Medical volunteer activities of the college of Korean medicine (KM) are stipulated in Article 19 of the enforcement regulations of the medical law (medical practice of medical students, etc.). At D University, 31.8% of students are participating in medical volunteer activities during the summer vacation. Through students belonging to the three clubs, we would like to investigate and analyze the experience and form of medical service, participation motivation, satisfaction, mental growth, progress of prior education, and needs for improvement.
Out of 289 students at D University, 92 students participated in summer medical volunteer activities through three clubs during July 2024. An online survey was conducted from July 30 to August 7, 2024, with 55 students responding (response rate 59.8%). The questions in the survey consisted of a total of 22 questions based on previous studies.
The main purpose of participation in medical service by KM university students was to gain new knowledge or experience. 90.9% of students were satisfied with the medical volunteer activities. Pre-education for medical volunteer activities was conducted to all students, and only 11.5% of students took formal pre-education at the school level. 67.3% of students answered that there was a need for improvement in regular school classes in acquiring prior knowledge, and in particular, there were many responses from 1st∙2nd graders of KM course.
This study identifies the strengths and weaknesses of medical volunteer activities among KM students. While satisfaction is high (90.9%), the reliance on informal preparation indicates a need for formal support and training in the curriculum. With 70.9% interested in lifelong volunteering, improving structured programs could enhance educational outcomes and community healthcare engagement.
韩医学院学生的医疗志愿者活动在《医疗法实施条例》（医学生的医疗实践等）第19条中有规定。在D大学，31.8%的学生在暑假期间参加医疗志愿者活动。通过隶属于三个社团的学生，我们希望对医疗服务的经验和形式、参与动机、满意度、心理成长、先前教育的进展以及改进需求进行调查和分析。
在D大学的289名学生中，92名学生在2024年7月通过三个社团参加了暑期医疗志愿者活动。于2024年7月30日至8月7日进行了在线调查，有55名学生回复（回复率59.8%）。该调查中的问题基于先前的研究共包含22个问题。
韩医学院学生参与医疗服务的主要目的是获取新知识或经验。90.9%的学生对医疗志愿者活动感到满意。对所有学生都开展了医疗志愿者活动的前期教育，只有11.5%的学生接受了校级的正规前期教育。67.3%的学生回答在获取先前知识方面常规学校课程有改进的必要，特别是韩医课程的一、二年级学生有很多反馈。
本研究确定了韩医专业学生医疗志愿者活动的优势和不足。虽然满意度较高（90.9%），但对非正规准备的依赖表明在课程中需要正规的支持和培训。鉴于70.9%的学生对终身志愿服务感兴趣，改进结构化项目可以提高教育成果并增强社区医疗参与度。
