We aim to develop physicians who understand and can flexibly apply the fundamentals of knowledge in various forms, not just doctors who simply apply memorized knowledge to patient care.

We will work to provide optimal medical care with a wide range of perspectives, from the viewpoint of individual patients to that of regional medical care.

A basic philosophy of Hiroshima University is to conduct high-quality research and disseminate the results to the world. A longitudinal cohort study of former workers in the Ohkuno-jima poison gas factory and a medical survey of Japanese-Americans – “The Hawaii-Los Angeles-Hiroshima study” – is essential and unique research that we have accomplished. We will continue to disseminate high-quality research results to the world.
