This program was carried out as part of the “Korean Medicine Overseas Export and Foreign Patient Attraction Support Project” by the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the National Institute for Korean Medicine Development. Key participants included Yoon Youngseok, Director of Jaseng Medical Academy, along with medical staff and major officials from Jaseng Hospital of Korean Medicine. They met with faculty and researchers at each university to discuss international cooperation, toured medical and research facilities, and shared Korean medicine treatment techniques, clinical cases, and educational systems related to musculoskeletal disorders with local medical professionals and students.

There were also discussions on co-hosting the “6th Jaseng International Academic Conference” scheduled for August next year. Jaseng Hospital of Korean Medicine has been organizing the Jaseng International Academic Conference to promote the scientific basis of Korean medicine and to expand the future potential of integrative medicine.

At Virginia University of Integrative Medicine, lectures and hands-on sessions were held on Jaseng’s unique treatment methods, such as non-surgical Korean medicine treatments for spinal and joint disorders and Motion Style Acupuncture Treatment (MSAT).

Director Yoon stated, “This international exchange was a meaningful opportunity to widely promote the excellence of Korean medicine and strengthen cooperation with overseas medical professionals,” adding, “We will continue to expand our global network and lead the globalization of Korean medicine.”

Meanwhile, Jaseng Hospital of Korean Medicine is making multifaceted efforts to globalize Korean medicine, such as providing clinical training and internships for overseas medical professionals. Notably, in July, it became the only East Asian medical institution to be reaccredited as a continuing medical education provider by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) in the United States. In addition, earlier this year, it was the only Asian medical institution invited to present its research achievements at the Academic Consortium for Integrative Medicine & Health (ACIMH) held in Seattle, United States.
