Expectations

Please note: A significant portion of our patient population speaks Korean, and, if necessary, patient encounters may be translated to English by the physician or a dedicated translator.
  • Jaseng Hospital of Korean Medicine specializes in non-surgical treatments within the realm of Korean Medicine. Predominantly employing Integrative Medicine, our treatments involve acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, herbal medicine, Chuna manual therapy, and more. We integrate allopathic diagnostic methods such as MRIs, X-rays, and pathological examinations.
  • Participants in our program will have the opportunity to observe patients undergoing various treatments, particularly in areas such as traffic injuries, whiplash, herniated discs, dislocations, fractures, pain management, Bell's palsy, disease prevention, and more. 
  • As this program is situated in Korea, participants will gain firsthand experience and global insights into the Korean hospital healthcare system and operations. Additionally, they will visit our affiliated universities and hospitals.
  • Participants will have the opportunity to learn and participate in research conducted at Jaseng. They will learn about research methodology and evidence-based medicine. Despite common misconceptions about Integrative Medicine lacking scientific evidence, participants in our program will be exposed to research supporting these treatments. Visits to our research laboratory and herbal dispensaries are also included in the program.

Our programs are meticulously designed to provide a well-rounded and balanced experience for participants in all fields of medicine from a global perspective.
