For 114 years, Iwate Medical University has progressed with the local community and fulfilled the responsibility of serving as the hub of community medicine. Today, a large-scale relocation project is in the works: the faculties, the Interdepartmental Equipment Center, laboratories, and the University Hospital will be relocated to a large new campus; and in Uchimaru of central Morioka, where th...e current campus is located, a Medical Center will be established.
The mission of the University is to nurture true and good human beings through education of medical, dental, and pharmacological sciences. Students will deepen their understanding of the humanities, gain sufficient knowledge and skills, pursue specialized academic interests, acquire experience through practical training, and contribute to the advancement of their sciences, by dedicating themselves to people’s health and welfare once out of the University, and as earnest scholars while in the University.
In April 2011, all of the 6-year curricula of the faculties, except for clinical practicums, will be taught on the new Yahaba campus, where a unique interdepartmental education system and facilities will be established.
No other university provides such an environment where, for instance, a pharmacology student aspiring to be a pharmacist or a researcher can, on a regular basis, learn from medical and dental professors involved in the latest medical science.
Medical professionals today are expected to put emphasis on treating patients as a whole person, instead of only focusing on the diseases. Dentists are also expected to consider the whole body when treating a dental malady, as a part of a more general disorder. To nurture professionals who can treat patients as a whole person rather than those who only focus on the diseases, Iwate Medical University strives to become the world’s leading institution in education, treatment, and research, with advanced facilities and sound administration, under a close coordination of the faculties.
With the founding principle of “being a true and good human being before being a doctor” in mind, we hope that you not only gain expertise and skills but also a wide range of knowledge and a deep love for humanity, surrounded by the latest facilities and the excellent teaching staff and supported by the interdepartmental education system, and develop as socially responsible medical professionals and researchers.
The educational hub that nurtures professionals who face “human life” responds to the voices of the next generation. The spring of 2007 marked a new phase for Iwate Medical University, with a three-faculty system of the School of Medicine, the School of Dentistry, and the School of Pharmacy. Each faculty is working autonomously towards the nurturing of doctors, dentists, and pharmacists. The in-depth coordination among the three faculties is also a notable characteristic of our university.
The relationship between education and research is becoming increasingly stronger, and the spirit of collaboration is embodying itself in various scenes. Achievements made from a wide perspective will lead to a deep and wide knowledge. As a medical university, we provide an environment where one can gain specialized knowledge and skills as well as pursue multidimensional studies. Furthermore, the University Hospital with over 20 departments provides a precious opportunity for clinical practicum. The incomparable appeal of Iwate Medical University stems from the organic relation of educational, research, and clinical abilities that simultaneously nurture specialized and interdisciplinary minds.
