The origin of Chiba University School of Medicine dates back to 1874 when Kyoritsu Hospital was established by donations from the people of Chiba town and surrounding villages. Many excellent clinicians and medical researchers have been educated in Chiba University School of Medicine for 135 years and they have greatly contributed to medical progress. Faculty members and students in our university have to follow the tradition of the great history of our university by dedicating ourselves to medicine and medical sciences.
Nowadays all hospitals including university hospital in Japan are facing many difficult problems. Even in such difficult environment our students in Chiba University School of Medicine have to think how they can contribute to enhancement of people's health and welfare as a physician in the future. The faculty members of Chiba University School of medicine are aiming to produce not only excellent clinicians but also physician scientists with strong motivation and capability for medical research. We have obtained several competitive research budgets including Global COE Program. We will promote translational research connecting basic medical science and clinical application.
We will educate young students in the hope that they will become leading medical doctors, physician scientists and life scientists. We will do our best to take into account society's wishes, opinions and criticisms, and to meet the expectations. We greatly appreciate your continuous support to our efforts.
