Jaseng Hospital of Korean Medicine Selected as Korea's Only Participating Hospital in UCLA Medical School's "International Integrative Medicine Platform"

Jaseng Hospital of Korean Medicine announced on November 10 that it has been selected as the only participating hospital in Korea for the "International Integrative Medicine Education and Clinical Exchange Online Platform Project" led by the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.

This platform, spearheaded by the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, was established to strengthen the global competence and expertise of medical students worldwide who are interested in integrative medicine. To this end, 12 major universities and institutions from the United States, China, Taiwan, Macau, and Hong Kong have formed partnerships, with Jaseng Hospital of Korean Medicine being the only hospital-level institution participating from Korea.

The platform is scheduled to launch within this year and will undergo a one-year pilot operation, during which exchanges among participating institutions and students around the world will be fully initiated. Participating institutions will share clinical research results and joint research achievements through the platform, while students will be able to apply for training and utilize learning programs.

A representative from Jaseng Medical Academy stated, "During the discussions, the deans and presidents of the 12 institutions were deeply impressed by the development of Korean medicine and the clinical education programs at Jaseng Hospital of Korean Medicine," adding, "We will continue to actively foster global talent and enhance our international standing in the field of integrative medicine through clinical training and academic exchanges."

Meanwhile, Jaseng Hospital of Korean Medicine has been actively pursuing various international exchange activities to globalize Korean medicine and integrative medicine. The hospital operates clinical training and internship programs for overseas medical professionals and, as the only institution among East Asian medical organizations, has been re-certified as a continuing medical education provider by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) in the United States, thereby qualifying to officially provide education to medical professionals from over 30 countries, including the United States.

Additionally, earlier this year, Jaseng Hospital of Korean Medicine was the only Asian medical institution invited to the Academic Consortium for Integrative Medicine & Health (ACIMH) held in Seattle, United States. Last month, the hospital further strengthened its cooperative relationships by visiting Indiana University School of Medicine and Virginia University of Integrative Medicine (VUIM) to conduct Korean medicine education. Next year, Jaseng Hospital of Korean Medicine plans to co-host the "Jaseng International Academic Conference (AJA 2026)" with Indiana University School of Medicine.
