Tohoku Medical and Pharmaceutical University was founded in 1939 as the Tohoku School of Pharmacy, the only pharmaceutical education institution in the Tohoku and Hokkaido area. Ever since, our university has consistently offered educational programs that enable pharmacy graduates to contribute to society successfully. The Department of Pharmaceutical Life Sciences aims to train students to acquire a broad knowledge of pharmaceutical sciences and medicine to make a valuable contribution to society, and the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences nurtures competent pharmacists with a higher level of professional skills.
Department of Medicine aims to cultivate doctors that can acquire advanced expertise and skill to contribute to the Tohoku region's healthcare with enthusiasm.
When establishing the university, the founders primarily aimed to train students to be pharmacists who could contribute to the local community. However, one of their larger aims was to contribute to human beings' health and welfare through the education and research of pharmaceutical sciences and desired to push forward with the pursuit of truth. This spirit was condensed into Giichi Takayanagi' s appeal to "The pursuit of truth," engraved into a monument as the founding spirit of the former Tohoku Pharmaceutical University, and are guiding us even now as Tohoku Medical and Pharmaceutical University started with the establishment of a new department of medicine.
The pursuit of truth is the starting point of a university's mission to educate and research. This spirit requires us to make serious efforts for education and research activities in medicine and pharmaceutical sciences.
Based on its keystone principle of the search for truth in nature and human society, Tohoku Medical and Pharmaceutical University has emphasized teaching a higher level of specialized knowledge and skills of pharmaceutical sciences and medicine. They deal with human life, require a broad outlook, and well-rounded humanity.
Based on the founding spirit of "The Pursuit of Truth," and hoping to contribute to human beings' health and welfare through education and research in pharmaceutical sciences and medicine.
