The introduction of modern Western medicine in the late 19th century, notably through vaccination initiatives, marked the beginning of governmental involvement in medical licensure, with the licensing of doctors who performed vaccinations. The establishment of the national medical school "Euihakkyo" in 1899 further formalized medical education and licensure, granting graduates the privilege to practice medicine without additional examinations. The enactment of the Regulations on Doctors in 1900 by the Joseon government aimed to define doctor qualifications, including modern and traditional practitioners, comprehensively. However, resistance from the traditional medical community hindered its full implementation. During the Japanese colonial occupation of the Korean Peninsula from 1910 to 1945, the medical licensure system was controlled by colonial authorities, leading to the marginalization of traditional Korean medicine and the imposition of imperial hierarchical structures. Following liberation in 1945 from Japanese colonial rule, the Korean government undertook significant reforms, culminating in the National Medical Law, which was enacted in 1951. This law redefined doctor qualifications and reinstated the status of traditional Korean medicine. The introduction of national examinations for physicians increased state involvement in ensuring medical competence. The privatization of the Korean Medical Licensing Examination led to the establishment of the Korea Health Personnel Licensing Examination Institute in 1992, which assumed responsibility for administering licensing examinations for all healthcare workers. This shift reflected a move towards specialized management of professional standards. The evolution of the medical licensure system in Korea illustrates a dynamic process shaped by the historical context, balancing the protection of public health with the rights of medical practitioners.

Paramedicine education often uses high-fidelity simulations that mimic real-life emergencies. These experiences can trigger stress responses characterized by physiological changes, including alterations in cerebral blood flow and oxygenation. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is emerging as a promising tool for assessing cognitive stress in educational settings.

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the reliability and validity of a measurement tool for portfolio assessments in medical education. Specifically, it investigated scoring consistency among raters and assessment criteria appropriateness according to an expert panel.Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted from September to December 2018 for the Introduction to Clinical Medicine course at the Ewha Womans University College of Medicine. Data were collected for 5 randomly selected portfolios scored by a gold-standard rater and 6 trained raters. An expert panel assessed the validity of 12 assessment items using the content validity index (CVI). Statistical analysis included Pearson correlation coefficients for rater alignment, the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for inter-rater reliability, and the CVI for item-level validity.Results: Rater 1 had the highest Pearson correlation (0.8916) with the gold-standard rater, while Rater 5 had the lowest (0.4203). The ICC for all raters was 0.3821, improving to 0.4415 after excluding Raters 1 and 5, indicating a 15.6% reliability increase. All assessment items met the CVI threshold of ≥0.75, with some achieving a perfect score (CVI=1.0). However, items like "sources" and "level and degree of performance" showed lower validity (CVI=0.72).Conclusion: The present measurement tool for portfolio assessments demonstrated moderate reliability and strong validity, supporting its use as a credible tool. For a more reliable portfolio assessment, more faculty training is needed.
