Doctor of Medicine

The characteristic curriculum of the School of Medicine involves labs, including early exposure, various basic and professional labs, clinical training, and clinical clerkship. For the early exposure program, students can experience medical practice primarily by observation soon after admission. For clinical clerkship, students are involved in actual clinics under the supervision of physicians to prepare themselves as doctors after completing most of the medical courses.

After graduating and passing the national examination for medical practitioners, graduates complete primary clinical training for 2 years. At Hirosaki University Hospital, various training programs are offered to meet the needs of the trainees. From the 3rd year after graduation, they may enroll in the graduate program to obtain further clinical experience while conducting research. In addition, they may continue specialized clinical training.
