As the global market trade on traditional medicine increases, people now emphasized the importance of traditional medicine.

Orthopraxia & Dermatology in traditional Korean medicine has taken a large part of our medicine from the ancient times. However, studies that have been carried out so far were mainly concerned with specific disease or treatment but studies on the history of orthopraxia & dermatology in traditional Korean medicine have not been done largely. Subsequently, it is confirmed that diseases belonging to the category of orthopraxia & dermatology in traditional Korean medicine are carried with no less weight in the books other than literatures specialized in orthopraxia & dermatology while Korean medical literature is being researched with interests in the history of orthopraxia & dermatology in traditional Korean medicine. This paper mainly introduced and analyzed medical literatures containing diseases in orthopraxia & dermatology among Korean medical literatures which were classified into books on emergency measures, general medical documents and surgically specialized records prior to DongUiBoGam.

Differences in the treatment methods between different schools could also be observed. Further research and development of Traditional Korean Medicine methods of burns is needed.

The history of medicine has a strong correlation to the ancient development of epidemics. Although the study of the history of East Asian Traditional Medicine does not put much emphasis in understanding the flow of medical history in relation to epidemics, it largely impacted the development of this epidemic and the compilation and evolution of treatment methods. The same was true for Korea as they linked development of epidemics, unusual natural conditions, and social phenomenons from ancient documents. This study methodically classifies the epidemics mentioned in ${\ulcorner}$三國史記${\lrcorner}$ and concludes on how ancient Koreans understood epidemics.

In ancient East Asia surgical methods existed even before the modern surgical methods were introduced. These surgical methods were mainly used to treat tumor, bruises, and dermatosis. The methods include many techniques such as making incisions in the skin, tell when to operate, and the aftercare following an operation. The traditional ways are not practiced any more due to its being replaced by the anesthesia techniques originating from the West, but the ancient methods can still be found in documents and these methods can be reproduced through such documents. There is a possibility that this ancient method could replace the present day method because of its nature-friendly characteristic as well as its post-operation management.

To analyze current status of CPX in colleges of Traditional Korean Medicine nationwide and investigate the operations required for its development and distribution, we investigate current status of CPX in the nationwide colleges of Traditional Korean Medicine and suggest an improvement plan. A total of 7 colleges (graduate schools) performed CPX using the standardized patients as of July 2020 out of 13 colleges (graduate schools). Because there are a significant number of CPX modules developed by the colleges of Traditional Korean Medicine, a wide array of characteristics of Traditional Korean Medicine are covered, based on the literatures of Traditional Korean medicine. The scope of Clinical Presentation should established and a CPX module should be standardized to expand and distribute CPX in the education of Traditional Korean Medicine. If multiple colleges collect, train and manage the standardized patients in cooperation, CPX could be performed more effectively. Furthermore, medical clinical performance guide for Traditional Korean Medicine should be developed in cooperation. Greater support in the form of manpower, finance, and administration are required to distribute CPX to all colleges and develop various CPX modules.

This study focuses on the contents about the Urinalysis which is the most representative one of the Tibetan medicine. Also, this study compares it with the Urinalysis of Traditional Korean medicine. This study focuses on the simple history, the theoretical system, the diagnosis and the urinalysis mainly based on the documents related to the Tibetan medicine. Also, through the comparison with the contents of textbook of Traditional Korean Medicine and the urinalysis shown in the Dongeuibogam(東醫寶鑑) which is the representative Korean medical book, the difference between Tibetan Medicine and Traditional Korean Medicine will be observed. The contents related about the urinalysis of the Tibetan medicine are more specific than those of Traditional Korean Medicine. By observing the color, scent, vapor and sediment of one's urine together with periodic changes more thoroughly, it is possible to find out the cause of a certain disease. However, Traditional Korean Medicine examines the medical conditions mainly based on the state of discharge and fever, showing a clear difference. The Tibetan medicine has an extremely specific type of urinalysis in comparison with that of Traditional Korean Medicine. It is the only characteristic of the Tibet medicine, which cannot be found in any other traditional medicine. By applying the viewpoint of the doctor who diagnoses the patient by measuring his or her pulse, it is possible to make the diagnosing process more specific and accurate. It is expected that the follow-up study will be continuously executed with the introduction of the system for the urinalysis of the Tibetan medicine to Traditional Korean medicine.

Buddist Medicine has greatly influenced Chinese medicine, a medicine centered around East Asian traditional medicine. Buddhist medicine, however, was replaced when Chinese medicine became centered around Confucianism in the 12th century. According to "Tianjinyaofang" a document of the 8th century, however, traces of Buddhist medicine can be found. This study has found and organized the traces of Buddhist medicine in both Korean and Chinese medicine today.

In July 2008, I obtained a copy of "Hanbang Eihak Gangseupseo" through Uibangseowon. It was recorded that the book was compiled by Seong Ju-bong and reviewed by Ji Seok-young. According to previous studies, this book was the lecture book that was used in teaching Traditional Korean Medicine in Daejeon, Chungcheongnam-do. This book gave insight to the system and curriculum of the school for Traditional Korean Medicine in Daejeon, Chungcheongnam-do. It also exhibited the academic characteristics of Traditional Korean Medicine in the Period of Japanese Occupation and the medical viewpoint of Seong Ju-bong. The summary is as follows: First, an independent School for Traditional Korean Medicine was run in Daejeon, Chungcheongnam-do, with reasonable curriculums and systematic textbooks. Second, the medical viewpoint and treatment methods of Huang Yuan-Yu of Qing Dynasty was actively introduced. Then it was reorganized for the society and stimulated the progress of Traditional Korean Medicine. Third, while absorbing Chinese Medicine, it still inherited our heritage of Traditional Korean Medicine Especially, Seong Ju-bong's original opinions and clinical experiences are shown in surgery, gynecology and pediatrics. Fourth, in a break from the past, when Chinese culture could not be introduced due to diplomatic problems between Joseon and Qing, efforts were made to overcome limitations of lagging behind by adopting and educating Warm Disease study. Fifth, while working side by side with Ji Seok-young who introduced the modern Western Medicine through vaccination, it still searched for a traditional Korean medical treatment for chickenpox. I hope that the report of my findings through reading "Eihak Gangseupseo" could make up for the fact that the medical history during the colonial period is scarce.
