Cultivating Competent Physicians
The Goal of Education
Our goal is "raising competent medical practitioners." Competent physicians are defined as those with: 1) solid professional knowledge founded on profound humanity and social vision, and 2) an unflinching spirit for exploration and a scientific way of thinking.
Our Fundamental Philosophy
The principle of curricular integration is to teach all subjects not item by item but rather as a part of a closely interrelated total and integrated with the entire six-year undergraduate program. It enables students, for example, to grasp all aspects of diseases in close coordination with each respective organ and its function. This system also aims to cultivate "the practice of serious deliberation" through problem-based learning (PBL) in small groups.
