Abstract:
To investigate how lectures about Japanese traditional medicine have influenced students, we used a questionnaire to survey their attitudes to it in our medical college. Students who were educated about or who had been treated with Japanese traditional medicine had greater interest and more positive attitudes than other students. The higher-grade students have greater interest in Japanese traditional medicine. These results suggest that lectures and inclusion in standard textbooks are needed in the future to raise medical-college students' awareness of Japanese traditional medicine.
