Graduate School Doctoral Programs (Applied Medicine Program)

In the Doctoral Programs, students select and conduct clinical research themes under the guidance of their supervising professors, while attending lectures on foundational knowledge of cancer care and a wide range of cancer diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, by rotating through multiple clinical departments (chemotherapy/molecular targeted therapy, radiotherapy, minimally invasive surgery, palliative care, rehabilitation, etc.), students receive hands-on training in the latest cancer care in each department and acquire the multidisciplinary treatment and team medicine essential for cancer care. Throughout the four-year program, the goal is to train experts who will lead the development of advanced cancer care.

Clinical Research Professional Training Program

In the Applied Medicine Program Doctoral Programs, in addition to the Cancer Professional Training Program, we offer programs to train professionals who will lead clinical and epidemiological research involving human subjects. Specifically, this applies if you wish to conduct research on the following themes.

  1. Clinical trials and clinical epidemiological research in clinical medical sciences fields

  2. Medical technology assessment research across all medical sciences

  3. Epidemiological research in the field of preventive medical sciences

The implementation of high-quality clinical research requires a wide range of human resources, including doctors, nurses, pharmacists, research coordinators, data managers, and biostatisticians. Therefore, this program seeks a wide range of talented individuals, not limited to doctors. However, as it is a prerequisite to have a certain level of experience and specialized knowledge necessary for clinical research, those interested should consult with their desired supervising faculty member before the application period. Furthermore, it is possible to conduct the aforementioned research and obtain a Ph.D. in Medicine [Ph.D. (Medicine)] in either the Medical Science Program or the Applied Medicine Program. Please consult with your desired supervising faculty member in advance regarding this point as well.
