“…Currently, acupuncture is the most common treatment modality used by doctors of Korean medicine (KM) [6]. However, studies on acupuncture education are very limited, even though they are incorporated into a one-year course within a six-year KM curriculum [7].…”

Background Acupuncture has expanded worldwide, but there are no studies on effective acupuncture training. We implemented and evaluated a new acupuncture training program using a rapid prototyping instructional system design model. Methods A training program was implemented in a college of Korean Medicine in 2022/2023. We used a mixed-methods design to examine student satisfaction, challenges, and solutions to the program through an evaluation survey and in-depth interviews. Communication skills were measured using a pre- and post-course self-efficacy questionnaire, paired t-test, or Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Qualitative data were coded and categorized using thematic analysis. Results Thirty-five students completed the communication questionnaire. The mean total score increased significantly after the course. The 45 responses to the reaction evaluation indicated overall satisfaction as 97.8%, augmented by their reasons. Interviews indicated that competency in locating acupuncture points and performing acupuncture was achieved through repeated hands-on practice. Future improvements include providing more practice time for students and gradually increasing the amount of learning. Conclusion The acupuncture training program improved clean needle technique, point location finding, and communication skills required for clinical practice. Further research is needed to expand the program to other regions and professions using acupuncture to objectively evaluate the program’s external validity.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to review trends in Korean medical education research.Method: We searched Korean Medicine Education research in 4 domestic and 4 international datebases. The studies were analyzed with journal, year, keyword and detailed topic, word frequency in research context, divided into four categories: basic Korean medicine, clinical Korean medicine, medical humanities, education.Result: 128 Korean studies and 30 International studies, total 158 studies, published from 1993 to 2024 have been selected. Research on Korean medicine education has been consistently published every year since 2003, by 61 journals. The period when the most papers were published was 2020, with 16 papers. Journal of Physiology & Pathology in Korean Medicine published a relatively large number of studies, with 19. Among the keywords divided into 4 categories according to Institute of Korean Medicine Education & Evaluation, studies related to 'basic medicine' were the most with 45 cases. When classified into detailed topics, there were 40 papers related to 'subject', and 21 papers related to ‘awareness’.Discussion and Conclusion: The study suggests that Korean medicine education method and curriculum should be developed. As educational research and method progresses, the corresponding curriculum has to be improved and applied to the field. This study would contribute to the foundation of Korean medicine education.

Objectives : Instructional design is the systematic approach to the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation of learning materials and activities. We aimed to apply the rapid prototyping to instructional systems design (RPISD) in meridianology laboratory, a subject in which students train acupuncture to develop lesson plan. Methods : The needs of the stakeholders including client, subject matter expert and students were analyzed using the performance needs analysis model. Task analysis was implemented by observation and interview. First prototype was drafted and implemented in meridianology laboratory class once. The second prototype was modified from the first, by usability evaluation of the stakeholders. Results : The client requested an electronically documented manual to improve the quality of acupuncture training. The learner requested an extension of practice time and detailed practice guidelines. The main problems of students' performance were some cases of violation of clean needle technique, the lack of communication between the operator and recipient in direct, and lack of confidence in their own performance. Stakeholders were generally satisfied with the proposed first prototype. Second prototype of lesson plan was produced by modifying some contents. Conclusions : A lesson plan was developed by applying the systematic RPISD model. It is expected that the developed instructional design may contribute to the quality improvement of meridianology laboratory education.
