This symposium is organized to discuss the changes and new opportunities brought about by the convergence of the medical field and the bio healthcare industry.

The bio healthcare industry, recognized as a representative industry of the 21st century, is also bringing changes to the medical field. Accordingly, the association explains that the role and participation of clinical physicians in the development of the bio healthcare industry are being newly highlighted. In particular, given the reality in Korea where most doctors focus solely on clinical practice and issues of physician workforce supply arise between regions and medical specialties, diverse career opportunities for clinical physicians are important.

The symposium will explore the future outlook of the convergence between clinical medicine and the bio healthcare industry. Additionally, it will discuss ways in which clinical physicians can contribute to building the ecosystem of the bio healthcare industry and the medical field through various career opportunities.

In the first part of the presentation, Jisoo Bae, CEO of Genome & Company, will present on the topic "Korean Doctors: March Beyond the Map." This will be followed by presentations on ▲ Why are doctors needed in digital healthcare companies? (Sungji Kang, CEO of Welt) ▲ What do doctors do in bio healthcare companies? (Eun Kyung Kim, Head of Medical Clinical Development at ABL Bio) ▲ A new path for clinical physicians: Mint MD (Minseok Song, Head of Mint MD Development Team at Mint Venture Partners).

The subsequent panel discussion will include participants such as Taewon Min, medical specialist reporter at Kukmin Ilbo; Youngdoo Song, reporter at Edaily; Younghoon Kim, former Vice President for Medical Affairs and Medical Center Director at Korea University; Jaehun Song, Chairman of Mint Venture Partners; and Seunggyu Lee, Vice Chairman of the Korea Bio Association.

Chuljoong Kim, President of the Korea Medical Bio Journalists Association and medical specialist reporter at Chosun Ilbo, said, "This symposium was organized to provide future-oriented insights to medical experts and bio healthcare industry stakeholders and to seek new opportunities for collaboration. We look forward to the active participation of all interested parties."

Attendance at the symposium on-site is open to anyone without prior registration.
