Redefined Missions
We redefined our missions after discussion with the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. We
looked at our strengths, characteristics, and social roles and took into account objective data concerning levels of research,educational achievement, and university-industry collaboration. Based on the redefined missions, we aim to fulfill our social
responsibilities by strengthening our unique characteristics, developing education, research, and medicine, and fostering
motivated medical professionals.
