DonguiBogam is a historical Korean anthology on medicine, written from 1596 to 1610 by Heo Jun, a Joseon Dynasty doctor who served the royal court for 30 years and wrote eight medical books including DonguiBogam.

The world’s first book on medicine for(the general public), Dongui Bogam, was published in many countries such as China and Japan, and was recorded as a UNESCO Memory of the World by the 9th International Advisory Committee in July 2009 in recognition of its domestic and international contributions.

“DonguiBogam”, translates literally to “inheriting traditional medicine of Joseon to build the standard of traditional medicine,”’ and it serves as a milestone that reflects the status of Eastern medicine. ‘Dongui Bogam Academy’, we provides lectures on basic theory and clinical training of Traditional Korean medicine to promote traditional Korean medicine, deliver clinical technology to satisfy the demands of clinics, and provide opportunities for various clinical experiences. The Academy is a forum to exchange information on local needs and conditions, while providing education on highly developed Traditional Korean medicine practices to reinforce the international status of traditional medicine.
