| 1. |
|
| The curriculum would aim to explain how modern Japan improved national
living standards at a comparatively lower cost within a half past
century by way of introducing the concept of Western methodology and
adjusting it to Japanese culture and social system, and what is the
actual mechanism of medical administration. Using this knowledge,
the courses purse the question of what is the most desirable method
of resolving the respective problems concerning medical administration
for the country concerned. |

| 2. |
|
| Each subject will deal with various ways of medical administration
in the form of Comparative Studies Education so that they meet the
condition of each country with paying attention to the differences
of economic, social, and environmental background of respective foreign
student. |

|
| Going beyond instruction about skills and knowledge, the curriculum
will seek to cultivate the formation of students’ own ideas,
of identifying problems and developing the ability of finding solutions.
|
|

|
| Through interaction with leading figures engaged in
medical administration and from other fields, the curriculum aims
to create human networks and further the understanding about Japan. |

| Great emphasis is put on writing
Master’s Thesis in the curriculum. Besides writing Master’s
Thesis in English, students are requested to submit the manuscript
of their Master’s Thesis to an international journal in English

Thesis defense meeting. By implementing these activities, the curriculum
aims to help students obtain what is necessary for writing publishable
papers and conducting presentations about their papers. |
