Abstract
Research mirrors the reality of clinical practice in a society. Korean medicine (KM) shares many medical theories, principles, and interventions with other Traditional Eastern Asian Medicines (TEAM) which is due to Korea's interaction over the last two millennia with its geographical neighbors. Korean medicine however has developed specific clinical approaches and characteristics which can be observed when studying Korean medicine practitioners. These distinctive features and characteristics of Korean medicine have arisen due to the unique medical environment and resources shaped by the geological, cultural, and economic forces of ancient and modern Korea. We believe that the unique features of KM have evolved not only through the influence of the larger TEAM regional activity but also through the influence of local regional KM practices.
Highlights
Since modern biomedicine has become the mainstream medicine in Korea, legislation and regulation have restricted Korean medicine (KM) practice to classical medical theory and its associated diagnostic framework and traditional treatment approaches

Since modern biomedicine has become the mainstream medicine in Korea, legislation and regulation have restricted KM practice to classical medical theory and its associated diagnostic framework and traditional treatment approaches. This has meant that KM doctors have been prohibited to use newly developed and conventional diagnostic imaging tools such as computed tomography and ultrasonography as part of their practice
Summary
Since modern biomedicine has become the mainstream medicine in Korea, legislation and regulation have restricted KM practice to classical medical theory and its associated diagnostic framework and traditional treatment approaches. Editorial Korean Medicine in General Practice: Current Status, Challenges, and Vision in Clinical Evidence Research mirrors the reality of clinical practice in a society.
