School of Medicine
Educational Objectives
Degree Granted: Bachelor of Medicine
Admission Capacity per Year: 110
The School of Medicine aims to build the foundation for medical professionalism through providing quality education and training. Students work hard to acquire the latest knowledge and skills required in the field of medicine and medical sciences over the six-year curriculum.
Throughout their studies, we help students develop respect for life and dignity, and compassion for patients.
Our education focuses on developing problem-solving skills and participating in experiential learning (work at welfare facilities, nursing practicum, ambulance experience, and clinical clerkship as student doctors). These activities are designed to prepare students for clinical medicine.
Students have an excellent study environment and facilities, which include a Student Doctor Learning Commons (open 24 hours for 6th-year students), Clinical Simulation Center, and Anatomy Center.

Curriculum
Advances in medical science are being accompanied by greater medical knowledge and progress in techniques, as well as a diversification of society’s demands. At the same time, the areas in which medical school graduates are active are expanding from medical treatment, R&D, and education to various fields such as welfare, international collaboration, and pharmaceuticals.
Undergraduate education at the School of Medicine addresses needs arising from this trend, and we have designed an integrated curriculum based on the Medical Education Model Core Curriculum.
