To acquire adequate knowledge, skills and sense of humanity for leaders in a clinical setting

The Program of Medicine’s goal is to cultivate human resources in medical students who are then able to contribute to society in their role as medical practitioners. Medical students study for six years. During this time students systematically acquire comprehensive medical knowledge, as well as the ability to accurately analyze and successfully evaluate various symptoms and treat diseases. Students also develop their flexible thinking in working in the field of research of medical sciences and treatments, and learn about the administration and legal systems related to medical treatments. Furthermore, the School of Medicine allows students to touch upon various fields of study and culture in order to acquire language abilities corresponding to internationalization and computerization; a rich sense of humanity and broad education; and cultivate attitudes required to be successful medical practitioners.
