Background; The clinical clerkship is essential for ensuring that newly licensed doctors of Korean Medicine (KM) have the necessary skills and knowledge to provide optimal patient care. Pre-clerkship training is gaining significance as it equips trainees with the necessary skills to effectively interact with patients in medical settings and deal with unexpected events. The present study aims to report the design, development, and implementation of online course content for pre-clerkship training, and to explore its potential in fostering the development of competent future doctors of KM. Methods; This study is a qualitative case study on e-learning content design and development. This study referred to the rapid prototyping instructional systems design model to develop a series of e-learning content from January to February 2024. Project initiation, analysis, design, development, and implementation were conducted in parallel, rather than sequentially. Usability testing and evaluation of the program were not involved in this study. Results; An instructional designer, client, and developer formed a project team. Analysis results were derived from literature review and discussion with the subject matter expert. Storyboards for the lecture type and demonstration type were designed. The <KM Rehabilitation clerkship: real patient care and charting> series were developed into seven video classes based on paper-based storyboards. The online lecture videos were uploaded on YouTube, and students were provided access to the video. Discussion and conclusion; This study presents detailed steps for designing, developing, and implementing online lecture videos to supplement the clinical clerkship in KM education. Further investigations on the design of curriculum for preclerkship training and effective teaching strategies are needed.
