● 本授業の目的 (purpose of this seminar)
Medical journals exist to provide clinicians, students and the publicwith up to date information on medical technology and medicalpractices. For clinicians, it is of particular interest to read original
papers about recent case reports and practices.
The purpose of this seminar is to introduce research articles frombiomedical journals to the undergraduate MD students at our faculty.
The discussion and article presentation will be made in English. The
seminar is simulation of the situation that can be seen at international
meetings. Also each student will have unique opportunity to assess
own level of speaking and understanding medical English.
