The founding spirit of Kansai Medical University (KMU) is to cultivate human qualities through the ideals of Jijinshinkyo, namely “Benevolence, Compassion and Empathy.”
Based on its founding spirit, KMU’s educational philosophy seeks to prepare good,humanistic physicians who embrace the spirit of scientific inquiry, liberal arts, and a global outlook, all of which flourish in our ac...ademic tradition of freedom, autonomy and self-motivated study. KMU promotes the following educational goals:

• Acquire skills in scientific observation, critical analysis and expression.
• Master medical knowledge and skills that contribute to our society and the world.
• Foster physicians who understand their patients’ pain and point of view.
• Cultivate in physicians the ability to solve problems independently and to seek new knowledge throughout their lives.

We envision shared mid-range and long term goals that will bring gradual progress. Our common purpose is represented by the phrases “ACTION 2015,” KMU’s five year action plan; and “JUMP 2020,” a ten year vision that will launch KMU toward new achievements.
KMU aims to create a center that embraces an international viewpoint in medical and nursing education as well as in research, and offers high quality medical care that is centered in northeastern Osaka and extends throughout the Kinki region.

• Renew the medical and nursing education systems and foster superior medical personnel
• Disseminate education and research results internationally
• Sponsor safe medical treatments that ensure patients’ welfare and best outcome
• Maintain a workplace where one can realize growth of the self and joy in one’s work
• Renovate administrative management and stabilize fiduciary support

In 1983 KMU developed the Medical Education Workshop for medical staff and the Educational Workshop for all teaching staff. In January 2009 KMU became the first in Japan to introduce the Directorship of Medical Education system. With the introduction of the Directorship of Medical Education, KMU implements thorough student guidance system supported by a class advisor in each grade and full-time staff of Medical Education Center to prevent students from following behind. Also in the 6th year, preparation program for achieving 100% of the students to pass the national test are provided.
The Central Research Center is a joint experiment facility for laboratories throughout KMU. The center has everything from general-purpose to advanced lab equipment, including imaging devices such as a confocal microscope and an electron microscope, flow cytometry devices such as four sets of analyzers and two cell sorters, and biochemistry devices such as an autosequencer, a mass spectrometer and a plate reader, as well as a P3-level experiment room. The defining characteristics of the center include the fact that any KMU researcher can make ready use of the latest sophisticated research equipment with the support of the center’s three full-time technologists, and a representative for each department sits on the Central Research Center Use Committee in order to ensure fair and democratic use of the center. The Central Research Center occupies the fifth and sixth floors of the North Wing on the Hirakata Campus and has recently undergone a significant expansion, which includes the addition of an all new open access clinical research laboratory. In this regard, the Central Research Center continues to grow in importance as a core facility supporting a host of research activities at KMU.
Historically, animal experiments have played a major role in development of modern-day physiology and medicine. The understanding of life has advanced both at the molecular and cellular levels; therefore, necessity is increasing in life sciences research to use laboratory animals for in vivo analyses. In the fields of regenerative medicine, immunology, neurophysiology, and stem cell biology, we have achieved substantial, epoch-making results in Kansai Medical University by using various laboratory animals. Moreover, reflecting recent advances in genome studies and the increasingly daily use of gene-modified animals, such as transgenic and geneknockout mice, KMU is working to ensure humane and scientifically appropriate environments for experimental animals.
