Formal Training• Just few hours of clinical clerkship for medical
students at most universities• Residents
– No formal guideline for training residents in critical care– In 2001, working group to form a formal guideline was
established by Korean Society of Critical Care Medicine
• Fellows– No formal guideline– Different levels of training in different hospitals

Problems Hindering Development of Critical Care in Korea
• Low cost of critical care
– Most hospitals: private
– Medical costs: set and controlled by the government
– Administrators see ICU’s as money-losing department
• Few true intensivists
– Even active interested doctors cannot devote full time to the ICU
• No formal training or guideline in critical care

Pressing Educational Needs• More physicians devoted to critical care me
dicine are needed– Teach physicians and administrators why intens
ivist-directed ICU’s are important and necessary
– Educate physicians interested in critical care medicine the basic skills necessary to become intensivists
