Abstract
The study aims to examine the necessity and effectiveness of integrating medical education system into a 6-year curriculum combing premedical and medical education. To this end, focus group interview questions were developed based on the review of literature on medical education system. Interviews were then conducted with 10 faculty members and 4 medical students. The findings are as follows. The participants held a positive perception of the 6-year integrated medical education curriculum. The 6-year integrated curriculum are anticipated to address issues inherent in the 2+4 medical education system, including a fragmented curriculum, diminished learning motivation, heightened learning burden, and biased career choices. Also, the education of transfer students, the development of a physician-scientist system, and the suitability of the new curriculum were suggested as discussion issues. Based on the results, practical implications are proposed for the 6-year integrated medical education system.
