- Recognition of APUA-South Korea as an NGO.
- Establishment a fruitful collaboration with the Asan Medical Center which coordinates the National Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Network.
- Establishment of the Center for Antimicrobial Resistance and Microbial Genetics by Chapter Coordinator Dr. Yang Soo Kim at the University of Ulsan.
- Collaboration with the Center for Antimicrobial Resistance and Microbial Genetics to complete a research project on the difference in the rates of antimicrobial resistance isolated from healthy people before and after the introduction of the separation of the roles of pharmacists from physicians in July of 2000.
- Completion of a brief paper detailing the problem of antibiotic resistance in Korea for the APUA newsletter.
On November 7, 2002, APUA-Korea held the “Inaugural Symposium for APUA-Korea.” More than 500 professionals took part in the symposium. Dr. Stuart Levy was among the many expert presenters.
