Medical professionals paving the way for the medical studies and medical care of tomorrowhttp://www.med.shimane-u.ac.jp/medicine/Course OutlineThe curriculum at the School of Medicine is designed to follow our university’s basic policy for the cultivation of human resources and meet the global standard. The curric-ulum allows students to acquire the rich sense of humanity, high moral values, specialist medical knowledge, and basic skills necessary to function as a medical professional. From the early stages of their university education, students receive a regional-based education that fosters in them a sense of vocation and a strong interest in Regional Medical Care. Also, by receiving education in Medical English and being provided with opportunities to study over-seas, they can develop an internationally-framed way of thinking. Students also get to train their inquisitive minds by engaging in research experience. Furthermore, tutorial-style education enables students to develop their problem-solving, information-gathering and cooperation skills by participating in small groups. Prior to the start of clinical training, imple-mentation of the CBT (Computer-Based Testing) and OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination) tests takes place. During their clinical clerkship, students experience real medical care under the supervision of a supervisory doctor, acquiring basic clinical capabilities. Through this clinical clerkship, which is being utilized at approximately 70 medical care facilities and hospitals within the prefecture in addition to the University Hospital, students learn about Primary Care and Regional Medicine.School of Medicine
