What is the Entrepreneurship Training Course?
In recent years, the role of universities has been re-evaluated. In addition to cultivating researchers and educators, a new mission has emerged: to foster entrepreneurs who can transform the industrial structure of the next generation. In response to these demands, the Master's Program of the Graduate School of Medicine has established the Entrepreneurship Training Course in addition to its conventional broad medical education. Entrepreneurship education in the health and medical fields is expected to develop further in the future. In this coming era, it is expected that many university-launched ventures will emerge from schools of medicine and faculties of pharmacy in Japan. We aim to cultivate human resources who are well-versed in both medical sciences and business, and who can lead the management of these new enterprises.
