This convention, now in its 17th year, was co-hosted by Busan Metropolitan City and Busan Ilbo, and organized by the Busan Medical Industry Council.
The event featured more than 100 institutions, including university hospitals, general hospitals, small and medium-sized clinics, medical associations, local governments, and wellness companies, operating over 200 booths to showcase the latest medical technologies and medical tourism information aimed at attracting international patients. Dong-Eui Institute of Technology was the only wellness medical and beauty education institution to operate an experience booth, and students also attended as observers.
At the Dong-Eui Institute of Technology booth, visitors could experience various programs such as AI skin diagnosis, bioenergy analysis, and stress and vascular age measurement. Attendees were able not only to obtain information but also to directly check their results and receive consultations from experts. Students were responsible for guiding visitors through the measurement processes and explaining the results, demonstrating their professional knowledge and communication skills required in the field.
The booth also attracted significant interest from international buyers from countries such as Russia, Mongolia, and Thailand. These buyers expressed strong interest in the department's educational methods and curriculum, and discussed potential avenues for cooperation. This highlights that the department's educational content is competitive not only domestically but also internationally.
Jang Junghyun, head of the Department of Medical Skin Beauty, stated, "It is a meaningful achievement that our students demonstrated their expertise in an international setting and communicated directly with overseas buyers," adding, "Building on the cultural tourism specialization of the Busan RISE project, we will further develop an educational model that combines medical and cultural tourism, nurturing talent recognized in the global market."
