Scanning volar wrist and diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome were selected for musculoskeletal ultrasound to train students to use the basic functions of the ultrasound device and scan various structures including tendons, nerves, and arteries. The students were divided into two groups: one group had 8 weeks of training with mock OSCE experience and received feedback about their scan images, and the other group had 3 weeks of training with flipped learning. The OSCE was implemented on the last day of the training. The subjective learning outcomes were analyzed as students\u2019 evaluation with a 5-point scale, and the objective learning outcomes were analyzed using OSCE scores evaluated with a pre-validated checklist. Of the 111 students, 60 (54.1%) responded to the questionnaire. Overall satisfaction with this ultrasound training was high (4.5 \u00b1 0.60). The average OSCE score in the 8-week group was significantly higher than that in the 3-week group. The students\u2019 self-assessment showed no significant differences between the two groups. Proficiency in using ultrasound is affected by the practice time and feedback. Ultrasound training should be further expanded as a required curriculum to meet students\u2019 needs and achieve learning objectives in the clinical skills education of Korean medicine colleges. Further studies are needed on ultrasound education, especially guided interventions for traditional medicine students.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics12071707","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,13]],"date-time":"2022-07-13T22:06:00Z","timestamp":1657749960000},"page":"1707","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Implementation of Objective Structured Clinical Examination on Diagnostic Musculoskeletal Ultrasonography Training in Undergraduate Traditional Korean Medicine Education: An Action Research"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Eunbyul","family":"Cho","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Korean Medicine, Wonkwang University, 460, Iksan-daero, Iksan 54538, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Young-Min","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cheoncheon Public Health Center Branch, 35, Songtan-ro, Cheoncheon-myeon, Jangsu 55607, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yeonseok","family":"Kang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Korean Medicine, Wonkwang University, 460, Iksan-daero, Iksan 54538, Korea"},{"name":"Center for International Cooperation & Education on Korean Medicine, Wonkwang University, Iksan 54538, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5285-7765","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jae-Hyo","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Korean Medicine, Wonkwang University, 460, Iksan-daero, Iksan 54538, Korea"},{"name":"Traditional Medicine Research Center, Wonkwang University, 460, Iksan-daero, Iksan 54538, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Min-Seop","family":"Shin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shin Min Seop Korean Medicine Clinic, 163, Geomapyeong-ro, Jeonju 55056, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Myungjin","family":"Oh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Keumkang Korean Medical Clinic, 714, Naesu-ro, Cheongju 28145, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nam-Geun","family":"Cho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Korean Medicine, Wonkwang University, 460, Iksan-daero, Iksan 54538, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hyun-Jong","family":"Jung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Korean Medicine, Wonkwang University, 460, Iksan-daero, Iksan 54538, Korea"},{"name":"Traditional Medicine Research Center, Wonkwang University, 460, Iksan-daero, Iksan 54538, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3300-5556","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jungtae","family":"Leem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Korean Medicine, Wonkwang University, 460, Iksan-daero, Iksan 54538, Korea"},{"name":"Traditional Medicine Research Center, Wonkwang University, 460, Iksan-daero, Iksan 54538, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Flexner, A.
