SUNG KYUN KWAN UNIVERSITY

School of Medicine

SKKU School of Medicine was established in 1997 and aims to educate globally talented Medical Scientists who carry the value of Humanity, Righteousness, Wisdom and Propriety. In cooperation with Samsung Medical Center, SKKU’s School of Medicine is now recognized as one of the top ranking academic medical schools in Korea. The School has continuously endeavored to reform the current medical education and has become the first school in Korea to provide a full two-year PBL program for preclinical education.
The primary goal of our school is to educate students to become competent and compassionate physicians, having characteristics of a self-directed learner. We are striving to encourage students to acquire a broad knowledge based on four important perspectives- demographical, behavioral, biological and clinical aspects. Students are required to master basic principles and theories and identify how these apply to various areas in medicine through their self-learning activities.
The curriculum provides appropriate environments for students to become familiarized with, while the faculty assists students in developing appropriate personal qualities and attitudes.
We will continue our endeavors to become a world-class Medical School in research and teaching and ultimately, to cultivate humanitarian medical scientists who bears righteousness deep within their minds.
