The goals of the Graduate School of Medicine are to foster researchers and specialists who can independently contribute to medical development and to develop breakthroughs in medical fields .

While fostering and maintaining clinical specialists with advanced knowledge and skills, and researchers who lead the field of medicine, we promote all-round educational studies integrating basic and clinical medicine in both research and education.
