Доктор медицины

The characteristic curriculum of the School of Medicine involves labs, including early exposure, various basic and professional labs, clinical training, and clinical clerkship. For the early exposure program, students can experience medical practice primarily by observation soon after admission. For clinical clerkship, students are involved in actual clinics under the supervision of physicians to prepare themselves as doctors after completing most of the medical courses.

After graduating and passing the national examination for medical practitioners, graduates complete primary clinical training for 2 years. At Hirosaki University Hospital, various training programs are offered to meet the needs of the trainees. From the 3rd year after graduation, they may enroll in the graduate program to obtain further clinical experience while conducting research. In addition, they may continue specialized clinical training.

Hirosaki University was founded more than 70 years ago, in 1949, meaning that the official start date of our university coincides with the establishment of the current Japanese higher educational system. In actuality, Hirosaki University has a history of almost 140 years, though, as this institution is the descendant of Aomori Teachers College, which was an esteemed model for modern general education, and from which we derive Hirosaki University’s basic and most important tenets.

Hirosaki City not only has a rich historical and cultural background but is also blessed with beautiful nature. We are not only surrounded by physical beauty, but we are most fortunate in terms of human resources. We receive a lot of support from local residents, and our students, faculty and staff are grateful and happy to have the opportunity to study and work in this ideal environment.
