Standing Committees
Continuing Medical Education Committee
(生涯教育委員会)
In recent years, the wave of reforms in undergraduate medical education has been consistently advancing towards ensuring the quality of medical licenses, establishing a structure that integrates postgraduate clinical training with lifelong education as a continuation of decades of learning. At the foundation of this structure lies the ideal framework of a specialist system that guarantees the quality of expertise.
In fact, the revised Medical Education Model Core Curriculum established in 2022 explicitly states the importance of continuously enhancing ten competencies throughout a physician's lifetime. This framework is expected to transform various medical settings into educational environments aligned with the Model Core Curriculum, contributing to the realization of ideal healthcare in the future.
Against this backdrop, our committee will examine the lifelong education of physicians tailored to Japan's national circumstances and the healthcare realities of various regions. We will also explore directions for strengthening collaboration between undergraduate education and the new specialist system, offering practical and specific proposals from diverse perspectives.
