◆ Educational Purposes

  Approaching health and environments of working people through the eyes of medical science, occupational health physicians play extremely important roles for several reasons, including their support for the development and revitalization of industry. The School of Medicine trains occupational health physicians with rich humanity that enables them to consider medical science more deeply and from wider perspectives in industrial society.


◆ Department Overview

  The University of Occupational and Environmental Health, Japan is the only university in Japan dedicated to training occupational physicians. Building on a more than 40 years of experience, we have been producing physicians who possess the professional competence and the human qualities, both of which are necessary to practice occupational medicine, a field that has been increasingly important in society. At the same time, we have consistently maintained a high pass rate on the National Medical Licensing Examination, and many of our graduates are making significant contributions in a wide range of related fields.


◆ Curriculum Overview

  In the School of Medicine, we foster students' motivation to pursue medicine from an early stage through basic medical education beginning in
the first year, and we cultivate their research interest through laboratory placement in the third year. We also introduce an integrated curriculum
with a distinct medical emphasis, moving beyond traditional general educational models. We facilitate self-directed learning and interactive
education through comprehensive education seminars. Furthermore, we provide a comprehensive six-year educational program in occupational
medicine. Guided by this fundamental policy, we offer diverse lectures and practical training which go beyond standard medical education to
advance occupational medicine and cultivate outstanding occupational physicians -- the primary objective of our university.
