Following the opening of 12 new medical schools in Korea in the 1980s, standardization and accreditation of medical schools came tothe forefront in the early 1990s. To address the medical community’s concerns about the quality of medical education, the KoreanCouncil for University Education and Ministry of Education conducted a compulsory medical school evaluation in 1996 to see whether medical schools were meeting academic standards or not. This evaluation was, however, a norm-referenced assessment, rather than acriterion-referenced assessment. As a result, the Accreditation Board for Medical Education in Korea (ABMEK) was founded in 1998as a voluntary organization by the medical community. With full support of the Korean medical community, ABMEK completed its 1stcycle of evaluations of all 41 medical schools from 2000 to 2004. In 2004, ABMEK changed its name to the Korean Institute of MedicalEducation and Evaluation (KIMEE) as a corporate body. After that, the Korean government paid closer attention to its voluntary accreditation activities. In 2014, the Ministry of Education officially recognized the KIMEE as the 1st professional institute for higher education evaluation and accreditation. The most important lesson learned from ABMEK/KIMEE is the importance of collaborationamong all medical education-related organizations, including the Korean Medical Association.
Abstract
Following the opening of 12 new medical schools in Korea in the 1980s, standardization and accreditation of medical schools came tothe forefront in the early 1990s. To address the medical community’s concerns about the quality of medical education, the KoreanCouncil for University Education and Ministry of Education conducted a compulsory medical school evaluation in 1996 to see whether medical schools were meeting academic standards or not. This evaluation was, however, a norm-referenced assessment, rather than acriterion-referenced assessment. As a result, the Accreditation Board for Medical Education in Korea (ABMEK) was founded in 1998as a voluntary organization by the medical community. With full support of the Korean medical community, ABMEK completed its 1stcycle of evaluations of all 41 medical schools from 2000 to 2004. In 2004, ABMEK changed its name to the Korean Institute of MedicalEducation and Evaluation (KIMEE) as a corporate body. After that, the Korean government paid closer attention to its voluntary accreditation activities. In 2014, the Ministry of Education officially recognized the KIMEE as the 1st professional institute for higher education evaluation and accreditation. The most important lesson learned from ABMEK/KIMEE is the importance of collaborationamong all medical education-related organizations, including the Korean Medical Association.
