Abstract:
Radical changes were made last year in the educational program of liberal arts at Juntendo University School of Medicine. The number of required courses was decreased, and students were given more freedom to choose electives. A survey at the end of the first semester evaluating the reforms showed great satisfaction on both sides: students were highly motivated to study, and the teachers were ready to answer their needs.
