On September 26, more than 350 people participated in an online training course hosted by the Yongin Medical Association in Gyeonggi Province.
This training course was divided into three sessions:
1) Latest Medicine
2) Convergence of the latest IT technology and medicine
3) Psychiatric Special Lecture.
Sang Nam, Professor of the Department of Computer Game Design at George Mason University Korea, also gave lectures under the theme of "The Convergence of Game and Medical Simulation" in the second session.
Professor Nam introduced the current status of medical simulation development through the development of computer technology in the United States. Nam said, “Games that used to stay only as children's play in the negative sense, can now help to treat patients through various types of simulations, and U.S. insurance companies are also deeply interested in this field and support research.”
Kim Jae-hong, academic director (Nulpyeonhan Clinic), who organized the training course, said, "We resumed the training course that stopped due to COVID-19 via online, and we are grateful that many people participated."
