2025年2月8日、日本漢方医学教育振興財団の研究助成に採択され、東京都千代田区の都市センターホテルにて授賞式が行われました。 今回の研究課題は、医学教育センターの山本恭子先生、産婦人科の西田欣広先生らと共同で申請したもので、テーマは 「Near-peer teaching (NPT)による漢方医学教育の実践と教育効果の検討」です。 漢方医学を指導できる教員が限られる中で、漢方に積極的に取り組む若手医師や、東洋医学研究会に所属する医学部学生が講師となり、漢方教育の講義や実習を指導する取り組みの教育的効果を検討するものです。 授賞式では、「奨励賞」や「功労賞」を受賞された先生方の基調講演のほか、前年度に採択された先生による研究助成報告会＜シンポジウム＞も行われ、漢方医学教育の今後の展開について活発な意見交換がなされました。

　 On February 8, 2025, our research project was selected for a grant from the Japan Kampo Medicine Education Fundation (JKME) , and an award ceremony was held at the Toshi Center Hotel in Chiyoda, Tokyo. The research project, jointly proposed by Dr. Kyoko Yamamoto (Center for Medical Education) and Dr. Yoshihiro Nishida (Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology), is titled: “Implementation and Educational Effectiveness of Kampo Medical Education through Near-Peer Teaching (NPT)”. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a new educational approach in which young physicians who are actively engaged in Kampo medicine, as well as medical students belonging to the Oriental Medicine Study Group, serve as instructors to teach lectures and practical sessions on Kampo medicine—addressing the shortage of faculty members specialized in this field. During the ceremony, keynote lectures were delivered by the recipients of the Encouragement Award and Meritorious Service Award, followed by the Grant Research Symposium, where participants actively discussed the future development of Kampo medical education.
