This medical school has been founded for raising clinicians and researchers with profound humanity and integrity, a broad intellect, and substantial medical knowledge who will contribute to realization of a welfare society.

In the past three decades since 1972 (Showa 47) when this medical school was founded, the scientific standard with technical acuity has made a tremendous progress, exceeding general expectations. The rapid progress in the medical science and practice has opened a new era for exploring the new medical modus operandi as a means to serve the whole of humanity, necessitating the institution of new code of conduct, eliminating inhuman aspects of medical practices, and with strict adherence to the principle of informed consent.

Along with arrival of an aging society, physicians are expected to extend medical and welfare services from those applied inside established institutions to those inside the private residence of individual patients. The general public today is pressing institutions of the medical education to train physicians capable of fulfilling the public needs along these lines.

Physicians in the 21st century have to play the central role in public health, medical care, and welfare services. To achieve these goals, it is essential to cultivate human resources capable of readily meeting the public need for medical services with a profound devotion towards humanity and reverence for the dignity of human life.

This medical school is dedicated to the promotion of its founding objectives through raising effective physicians with profound love of humanity, lofty moral principle, and positivism in action.
