The accreditation process is both an opportunity and a burden for medical schools in Korea. The line that separates the two is based onhow medical schools recognize and utilize the accreditation process. In other words, accreditation is a burden for medical schools if theyview the accreditation process as merely a formal procedure or a means to maintain accreditation status for medical education. However, if medical schools acknowledge the positive value of the accreditation process, accreditation can be both an opportunity and a toolfor developing medical education. The accreditation process has educational value by catalyzing improvements in the quality, equity,and efficiency of medical education and by increasing the available options. For the accreditation process to contribute to medical education development, accrediting agencies and medical schools must first be recognized as partners of an educational alliance workingtogether towards common goals. Secondly, clear guidelines on accreditation standards should be periodically reviewed and shared. Finally, a formative self-evaluation process must be introduced for institutions to utilize the accreditation process as an opportunity to develop medical education. This evaluation system could be developed through collaboration among medical schools, academic societiesfor medical education, and the accrediting authority.
Abstract
The accreditation process is both an opportunity and a burden for medical schools in Korea. The line that separates the two is based onhow medical schools recognize and utilize the accreditation process. In other words, accreditation is a burden for medical schools if theyview the accreditation process as merely a formal procedure or a means to maintain accreditation status for medical education. However, if medical schools acknowledge the positive value of the accreditation process, accreditation can be both an opportunity and a toolfor developing medical education. The accreditation process has educational value by catalyzing improvements in the quality, equity,and efficiency of medical education and by increasing the available options. For the accreditation process to contribute to medical education development, accrediting agencies and medical schools must first be recognized as partners of an educational alliance workingtogether towards common goals. Secondly, clear guidelines on accreditation standards should be periodically reviewed and shared. Finally, a formative self-evaluation process must be introduced for institutions to utilize the accreditation process as an opportunity to develop medical education. This evaluation system could be developed through collaboration among medical schools, academic societiesfor medical education, and the accrediting authority.
