Oriental medicine, which originated in ancient China, has spread throughout Korea and Japan. Because of Korea's proximity to China, the medical history of Korea has been influenced by China. But instead of simply imitating, we have steadily developed our own original medicine. From the period of Baegje and Silla to the Koryeo and Chosun dynasty, the numerous books on oriental medicine distinctly prove the independence and originality of Korean medicine. Moreover, Dongeuibogam, which was published by Heo Jun, the great doctor of Korea, being the representative book on synthetic medicine, shows the uniqueness of Korean medicine. In the late Chosun dynasty, Lee Jema systemized and explained the structure and function of the human body by the method of classifying four constitutional types. He established a distinctive medicine of physical constitution by classifying every person to be in one of the four constitutions.

Kyung Hee University established the first College of Oriental Medicine in Korea with a unique medical system. Our college has produced thousands of oriental medical doctors through more than 50 graduations. Our college and affiliated hospitals play leading roles for the objectification of oriental medicine with notable achievements: new designs of oriental medical apparatuses, the manufacture of extract medicines, the successful attainment of acupuncture anesthesia. Since oriental medicine has won public confidence both in Korea and in Western countries, our college has accumulated a vast amount of research results and experiences and exerts all possible efforts to develop oriental medicine as a traditional Korean study into a universal medicine.
