[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Universities and hospitals have joined forces to bring the 'K-Bio boom' to Busan, which is emerging as a global medical tourism hub.

Busan Science and Technology University (President Kang Ki-seong) and Yonseocheok Hospital (CEO Kim Hoon) signed an agreement on February 2 to operate customized academic programs and began a project to train specialized personnel such as medical coordinators.

Based on a mutually cooperative employment linkage system established with the university's Department of Health Tourism Chinese (Department Head Kim Min-jung), they plan to systematically train demand-oriented specialized personnel.

The hospital will participate in the university's Social Customized Industry-Academic Cooperation Leading College Project (LINC+) to jointly design and develop curricula, operate education, and provide demand-centered customized personnel through employment-linked field training.

Yonseocheok Hospital is a specialized spine and joint treatment hospital affiliated with Severance Hospital, offering one-on-one customized treatment and one-stop services from procedures to surgery.

The two institutions will jointly participate in operating the university's Department of Health Tourism Chinese's social customized program, the 'Duty-Free Master Course,' and the hospital has agreed to hire a total of four students who complete this course and demonstrate excellence in Chinese language and health care expertise.

Professor Kim Min-jung (Department Head of Health Tourism Chinese) said, "With the rise of Korea's national status through K-quarantine and bio industries, the number of medical tourists in the Busan area is expected to increase significantly in the post-COVID-19 era."

Professor Kim added, "We will strive to provide various career opportunities for current students aspiring to become Chinese-speaking medical tourism coordinators."
