内容記述 | International University of Health and Welfare (IUHW) School of Medicine opened in April 2017, 38 years after the government ban on the establishment of new medical schools in Japan. This new medical school was founded in order to educate the next generation of physicians who can contribute to the improvement of the health and welfare of the global community. Six years later, IUHW School of Medicine just graduated its first class in March 2023. IUHW School of Medicine distinguished itself from the other 81 medical schools in Japan in many aspects: teaching medicine in English for the first time in Japan, creating an international learning environment by actively welcoming international students and offering rich English and Japanese language programs, providing ample opportunities for students to learn and practice advanced communication skills in both English and in Japanese from the very beginning of medical school, and providing a curriculum that encourages students to become active learners which is a necessary attitude for life-long learning. This new medical school and its curriculum will not truly bear fruit for another 10, maybe 20 years. However, at the time of the graduation of its first class, there are at least 3 objective outcomes for evaluation: the percentage of students passing the Japanese National Medical Licensure Exam, including for the international students most of whom arrived in Japan six years ago with no Japanese language ability; post-Clinical Clerkship OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination) English medical interview exam results evaluated only by external evaluators from the US, Canada, and the UK; and the number of students who passed the USMLE (United States Medical Licensing Examination) board exams. These results indicate that this innovative and ambitious medical education did accomplish its intended results so far. IUHW School of Medicine was able to achieve 99.2% passing rate for the Japanese National Medical Licensure Exam, with a 100% passing rate among international students. Senior students received excellent external evaluations by US, Canadian, and UK clinical educators for their medical interviewing skills in English, which includes not only clinical knowledge and reasoning abilities but also English language and communication skills to build good rapport with patients. So far, 20 students passed the USMLE Step 1 and four students also passed Step 2 (as of June, 2023). The passing rate for both Step 1 and 2 was 100%. Looking at the trajectory of this new school so far, including the fact that the graduates seem to be equipped with active learning skills gained through many small groups and team-based learning during their medical education, we believe that the graduates of IUHW School of Medicine will indeed improve the health and welfare of the global community, especially that of Asia, in the decades to come. |
