E-2 Designated Hospitals for Native English Teachers in Korea

Most of the time, schools usually provide information about the nearby hospitals. However, sometimes they ask teachers to visit the hospital and do the E-2 visa medical exam or health checkup by themselves.

If you have more time, we also recommend that teachers visit large university hospitals (대학교병원), as they often have dedicated English-speaking staff or international clinics (국제진료센터). However, please keep in mind that the hospital fees may be higher. Since the E-2 medical exam is typically paid out of pocket, some teachers may prefer smaller hospitals.
