The Faculty of Medicine, while maintaining a unique system of education and research in the areas of basic and clinical medicine, is engaged in education in a close cooperative system that goes beyond the framework of either. Moreover, it educates students not only about latest developments in medical treatment but also about the ethics of medical science and treatment.

A special feature of the curriculum of the Faculty of Medicine is that, along with taking the necessary liberal arts courses to prepare them to be good members of society, students also begin their specialized education early. After entering the Faculty of Medicine, students first take “Survey of Basic Medicine,” which forms a core of basic medical science. This course serves as a bridge to specialized medical science for those students who have not received sufficient instruction in biology in high school. Second-year students study widely in the Basic Medicine Courses, third-year students learn the basics of clinical medicine, and fourth-year students study in each of the applied clinical courses. At the end of the fourth year, students take a national academic performance and skill examination and, after passing it, begin clinical training in their fifth year. Sixth-year students take an extended graduation examination, and at the same time they prepare for the national examination. In addition to this curriculum for training medical doctors, there is a curriculum for training researchers in medicine and life sciences.

The Faculty of Nursing was established with the aim of training professionals in nursing and public health who can contribute to the maintenance and improvement of health while responding to the improvements in medicine and medical treatment, rapid technological advances, diversification of disease structure, and the aging of the population.

The faculty's aim is to develop accomplished professionals who possess thoughtfulness for others, basic knowledge of the life sciences and a comprehensive knowledge of the health sciences, and nursing and research ability relying on scientific methodology. Graduates will be able to assist in the maintenance and qualitative improvement of people's health and give whole-hearted support to the efforts of the sick to recover.

In the first year, students take General Education classes as well as basic specialized classes. From the 2nd semester of the 1st year they begin Basic Nursing Training and from the 2nd semester of the 3rd begin Clinical Nursing Training in various facilities. Graduates are qualified to take the national nurse and public health nurse examinations.
