의과대학생들의 의학 전문직업성에 대한 자기평가 = Medical Students' Self Assessment on Medical Professionalism

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Purpose: Medical professionalism has become a very popular theme in medical education
since 2000. Despite the high interest, not alot of variety of studies have been done. In particular,
it is very difficult to find a study focusing on the professionalism level of medical students; and
none exists in Korea. The purpose of this study is to examine the level of medical professionalism
in medical students and the differences between the academic years.
Methods: Of the 41 medical schools in Korea, eight were sampled randomly. From these,
2,590 medical students were finally chosen for the survey. Independent t-test and one-way Anova
were used to analyse the differences between the academic years.
Results: The level of medical professionalism (medical knowledge, skills and attitude) of
premedical students and medical students all appeared to be below average or average. For
premedical students, differences were seen in ‘professional knowledge’ but still at a below
average level. By graduation, medical students showed an overall increase in all three domains
of medical professionalism, especially in ‘professional attitude’. Their scores, however, did not
reach more than average.
Conclusion: There are specific areas of weaknesses in medical professionalism in students;
and as their level of professionalism was not satisfactory even by the time of graduation, medical
educators need to reconsider the present medical professionalism curriculum and investigate ways
to improve the level of medical professionalism in medical students.
