국제표준직업분류나 일본ㆍ미국의 법률시스템, 양성시스템를 통해서 본 안과검사인력은 안과전문의, 검안사, 시능훈련사, 검안기사, 안과기사가 포함된다. 국가통계포털 자료에 의하면 2022년 안과에 근무하는 안경사의 수는 의료기관 종별에 따라 파악이 가능하지만, 임상병리사의 수는 파악이 불가능하다. 다만, 본 연구를 통해서 상급종합병원의 경우 임상병리사가 안경사보다 많이 근무하는 것으로 조사되었다. 우리나라 안과검사실 인력의 경우 국제표준직업분류, 국제표준교육분류, 의료법, 의료기사 등에 관한 법률 및 고등교육법에 비추어 봤을 때, 미국의 검안사는 비교 대상이 아니며 안과전문의나 검안사의 지도를 받아 업무수행하는 검안기사가 부합되는 직업일 것이다. 민간자격으로 대한안과학회 및 대한검안학회에서 안과검사실에 종사하는 임상병리사 및 안경사에게 ‘임상검안사’라는 호칭을 부여하여 새로이 자격관리를 정립한다면 국민 안(眼)보건 향상에 더욱 도움이 되리라 생각된다.
Abstract
The education and training system, the ISCO (International Standard Classification of Occupations), and the legal systems of Japan and the United States consider all ophthalmic optometry laboratory personnel as ophthalmologists. They encompass optometrists, orthoptists, optometric technicians, and ophthalmic medical technicians. Data retrieved from the KOSIS (Korean Statistical Information Service) revealed that the number of opticians associated with the department of ophthalmology in 2022 could be appraised by classifying their medical institutions; contrarily, the number of clinical laboratory technologists could not be assessed. However, the current research investigated a general tertiary hospital and determined that clinical laboratory technologists outnumber opticians. Classification in Korea is based on ophthalmic optometry laboratory personnel, ISCO, ISCED (International Standard Classification of Education), the medical service act, the act on medical service technologists, and the higher education act. These results cannot be compared to the optometrists evaluated in the United States. Ophthalmology is a suitable profession for optometric technologists and technicians who perform under the instructions of ophthalmologists and optometrists. The field of eye healthcare would be benefitted by assigning the management based on their qualification according to the requirement of the job title, such as ‘Clinical Optometry Technologist’ to be given to clinical laboratory technologists and opticians who work in the ophthalmic optometry laboratories after obtaining a private qualification endowed by the Korean Ophthalmological Society and the Korean Optometry Society.
