Abstract
-
The purpose of this study is to review the validity of quantitative indices on the Evaluation of Korean Medical Schools in 1996. The data required for the indices were obtained from the 1996's edition of the Directory of Korea Medical Education and compared to the results of the evaluation.
Among the quantitative indices of the evaluation the number of professors and assistants of basic medical science was the most valuable index to differentiate the better group from lesser groups of medical schools in Korea.
