Nippon Medical School (Official)

Nippon Medical School (NMS) is Japan’s oldest private medical school having been established in 1876. Guided by its founding principle, Saisei-Kyumin (to save people everywhere), and a credo embracing Kokki-Junko (Dedication to Medicine and Human Health), for 140 years NMS has focused on ensuring that its graduates are equipped with ideals and qualities embodying these concepts. Moreover, NMS boasts a long-standing tradition of fostering a culture of free academic inquiry. In line with our educational philosophy of nurturing outstanding physicians and medical practitioners who exhibit human empathy and academic zeal, we have been working to equip our students with correct and accurate medical understanding and skills while encouraging them to maintain resourceful and open minds.

日本医科大学は1876年に創設された140年以上続く我が国最古の私立医科大学です。建学の精神および学是は「済生救民」と「克己殉公」であり、医師としてあるべき姿をこの学び舎から巣立つ者に求めています。長い歴史を歩んで辿り着いた「アカデミズムの自由」の環境の中で、「愛と研究心を有する質の高い医師と医学者の育成」を教育理念として掲げ、確かな医療知識と技術、そして豊かな人間性を併せ持つ医療人の育成に努めています。
