to the hospital by categorizing it as an educational facility. With the flourishing economy, many schools and hospitals were established across South Korea over the following two decades.
