Aimed to nurture capable health care personnel who can "feel the pain" of others. This education philosophy is consistent in the four schools and the College of Nursing, and the College of Medical Radiology. The entire system is devoted to nurturing health care personnel who can "feel the pain" of others.
Collaboration research to bring forth valuable information recognized by both domestic and international societies. Showa University research's unique feature is the collaboration research contributed by all four schools of Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Nursing and Rehabilitation Sciences. Researchers both collaborate and compete beyond their specialty margin with other Showa University researchers, resulting in many achievements in various fields of life sciences every year. These achievements are presented at numerous society meetings, and many high-quality publications from Showa University are widely recognized both domestically and internationally.
The eight affiliated hospitals of Showa University, each with its originality and specialty, provide high-tech referrals and a high standard of general community medicine, with careful consideration given to patient QOL. Today, facing rapid changes in the medical system, Showa University has taken the initiative to install new programs. Showa University was one of the first to incorporate the risk management system to establish medical care safety.
The features of education at Showa University include updates from professors at another school, thus taking advantage of Showa University being a general medical university and a vast array of clinical training at the eight affiliated hospitals. Also, with the teaching staff working on the front line, they can provide thorough instruction that is highly detailed. These features all lead to higher than national average passing rates of all national board exams.
With "Shisei Ikkan," being the founding spirit, the consistent social mission of Showa University is "intellectual production," "cultivation of personality," and "pursual of life science." We pour our effort into nurturing human resources with sound knowledge, skill, and personality to deliver quality patient-centered medical care.
The uniqueness of the education at Showa University is that the 1st year education for all four schools (Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Nursing and Rehabilitation Sciences) is carried out at the base of Mt. Fuji, the highest and most beautiful mountain in Japan, with all students staying in a dormitory. Mt. Fuji's peak is at an altitude of 3,776 meters. It is located in the center of Japan, and it is an active volcano that has repeatedly erupted for almost 7,000 years. Although it has been quiet since the last eruption, which was about 300 years ago, because the repeated eruptions have caused disasters and flooding due to melted snow, Mt. Fuji has been awed as a spiritual height since ancient times.
