The Korean Intern Resident Association and K-DOC have received notable acclaim for providing a breadth of career exploration opportunities to their resident members via the Short-Term Medical Training Certificate (SMTC) program. Dr. Park Je-yeon, an internal medicine resident at Seoul National University Hospital (R3), participated in an enriching short-term training program in Boston, USA, from September 8 to 23. This initiative was supported by the Korean Intern Resident Association, K-DOC, and the Korean Health Industry Development Institute (KHIDI) U.S. office. During her visit, Dr. Park engaged with numerous prestigious institutions, including ASIMOV Bioengineering Company, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, GENOSCO, Hanwha Group's Boston office, K2B Therapeutics, Yuhan USA, LG Chem, Standigm, Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Harvard Medical School, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and Merck, sharing insights from her visits.
Dr. Park reflected on her experience, stating, "Boston, renowned for hosting some of the world's premier hospitals and universities, also excels in generating outstanding research outcomes through the synergy between global pharmaceutical firms and bioventure companies. This training program was invaluable for experiencing the global medical ecosystem firsthand and clarifying my career trajectory as a physician."
The KHIDI U.S. office highlighted Boston's vibrant ecosystem, characterized by the collaborative efforts of world-leading educational and research institutions, top-tier medical facilities, and bio-medical companies. KHIDI also emphasized its collaboration with K-DOC in conducting the short-term training program, aimed at fostering exceptional Korean medical talent and contributing to the health industry's growth.
CEO Seung-kook Cho of K-DOC remarked, "Our objective is to present diverse career pathways to Korean medical residents. We anticipate that the short-term training experience in the U.S. will expand their global outlook and enrich their professional development as medical practitioners."
K-DOC's involvement in this short-term training program offers a solution to the prevalent challenge of finding appropriate programs that acknowledge foreign short-term training as part of the residency period and provide financial support to training hospitals. In partnership with the international NGO Good Neighbors, K-DOC is in the process of developing training programs related to Official Development Assistance (ODA) and is committed to offering a comprehensive suite of programs through future collaborations with various institutions, corporations, and NGOs.
