This agreement aims to expand community medicine training, which has previously been centered around public health centers, to include public medical institutions. The purpose is to help students gain a broader understanding of the local healthcare environment and to establish an integrated educational foundation that links the community and the healthcare system.


The participating institutions in the agreement are Seoul Medical Center, Seoul Northern Hospital, Seoul Eastern Hospital, Seoul Northwestern Hospital, Seoul Southwestern Hospital, and Namyangju Public Health Center.


Through this collaboration, Hanyang University and each institution plan to expand community-based clinical training, operate educational programs in cooperation with public medical institutions, and establish a multifaceted cooperation system to enhance students' understanding of public healthcare.


With this agreement, the College of Medicine has established an advanced educational system linked with public medical institutions, moving beyond the previous training focused on public health centers. As a result, students are expected to broaden their awareness of the role and value of public healthcare based on experiences that help them understand the community and the healthcare system.


Yoon Hoju, Vice President for Medical Affairs, and Park Hoonki, Dean of the College of Medicine, expressed their gratitude to the participating institutions for providing on-site educational opportunities to future medical professionals in their congratulatory remarks. They emphasized that this expansion of training will serve as a valuable opportunity for students to internalize the value of public healthcare.



The representatives of the participating institutions also expressed their commitment to actively support field-oriented educational programs so that students can maintain a continued interest in the field of public healthcare.
