The Korean Society of Cardiology (KSC) is the best academic society in the country founded on 1957 with 63 years of history. Thanks to the members’ the finest medical care and active academic activities, we have become the best academic society leading the country and internationally recognized.

In order to keep the reputation of being the best academic society, we will prepare a turning point for further step to set up a main field and focus our strength on it.
(1) Academics: Our members present a large number of outstanding research results at international conferences and in the well-known journals. To maintain and develop this, we will support the research activities of our members. We will concentrate on increasing internal research funding, encouraging future research, and inviting key members in the evaluator's position to accurately inform our research level.
(2) Policy: To boost the morale of members who are not adequately compensated despite the highest level of medical burden, we will develop our activities to the government. We will emphasize our main role in the emergency medical system in conjunction with the Korean Society of Emergency Medicine, and make efforts to make a proper investment from the government through activities such as coordinating the relative value evaluation of medical care. To foster this environment, we will continue to promote the publicity campaign to the public.

Your interest and participation are important to make our dreams come true. As the 21st President and CEO, I will be faithful to my duties and will keep in mind the important responsibility of preparing a turning point to leap forward based on the achievements of 20 President and CEOs over the past 64 years.

President and CEO,
The Korean Society of Cardiology
