Background Tuberculosis still remains as intermediate-burden in Korea (Figure 1). For tuberculosis elimination, tuberculosis training/ education play pivotal role. Researches have suggested that provision of appropriate training/education could improve clinical outcome and prevent TB transmission. Despite significant role of TB training/education, TB training/education were poorly investigated. To assess current TB training/education program, identifying current status of TB training/education is inevitable. Hence, in this study, we reviewed articles and programs related to TB training/education in Korea and analyzed. Method A comprehensive review of literature on electronic databases and websites of TB-training providing organizations from year of 1995 to 2021 were undertaken. Result Several organizations from governmental/public sectors such as Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA), Korea National Tuberculosis Association (KNTA), Masan National Tuberculosis Hospital (MNTH), Korea Human Resource Development Institute for Health and Welfare (KOHI), Korea Nurses Association (KNA) were involved in provision of TB training/education. The KDCA conducts activities related to TB control and prevention at national, provincial, and local levels while KNTA, as commissioned by KDCA, provides TB trainings for healthcare workers with collaboration with KNA. In case of MNTH, this medical institute produced 14 TB medical specialists since 1993 and actively engaged in TB education at community level that 67,426 people were educated for TB prevention. Lastly, KOHI institutes provides several TB training/education programs for healthcare workers, medical technologists, and public (Table 1). Conclusion Although sufficient number of TB training/education are being provided. Its quality has never been assessed hence, there is difficulty lies in improvement of TB training/education due to lacking evaluation. Also, due to changing landscape of TB, training/education topics should reflect upcoming demands and be diversified such as inclusion of latent TB, drug-resistant TB and/or HIV/TB. The MNTH, with demonstrated history, is able to meet current demands from TB training/education.
