초록/요약
Purpose: To identify the core competencies of medical ethics for the Korean Medical Licensing Examination (KMLE). Methods: A literature review was conducted to determine the domains and details of the core competencies of medical ethics. A Delphi survey was then used to confirm these core competencies. The survey was conducted twice, using online Google Forms sent to selected medical ethics experts. The indices of core competencies were grouped into three categories: patient-doctor relationship, relationship between the healthcare sector and society, and individual field of expertise. Each category was further divided into three levels: sub-category, component, and definition of index. The questionnaire included the importance of the individual index as a core competency of medical ethics for the KMLE. The results were evaluated on a 4-point Likert scale. Results: The first Delphi questionnaire was sent to 36 willing participants, of whom 23 responded (response rate: 64%). The second Delphi survey was conducted with 23 respondents from the first survey, of whom 16 responded (response rate: 70%). To verify the importance and validity of the definition of index as a core competency of medical ethics, the medians and content validity ratios (CVR) were calculated and used to identify the core competencies of medical ethics for KMLE. Conclusion: Based on the above results, 3 categories, 17 sub-categories, 30 components, and 62 index definitions were identified as required core competencies of medical ethics for KMLE.
