Abstract:
Tokyo Women's Medical University has been training women doctors since 1900. In 2011, "MD program 2011" was developed as a new outcome-based roadmap for educating women doctors who can contribute to society with sincerity and a warm heart. This program was approved by the Association for Medical Education in the Western Pacific Region (AMEWPR) . The program not only incorporates the good points of previous programs but also contains an up-to-date and advanced curriculum related to professionalism and career development, and has a longitudinal design from a basic to advanced level. It includes two workshops, summer field training, and one lecture. The present paper provides an overview of these four components of the program, introducing educational efforts to further the careers of female doctors graduating from this university.
