Korean Society of Medical Education was organized in May, 1983 to help and encourage its members to do various medical education researches and share the study results through formal and informal society s academic activities. For several years, however, there has been no activity until the society was reorganized in March 1989. Since then, the society has already held two conferences together with seminars and one workshop and publishes journal once in every 6 months. To meet the need of members and their interests, the secretariat of the Society planned a questionnaire survey on society s future academic activities. A simple questionnaire containing questions of selected individual characteristics together with the number of academic meetings the members want to have every years, and the particular area of interests they have in relation to medical education. One hundred and twenty members out of 280 returned the questionnaires and the major results obtained from the analysis of those questionnaires are as follows. 1. Of all respondents, 116 were male and only 4 were female. Most of the respondents were in the age group of 40s and 50s (75.8%), and have been engaged in medical education for more than 10 years (70.9%). 2. 66.7% of the respondents wanted to have one conference per year whereas 33.3% wanted 2 conferences per year. This difference was not statistically different by selected personal characteristics such as sex, aged and years of teaching. 3. Five major areas of interests of the respondents were setting objectives of medical education (33.3%), student evaluation (30.8%), medical ethics education (30.0%), teacher evaluation (29.2%), and the national physicians licensure examination (28.3%). The areas of interests were slightly different among different age groups, years of teaching, and between those in basic medical science and in clinical science. One of the things this study suggests is that the society focuses more basic field of medical education such as setting goals of medical education and developing better methodology of student evaluation.
