This program brought together 11 current students and pre-med students from leading medical schools around the world, including the University of Arizona in the United States, Imperial College London in the United Kingdom, and Mohammed Bin Rashid University of Medicine and Health Sciences (MBRU) in the UAE. Over the course of two weeks, participants directly experienced Jaseng Korean Medicine Hospital's clinical system and treatment methods, broadening their knowledge of Korean medicine and integrative medicine.

The internship program consisted of several components: clinical observation at Jaseng Korean Medicine Hospital (observing diagnosis and treatment processes, understanding patient management), lectures and hands-on practice in integrative medicine (including pharmacopuncture, Chuna therapy, and motion acupuncture), Q&A sessions with medical staff, creation of content related to Korean medicine and integrative medicine, and a final presentation and completion ceremony. In addition, participants visited the Jaseng Medi-Bio Center and the Korean Medicine Museum, where they were able to experience firsthand the historical background and scientific development of Korean medicine.

Notably, from the second week of the program, 12 students from major Korean medicine universities in Korea, including Kyung Hee University, Dongguk University, and Pusan National University, joined the internship. As a result, a total of 23 multinational students participated in cross-border team projects, enhancing their academic capabilities and international communication skills through various practical sessions and presentations.

Lee Jin-ho, Director of Jaseng Korean Medicine Hospital, stated, "The Jaseng Medical Academy Internship Program is designed to raise awareness of Korean medicine and integrative medicine among future medical professionals worldwide, and to support their growth as global healthcare talents. We will continue to enhance the global competitiveness of Korean medicine through ongoing international exchange and education."

Meanwhile, Jaseng Korean Medicine Hospital is making multifaceted efforts to globalize Korean medicine, including running training programs for medical professionals and hosting international academic conferences. The hospital has maintained academic exchanges with MBRU in the UAE, one of the participating institutions in this internship, for seven years. In March of this year, Jaseng Korean Medicine Hospital was the only Asian medical institution invited to present its research achievements at the Academic Consortium for Integrative Medicine and Health (ACIMH) held in Seattle, United States.
