THE COEXISTENCE OF WESTERN MEDICINE AND KOREAN TRADITIONAL MEDICINE IN KOREA

While both Western and Korean traditional medicine are well-known in Korea, the number of medical institutions and users who receive treatments from each medicine differs a lot. This is because there is a clear difference between each of these fields of medicine. Through this study, with the methodology of an anonymous survey, the researcher was able to observe people's opinions and thoughts regarding the two different medicines. The coexistence of two medicines is still possible in Korea since their advantages and drawbacks clearly supplement each other.
