Jaseng Oriental Hospital Acquires Re-certification of East Asia's Only ACCME Conservative Educational Institution

Jul 28, 2025

Jaseng Oriental Medicine Hospital has been re-certified to extend medical licenses in more than 30 countries, including American doctors.

If you complete the oriental medicine program of a self-sustaining oriental medicine hospital, foreign doctors will be able to maintain the relevant license, which is the only case among East Asian medical institutions and has been recognized for the integrated medicine expertise of self-sustaining oriental medicine hospitals, drawing attention from the medical community.

Jaseng Oriental Medicine Hospital (Hospital Director Lee Jin-ho) announced on the 28th that it was the only East Asian medical institution to re-certify a conservative educational institution from the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME).




ACCME was co-founded by the American Medical Association (AMA), the American Medical College Association (AAMC), and the American Hospital Association (AHA), and is a non-profit organization that certifies, manages and supervises the Continuing Medical Education (CME) program in the United States. In addition, 31 countries around the world, including the United States, are also playing a role in ensuring the reliability of the essential rating system for doctor's license renewal. Accordingly, in order to maintain a doctor's license in the relevant country, one must receive a certain period of maintenance training at an ACCME certification body and complete the standard rating.

Earlier in July 2019, Jaseng Oriental Medicine Hospital obtained a two-year temporary certification given to ACCME's new conservative education provider and has been operating conservative training for domestic and foreign medical staff. In addition to active investment in online education development from the beginning of education provision, online oriental medicine education contents tailored to non-face-to-face culture have been strengthened immediately after COVID-19. At the same time, it has also strengthened infrastructure, such as establishing a database and platform for issuing educational ratings.

After that, in 2021, after the temporary certification period (2 years), it received formal certification from ACCME and obtained the qualification as a conservative educational institution. ACCME is deciding whether to approve formal certification through 13 key certification criteria, including evidence-based education, effectiveness of education, possibility of improving doctor competency, and selection of educational topics required in the clinical field for quality management of conservative education.




Currently, the number of medical staff registered in the maintenance education program implemented by Jaseng Oriental Medicine Hospital reaches 1,900.

This month, when the four-year formal certification period expires successfully, ACCME re-certification will allow it to continue its qualification as a conservative educational institution until July 2029. As a result, Jaseng Oriental Medicine Hospital achieved the feat of maintaining certification for a total of 10 years from 2019 to 2029. Currently, in Asia, medical institutions in Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, and the UAE are registered as ACCME-certified institutions in addition to self-sustaining oriental medicine hospitals. In addition, only 21 institutions in 15 countries around the world, including the United States, hold official ACCME certification.

Some in the medical community say that the integrated medicine expertise of self-sustaining oriental medicine hospitals has been greatly recognized.




Jaseng Oriental Medicine Hospital provides patients with motion acupuncture (MSAT), which is a unique acupuncture method, Chuna therapy, and ultrasound-guided acupuncture. Last year, it was selected as a national task implementation agency of the Korea Oriental Medicine Promotion Agency under the Ministry of Health and Welfare, and 98 medical staff from 28 countries received maintenance education and clinical training at self-sustaining oriental medicine hospitals.

Lee Jin-ho, director of Jaseng Oriental Medicine Hospital, said "We have been conducting evidence-based clinical education for the globalization, scientificization, and standardization of oriental medicine for a long time, and it is recognized that the integrated treatment education system of oriental medicine meets global standards."We will continue to provide the latest treatment technology to medical personnel around the world to strive for the globalization of oriental medicine," he said.

Meanwhile, Jaseng Oriental Medicine Hospital has been holding the Annual Jaseng Academic International Conference for medical staff around the world following the launch of the international academic journal 「PIM, Perspectives on Integrative Medicine」. In August next year, the 6th AJA International Academic Conference will be co-hosted with Indiana University School of Medicine in the United States.
