Applies to 4th year medical students in the 2023 academic year

The College of Medicine has established an Education Committee responsible for deliberating and deciding on matters related to medical education, including the development, establishment, revision, monitoring, and evaluation of the curriculum. The Committee is comprised of no more than 20 members, including the Vice Dean for Academic Affairs, the Vice Dean for Education, the Head of the Department of Medical Education, the Secretary of the Education Support Office, the Head of the Department of Clinical Medicine, faculty, staff, and student representatives.

The current College of Medicine curriculum is largely comprised of the Integrated Lecture Curriculum, the Problem-Based Learning/Case-Based Learning Curriculum, the Introductory Clinical Medicine Curriculum (ICM), the Patient-Doctor Society Curriculum (PDS), the Advanced Elective Medicine Curriculum, and the Clinical Practice Curriculum.

• The Integrated Lecture Curriculum is structured and operated to foster the minimum scientific knowledge required for primary care physicians, enabling horizontal integration across departments and vertical integration of basic and clinical skills. The problem-based learning curriculum, designed to cultivate students' problem-solving skills and lifelong self-directed learning, utilizes a diverse range of content across all medical education disciplines and is delivered through small group activities.
• The introductory clinical medicine curriculum utilizes a variety of methods to teach students the essential skills of patient care, including history taking, examination, communication, and interpersonal relationships, prior to clinical practice. Furthermore, our university's Clinical Skills Center (CMS Center) provides early training in the fundamental skills necessary for post-graduate clinical practice.
• The patient-physician social studies curriculum focuses on personal development and social areas (such as community disease prevention and health promotion) essential for primary care physicians.
• The advanced elective medical education curriculum is divided into medical research, social research, and elective areas to cultivate leadership responsibilities in a chosen field. This curriculum provides a foundation for students to develop their potential and grow into the talents needed in today's diverse society. The clinical practice curriculum builds on the medical knowledge and basic clinical skills acquired in the first and second years, providing diverse clinical experiences in real-world clinical settings.

To ensure the acquisition of the clinical knowledge and skills necessary for primary care, the curriculum integrates basic medical science, clinical medicine education, and clinical practice. The first and second year clinical medicine curriculum has been reorganized into organ-specific modules to foster an integrated learning experience. The second year integrated lectures focus on the integration of key clinical subjects in primary care, with lectures from various departments focused on understanding and appropriate management of diseases by organ. Clinical practice is conducted for a total of 54 weeks over three semesters, beginning in the first semester of the third year. A two-week elective period is provided during the fourth year, allowing students to freely select their own clinical subjects and institutions, allowing them to practice at various medical institutions.
