Kawasaki Medical School

Today, our society undertakes an aging society's challenges, computerization, globalization, and technical innovation. Medical universities are socially expected to train physicians capable of responding to these challenges and providing high-level medical services.

Our medical university must evolve to fulfill more responsibilities by reviewing our advanced educational and medical system, which has been cultivated since the establishment of Kawasaki Gakuen. We are also tasked with evolving this school system into an institution of advanced and concentrated knowledge. And we must steadily pursue our ends to provide competent physicians who can meet the demands of society and take responsibility as a leader in medical science to help people in need.

We are to make every effort to contribute to education, research, and medical services, making fair use of our unique features.
