Medical School


Contributing Profound Medical Knowledge and Ability to People

The Medical School has its origin in Nagoya Municipal Womenʼs Higher Medical School established in 1943. Since its foundation, the Medical School had come through changes twice before it took the present form in 1950. Education at the Medical School has spanned six years with consistent provision of liberal arts education and professional education. In professional education, the students need to master all subjects, such as basic medicine, basic clinical medicine, social medicine and clinical medicine, and to complete a broad range of medical sciences in general. Also, at the University Hospital, affiliated to the Medical School, the medical students go through clinical training as student doctors in all departments of diagnosis and treatment.
Since the establishment in 1943, a large number of students who have graduated from the Medical School are playing active roles in the front lines of medical practices, researches and administrations. In April 2025, the Medical School plans to establish the program in Nursing and Rehabilitation in the School of Health Sciences (tentative name).We will continue our efforts to develop human resources who will contribute to regional medical care by establishing a new major in rehabilitation studies.
