The purpose of this study is to analyze the accreditation standards items related to the decision of accreditation of medical schools by the Korea Institute of Medical Education and Evaluation (KIMEE).
The subjects are medical schools in Korea that have received post-2nd cycle accreditation from the KIMEE between 2012 and 2016. Analyses were conducted for differences in accreditation decisions according to the characteristics of medical schools, sufficient ratios of basic standards items, and correlation between standards items related to accreditation decisions.
After examining differences in accreditation decisions by the medical school's characteristics, there were no significant correlations between accreditation standard items and accreditation decisions. Second, according to the number of schools that sufficiently or insufficiently met each standard item, from the total of 97 standard items, 20 (20.6%) were sufficiently fulfilled by all medical schools. Standard item 2-5-2 demonstrated the highest insufficiency ratio. Third, with respect to the standard item that had an effect on accreditation decisions, standard item 1-5-1 showed the highest correlation with the sufficiency rate.
The validity of accreditation standards items was assured as this study evaluated the post-2nd cycle accreditation standards items regardless of each medical school's characteristics. The accreditation standards items were found to have a meaningful impact on the development of medical schools and qualitative improvement in medical education. The findings are expected to contribute to guaranteeing the validity and reliability of accreditation decisions and raising the quality of accreditation.
本研究旨在分析韩国医学教育与评估研究所（KIMEE）对医学院校认证决策相关的认证标准项目。
研究对象为 2012 年至 2016 年间接受 KIMEE 第二期后认证的韩国医学院校。对医学院校的特点、基础标准项目的充足比例以及与认证决策相关的标准项目之间的相关性对认证决策的差异进行了分析。
在考察医学院校特点对认证决策的差异后，认证标准项目与认证决策之间没有显著相关性。其次，根据每个标准项目充分或不充分满足的学校数量，在总共 97 个标准项目中，有 20 个（20.6%）被所有医学院校充分满足。标准项目 2-5-2 的不充分率最高。第三，就对认证决策有影响的标准项目而言，标准项目 1-5-1 与充足率的相关性最高。
本研究对第二期后认证标准项目进行了评估，而不考虑各医学院校的特点，从而确保了认证标准项目的有效性。认证标准项目对医学院校的发展和医学教育的质量改进具有重要意义。研究结果有望为保证认证决策的有效性和可靠性以及提高认证质量做出贡献。
