PRINCIPLE

We conduct cutting edge academic medical research. With an eye to the future, our goal is to educate the next generation of medical staff and researchers with a high level of knowledge, skills and ethics in the fields of medicine, nursing, and medical sciences. We aim to advance the studies of medicine, nursing, and medical sciences to improve national healthcare and societal welfare both domestically and internationally.

Our vision is to provide the best patient-centered medical care. We contribute to the well-being of the community by fostering medical personnel with high ethical standards who provide highly advanced medical care.

Faculty of Medicine

The Faculty of Medicine consists of three departments: Department of Medicine, Department of Nursing, and Department of Advanced Medical Sciences. We conduct cutting edge academic research of medicine, nursing, and medical sciences. Our goal is to educate medical personnel (physicians, nurses, public nurses, clinical laboratory technicians, and clinical engineers) and researchers with a high level of knowledge, skills and ethics. We aim to advance national healthcare and societal welfare both domestically and internationally. In the Departments of Medicine and Nursing, we have improved our academic curricula to keep pace with the dynamic and rapid improvement of modern medicine, the medical needs of society, and the international standards for medical education. The Department of Medicine has shifted from a discipline-based method organized by medical departments, into the seamless integrated education of liberal arts, basic medicine, and clinical medicine. We also promote problem-based and community-based learning for a more effective clinical clerkship. The Department of Nursing has also improved its curriculum, changing to an integrated education of liberal arts, basic nursing, and clinical nursing. Additionally, diverse trials are practiced to promote an integrated curriculum with nurse education and public health nurse education, and to foster high level clinical nursing staff. The Department of Advanced Medical Sciences has a curriculum consisting of four groups of subjects: integrated advanced medical science, English and international studies, creative future career design, and medical management. Our goal is to educate students with “comprehensive knowledge” of natural and social sciences in order to stimulate innovation.

School of Medicine

Educational Mission:

Our mission is to educate and develop future physicians with a deep understanding of patients' perspectives, enriched cultural and humanistic awareness, and advanced academic knowledge. We strive to cultivate lifelong learners with a broad international viewpoint and the ability to provide all-inclusive medical care. Our education programs are designed to develop students for the skills to address health issues in a comprehensive and compassionate manner.

Research Vision:

Our vision is to lead the field of medical research by engaging in basic and advanced life sciences. We are committed to promoting health maintenance and welfare addressing and overcoming diseases, and developing medical research with an emphasis on preventive medicine. We aim to improve local and global health and welfare through collaborative research on health and hygiene and contribute to the improvement of public health, medical care, and social welfare.

School of Nursing

Nursing Education

The goal of the Department of Nursing is for students to acquire professional knowledge and skills of nursing practice, so that they can provide patients with a healthy physical and mental life. In addition, we educate our students to be kind and caring nurses so that they may contribute to the progress of nursing and help to improve healthcare and welfare, both locally and throughout the world.

Nursing Research

In order to respond to people's various and complex health problems, both physical and mental, we conduct research on effective nursing theories and techniques. Moreover, we promote research based on practical science that is focused on people and their lifestyles, and which concentrates on the contributions of professional nursing practice. In this way, we contribute to the development of the science of nursing, the improvement of health, medical care, and welfare, both locally and internationally.

Department of Advanced Medical Sciences

Advanced Medical Science Education

Our goal is for students to communicate with medical and non-medical personnel to develop medical business management cooperation with university/corporate researchers, medical professionals, and entrepreneurs. In addition, we educate our students to play an active role as future leaders of medical-engineering and medical-life science collaboration.

Advanced Medical Science Research

In order to stimulate innovation, we conduct integrated research on medical science, natural science, and social science. Moreover, we promote research based on human life, the relationship between health/disease and laboratory testing, the relationship between health/disease and clinical engineering, and the development of medical equipment. Such interdisciplinary research will help to define the future of medical care. In this way, we work toward improving public health, medical care, and welfare, both domestically and internationally.

Graduate School of Medicine

Graduate School of Medicine is composed of Masterʼ s Program and Doctoral (Ph.D) Program. The Doctoral Program has one professional course. The main purpose of the Doctoral Program is to foster a medical research professional or a clinician of high quality. The Masterʼ s Program has one nursing science course.The purpose of the Nursing Course is to foster highly professional nursing staff and nursing educational professionals, who posses broad professional knowledge and viewpoints on medicine.
