Abstract:
Workshops for medical education have been held at Kurume University every 1 or 2 years since 1977. In these workshops, teachers and students passionately discuss methods and strategies for improving medical education. The purpose of medical education is to produce good physicians through free and comprehensive ways of thinking. The outcomes of the workshops have been introduced to the curriculum in approximately 65% of the areas discussed. To take part in workshops increases motivation for education in more than 80% of the participants.
