This course was established in April 1998 for the purpose of training nursing school educators, researchers in nursing, and high-level clinical nurses. Education and research is carried out in three areas – Health Science and Basic Nursing, Clinical Nursing, and Community and Geriatric Nursing. Also, in order to provide a place for re-education and research to people involved in actual nursing situations and in nursing education, classes and research guidance are provided in the evening and at other special time periods.

This course, while maintaining a fundamental purpose of training researchers and clinical physicians with broad vision, introduced a system of multiple faculty advisors in 2006 in order to implement even more effective and relevant education. In addition, the previous three majors (related to morphology, function, and biosystems) were combined into one major (medicine). This major consists of four areas – High-order Function Control, Morbidity Control, System Biology, and Life Environment Information Analysis. As a result, students can receive the guidance of primary and secondary advisors in various fields of research.
From 2008, education and research were begun in a Clinical Oncology Education Program (an Internal Medicine Oncology Specialist Training Course and a Surgical Oncology Specialist Training Course).
