Our daily work is dedicated to a word of gratitude and a smile of contentment from our patients and their family members.
In order to win the trust of people we serve we arm that:

･We will do our utmost to gain advanced knowledge and skills in medicine.
･We will cultivate empathy for the suffering and sorrow that accompany disease, and will always maintain a strong sense of ethics.

The above is the mission of TMDU, which we declare with humility and strive to achieve.

Through our mission,“ Cultivating Professionals with Knowledge and Humanity,” TMDU manifests the three following educational philosophies:

･To provide students with a broad education and a rich sensibility
･To educate creative people capable of diagnosing and solving problems independently
･To train medical professionals with a rich international quality

1. This symbol was designed to show the history of the development of Tokyo Medical and Dental University. Its shape represents the plum blossom, which is also the symbol of the neighboring shrine Yushima Tenmangu. Yushima Tenmangu is also known as Yushima Tenjin; Tenjin is the Shinto god of knowledge.

2. The center circle of this symbol, the core of the flower, was the emblem of the former Tokyo Koto Shikaigakko (Tokyo National School of Dentistry) and the five petals around the core show the present university which has developed from that school.

3. The five petals express the Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Dentistry, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Institute of Biomaterials and Bioengineering, and Medical Research Institute, and these five petals, which join together to make the flower bloom, represent the activity of the university.

4. The bold outline of these petals suggests further development and progress in the future.
