Abstract
With regard to the similarities in the social welfare system and cultural background between Korea and Japan, clinical practice for dizziness as well as the entire otolaryngologic practice have a lot in common. The two countries are sharing not only the present issues of medical education, training and healthcare insurance, but also the social demand and requirements for the future, which will be caused by the aging society and the concomitant increment in health care expenditure. Based on an awareness of commonalities and differences between the two countries, we can develop a medical approach for the patients as well as providing worldwide academic leadership. In this paper, I would like to introduce Korea's medical and health care system, and my personal opinions regarding the development of the future relationship between the two countries.
