As the economy grew in the 1970s there was an increasing demand for doctors. In particular, sending doctors to areas where there were none at that time was a major goal for the government. Therefore, the government established a plan to set up 34 new medical universities, which included 17 public, 16 private and one university medical college. Kanazawa Medical University was set up in Uchinada,... near Kanazawa City, in June 1972, as the first private medical university on the Sea of Japan side of the country. Kanazawa City is an academic city, with a long history and tradition of medical education which started in the feudal era.
Since the establishment of the university, we have been committed to the development of good doctors with high ethical standards and compassion. This approach starts with Albert Schweitzer’s idea of Ehrfurcht vor dem Leben (respect for life), and the university crest bears this motto in Latin, Reverentia Vitae.
The mission of Kanazawa Medical University is: “to develop good doctors and nurses, to advance medical knowledge and skills, and to contribute to mankind.” By good doctors and nurses, we mean skilled physicians and nursing professionals who are also compassionate and have high ethical standards. To achieve this, we build a foundation with a focus on developing ethics and compassion.
The educational goal of our university is to develop health care professionals with a strong sense of ethics and compassion, and the resilience to handle adverse conditions. Medicine as science, medical and nursing skills, and empathy with patients are the cornerstones of our educational philosophy. Students at our university have the opportunity to fully utilize an excellent environment with well-regulated facilities, surrounded by a wealth of nature, where they can meet great mentors, make long-lasting friendships and learn from experienced teachers. Kanazawa Medical University enables you to develop into good physicians and nurses, as well as become a person of character. Come and enjoy university life with us.
Mission of Kanazawa Medical University:

• To educate students to become healthcare professionals with high ethical standards and compassion.
