The ASK 2019 in the accreditation of medical school

Medical schools have a social accountability to educate competent medical trainees and to improve the quality of medicine. Accreditation Board for Medical Education in Korea was established as an accreditation board in 1993. Now, Korean Institute of Medical Education and Evaluation (KIMEE) was opened and assessed the medical curricula and environments of each medical school which included medical educational contents, teaching-learning methods, assessment, students’ elections, medical facilities and the supporting system. KIMEE will assess each medical school with new items, called ‘ASK 2019’ starting from Year 2019. According to ASK 2019, KIMEE will assess 92 basic items and 51 excellence items which are 9 domains of mission and outcome, educational curriculum, students’ assessment, students, medical professors, educational resources, educational assessment, administration and management of school, continual improvement. We will actively prepare the budget, human resources, new medical curriculum, various teaching-learning and assessment methods, administration supporting system and medical facilities to pass the accreditation of medical education and evaluation.
