Tokyo Medical and Dental University and Partners Harvard Medical International, Inc. Alliance for Medical Education

  Since 2002, TMDU has cooperated with Harvard Medical International, Inc. (Partners Harverd Medical International, Inc. since 2008) and implemented wide-ranging reforms into our medical education.  One of the chief aims of this alliance is to create a new model of medical education in Japan in order to meet various challenges we face in the 21st century.  Partnering with PHMI, closely related to Harvard Medical School, TMDU has introduced new ideas and approaches into its curriculum, including patient-doctor relationship courses, hybrid programs integrating basic science and clinical studies, and innovative clinical clerkship programs.
  This alliance also provides TMDU students with a chance to take part in a clinical clerkship at Harvard Medical School.
