Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to conduct research for the development of faculty evaluation systems in medical schools. This study was able not only to advance research on faculty evaluation systems, but also to conduct research on admission policies and faculty development, which are important from the perspective of learning outcome-based education, central to quality assurance in higher education in recent years. Furthermore, from the perspective of international comparative research, a visit to a medical school in the United States was conducted, leading to the identification of the status and issues of faculty evaluation systems.
