The practice of community medicine is the delivery of comprehensive health care by a health team trained in curative and preventive medicine to a defined population based on their needs and economy. For some time it has been realized that the integration of curative and preventive services is a well recognized national need. Only such a unification could effectively deliver comprehensive health care to the family which is the ultimate recipient of community care. The success in the application of the health care depends mainly on the training and attitude of the future doctors who are willing to work in the rural areas. It is therefore the responsibility of the medical school to train community oriented doctors, and such a training requires the provision of community projects in which students of the Medical School can participate.

As the role of traditional medicine in community health improvement increases, a comprehensive health care program for infectious diseases management in child-care centers by Korean medicine doctors was developed. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of the program intervention on infection-related medical care utilization among children. The study used a quasi-experimental design with nonequivalent control group, comparing pre- and post-intervention data of the same children. The program implemented interventions in terms of management, education, and medical examination for the teachers, parents, and children in 12-week period. The frequency of utilization, cost, and prescription days of drugs and antibiotics due to infectious diseases prior to the intervention were compared with those during the 3-month intervention, using health insurance claim data. A panel analysis was also conducted to support the findings. A significant reduction (12%) in infection-related visit days of hospitals was observed with the intervention (incident rate ratio = 0.88,P=0.01). And medical cost, drug prescription days, and antibiotics prescription days were decreased, although not statistically significant. A further cost-effectiveness analysis in terms of social perspectives, considering the opportunity costs for guardians to take children to medical institutions, would be needed.
