Tokyo Women’s Medical University School of Medicine underwent a multifaceted medical education assessment by the Japan Accreditation Council for Medical Education (JACME) in November 2019 and was accredited as meeting the global standards in June 2020. Various educational approaches implemented by the entire School of Medicine were highly rated, demonstrating that students receive the highest levels of education in Japan. We are all committed to continuously innovating educational programs and further improving the quality of education.

In order to nurture medical professionals who can promote research in medical sciences and make further beneficial contributions to medical sciences and society, we have established the Graduate School of Medical Science (usually a 4-year doctoral course and a 3-year course for exceptional cases). The Ph.D. degree is given to students who have earned sufficient credits and passed the thesis review and final examination. We also offer a basic research doctor training program for undergraduates (3 to 6-year students). This program includes both junior residential training and first and second-year graduate courses. By successfully completing this program, the student earns credits in graduate school, earning a Ph.D. in 4 years after their graduation.

In 1900, YOSHIOKA Yayoi founded Tokyo Women’s Medical School, the predecessor of Tokyo Women’s Medical University (TWMU) today. Yoshioka was a passionate advocate of investing in the establishment of a medical university for women. Yoshioka voiced the need to empower women with medical education that would enable them to alleviate human suffering, to signify the women’s s competence to execute treatment and care, and to ensure their “economic independence.” It was a mission accomplished with remarkable foresight, courage, commitment, and perseverance at a time in history when suffrage and medical education for women seemed inconceivable. Yoshioka’s core values continue to define the academic philosophy and mission of Tokyo Women’s Medical University: to nurture women medical doctors dedicated to pursuing their profession with“Sincerity and Compassion.”

Tokyo Women’s Medical University has developed from Tokyo Women’s Medical School and has produced many female physicians who have contributed to our society. Tokyo Women’s Medical University School of Medicine was established in 1950. Tokyo Women’s Medical College was established in 1952. Then, in 1998, the School of Nursing was added. In the 21st century, the Institute of Advanced Biomedical Engineering and Science was established in 2008, Tokyo Women’s Medical University Institute for Integrated Medical Sciences (TIIMS) was established in 2010, and Intelligent Clinical Research and Innovation Center was established in 2012. In this way, our university has expanded its medical research institutions to respond to contemporary needs. It continues to enhance the facilities and develop female physicians who can contribute to the health of people while pursuing advanced, holistic, and safe medicine.
