NHIS Conducts Practical Training for Law School Students from 6 Universities

The National Health Insurance Service announced on the 22nd that it has completed a practical training program for 11 law school students from six universities, including Kyung Hee University.

Since 2010, the Service has been providing law school students with practical education opportunities on the health insurance and long-term care insurance systems, as well as the legal processes of the Service. To date, a total of 183 trainees have been produced.

Eleven law school students from six universities completed a two-week practical training at the National Health Insurance Service from the 4th to the 18th.

The practical training was conducted with the aim of nurturing professional legal practitioners equipped with both theory and practice, focusing on legal interpretation and litigation practice guidance by the Service’s in-house lawyers and health insurance practitioners. One law school student who participated in the practical training said, "Through this practical training, I have developed an interest in social insurance systems overall, including the National Health Insurance."

Um Ho-yoon, head of the Legal Support Office at the National Health Insurance Service, stated, "This program provided the trainees with an opportunity to understand the National Health Insurance Act and the Long-Term Care Insurance Act and to contemplate the development of the Service’s systems together," adding, "We will continue to offer educational opportunities every year so that students interested in health insurance and long-term care insurance systems can gain diverse practical experiences."
