5th & 6th Years

In the 5th year, students perform trainings for the actual medical practice on the scene (Bed Side Learning, BSL). Courses of BSL are divided according to closely related pathobiology so that students may understand the interrelation of diverse subjects. In BSL, students are assigned to patients from whom they learn the diagnosis and therapy of diseases and participate in the case presentation as part of the programs in common.

From 2004 (Heisei 16), eight clinical departments have put into operation gclinical clerkshiph wherein students participate on the scene in the diagnosis and therapy of patients as a member of the attending team of doctors. Of note, the prerequisite for the clinical clerkship is a meticulous supervision by the tutor, defining the scope of medical activity allowable for the students and sufficient informed consent from the patient. By taking these matters into due consideration, our school has been steadily enriching the clinical clerkship.

The 6th year students try to acquire the habit of vigorous self-study, to consolidate the knowledge of clinical medicine, and to prepare for National Examination for Physicians.
