Abstract
Apparently, in the field of Traditional Korean Medicine(TKM), lots of papers have been published and they have helped TKM grow quantitatively. But from the inside, there has been a lot of problems like the gap of theory and practice, doubts about necessity of basic theory, and lack of internal communication. There could be many reasons for it, but it could be considered due to the lack of ideal talent that should be goal of teaching and performing TKM. In the field of TKM, the absence of ideal talent of Korean medical doctors(KMD) and inferior social position of KMD than Medical Doctors(MD) has beeb derived from the laws promulgated in Japanese Occupation. These days, KMD should have ability for diagnosis of diseases as primary care and capability for diagnosis and treatment based on TKM theory, therefore careful study of basic theory of TKM is necessary.
