So except special advanced emergency care. all t he other subjects had higher score in
three-year-course than four- year-course
6) About the other major-related subjects ‘ the completion credit was 23 on average at
three-year-course and 13.5 at four-year-course.
7) The clinical and on-the-job t raining(OJT) , In the case of three-year- course. the
