What Should be Prepared for the Mutual Accreditation for Medical Health Licenses When Korea Opens to Physicians and Dentists from the Rest of the World
The “Law of the Designation and Operation of the Free Economic Zone”, which goes into effect September 28, 2007, will allow foreigners to establish medical institutes in the Free Economic Zone, which includes the Korean cities of Busan, Jinhae, Incheon, and Kwangyang
A medical VISA is not an unconditional accreditation, and test-equating procedures are required at the levels of undergraduate training and graduate training, as well as that of continuing medical education
Summary
Physicians and dentists with a license from a foreign country will be allowed to practice in those institutes, and treat Korean patients. Regarding the basic health rights of people in Korea, both Koreans and foreigners, the accreditation of foreign licenses, without the stipulation that such licenses conform to Korean law, does not meet global standards. If the Korean Government wants to allow foreign medical health personnel to practice in Korea, a mutual agreement on the accreditation of licenses between corresponding countries is necessary.
