The research guidance group consists of three members in total: one chief academic supervisor and two assistant academic supervisors.
②　学生は、主指導教員と相談のうえ、副指導教員を選ぶ。主指導教員は、学生が研究計画を遂行する上で適切な副指導教員を選ぶように指導する。
Students should choose their assistant academic supervisors through consultation with their chief academic supervisor, who should instruct them to choose appropriate assistant academic supervisors to supervise their research.
③　研究科教育委員会は、研究プロジェクト、学生の希望等について十分調査し、研究の実態に合った研究指導グループを編成するよう調整する。
The Education Committee of GSBHS should organize a research guidance group that can satisfy the research requirements of students after fully examining their research projects and wishes.

If a vacancy occurs in the post of academic supervisor due to a transfer or for other reasons, a successor should be appointed immediately so as not to prevent students from implementing their research proposals. The Education Committee of GSBHS should make the necessary arrangements for this.

(2) 主指導教員 Chief Academic Supervisor
①　主指導教員は、原則として教授が担当し、履修計画の作成、研究計画の立案、研究の遂行、研究中間報告の作成、学位論文の作成及び学位請求などの指導を行う。ただし、教授が認めた場合は、准教授又は講師が主指導教員を担当することができる。このとき、当該教授は副指導教員を担当することとする。
　なお、主指導教員を担当する教授は、寄附講座以外の講座（基幹講座，協力講座等）に所属している者とする。
A professor should serve as chief academic supervisor, in principle, who should provide guidance to help students prepare their course registration plan, formulate their research proposal, conduct their research, prepare an interim report on their research, write their dissertation, and apply for a doctoral degree. However, only when the professor admits, an associate professor or a lecturer could be a chief academic supervisor, and the professor will be in charge as an assistant academic supervisor.
②　主指導教員が指導する学生数については、実質的かつ十分な研究指導が可能であることを考慮する。
The number of students assigned to each chief academic supervisor should be determined to ensure that the supervisor can provide sufficient practical research guidance.

(3) 副指導教員 Assistant Academic Supervisor
①　副指導教員は、教授(主指導教員とは別)、准教授、講師又は博士の学位を有する助教が担当し、研究計画、研究進捗状況及び学位論文についての助言などの指導を、主指導教員と協力して行う。
A professor (excluding the chief academic supervisor), associate professor, lecturer or assistant professor with Ph should serve as assistant academic supervisor, who should provide advice to students about their research proposal, the progress of their research, and their dissertation in cooperation with the chief academic supervisor.
②　副指導教員のうち1名は、幅広い分野からの指導を可能とするために、主指導教員と異なるプログラムの教員が担当する。また、必要に応じて他研究科・他大学の教員及び広島大学病院所属の准教授、講師又は博士の学位を有する助教が副指導教員を担当することができる。
One of the assistant academic supervisors should be chosen from a different program, so that research guidance can be provided for a wide range of fields.
An associate professor, a lecturer or an assistant professor with Ph who are working at another graduate school of Hiroshima University, another university, or Hiroshima University Hospital may serve as an assistant academic supervisor as needed.
