The survey contents contained previous education experience and satisfaction on oriental medicine, the need of oriental medicine education.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;Medical records administrators who received previous education on oriental medicine were about 30% of the total. Most of them were trained by a part of the policy of the oriental medicine hospital for average 10-19 hours. And the satisfaction level was not high. The highest reason for the need of education on oriental medicine was the increase of joint treatment of western-oriental medicine. Many respondents agreed that oriental medicine terminology, classification of diseases in oriental medicine, management of oriental medical records should be included as compulsory courses in college curriculum.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;The oriental medicine sector is a ‘blue ocean’ market and the demand for medical records administrators will surely be increased in the near future.
