Outcome-based education and milestone roadmapAimed at nurturing doctors with a rich humanity
1. 1. Outcome-based education
Current medical education is an outcome-based medical education as its framework. The outcomes of this faculty are the following nine items, which summarize the abilities (competencies) that students should acquire when they graduate from the School of Medicine.
School of Medicine Outcomes
A)Students practice patient-centered medical care
B)Students provide safe medical care
C)Students build good relationships with patients and their families and take responsibility as a member of a team by utilizing communication skills.
D) Students practice medical care based on social systems and laws
E) Students contribute to disease preventions and health promotions
F) Students acquire medical knowledge regarding typical diseases
G)Students provide initial medical care for frequently encountered illnesses
H) Based on EBM, students collect and analyze necessary information and continue our efforts to improve medical treatment abilities for life.
I)Students contribute to the progress of medicine and medical care
In outcome-based medical education, learning outcomes and abilities (competencies) are goals. Students and faculty members and our university need to share this goals and take responsibility for achieving them. It is important to organize lessons and practical training so that you can achieve and acquire this goals by the time you graduate from the School of Medicine, and evaluate whether or not you have achieved them at the milestones. Outcomes can be roughly categorized as three fields: "professionalism," "communication," and "science." Science includes basic medicine, behavioral science and social medicine, clinical medicine, clinical practice and more. Achieving these learning outcomes lead to pass the National Examination.
2. 2. Milestones and roadmap
We create milestones and roadmaps so that you can see at a glance "when and how far you should reach" in the flow of learning. Students, facultymembers and School of Medicine will share this same map and work together to achieve outcomes.
