Clinical Clerkship Committee
(臨床実習委員会)

---

With the advancement and complexity of healthcare, the knowledge and skills that physicians must acquire have significantly increased. Along with the aging population, changes in disease patterns, and shifts in the doctor-patient relationship, the importance of professionalism education, including communication with patients and other healthcare providers, has also grown.

Following the amendment of the Medical Practitioners Act, which legally recognizes the medical acts performed by medical students who pass the shared examination during clinical practice, there is now a pressing need to promote participatory clinical clerkship that allows medical students to engage in patient care and develop these essential qualities and abilities.

This committee will examine and propose specific strategies for promoting participatory clinical clerkship in universities and off-campus training facilities, focusing on improving the training environment and transforming the awareness of educators. Additionally, we will consider the timing and content of preparatory education connected to participatory clinical clerkship, which includes early exposure experiences, simulation based education, and observational clinical practice.
