Abstract:
The Committe of the Ministry of Education, Sience and Culture of Japan on “Medical Education and Health Care of 21st Century” has specifically made a recommendation, in June, 1996, that Japanese medical school should consider adopting a system similar to that in the USA in that medical school may become 4 years curriculum accepting graduates of 4 years non-medical university curriculum. There are many features in contemporary Japan which make this “4+4” years medical education system highly meritorious.
