Summary:Objectives: This study reviews the history of telemedicine in Korea and presents future directions for telemedicine. Methods: Journal papers, reports, and government publications on telemedicine were collected and reviewed as technological advances sequenced in chronological order. Results: Development of telemedicine in the Republic of Korea was promoted by revising medical law in 2003 and introducing broadband internet services in 1999.
