Following the Japan-Korea Symposium at the 37th ICMART World Congress in Jeju, Korea, September 27-29, 2024, another international symposium was held in Daegu on November 17, 2024, by three countries, including not only Japan and Korea but also the Chinese Medical Association of Acupuncture in Taiwan. In addition, a Korean domestic symposium was held by three societies under the Society of Korean Medicine. Korea has been actively inviting such international symposiums in recent years, and international exchanges in the field of acupuncture and moxibustion has been progressing further than ever before. Academia of traditional medicine in Japan needs to respond actively to this trend, including human resource development.
