Background: Disaster is a serious public issue. Japan is a disaster-prone country, and historically has experienced extremely major disaster-related accidents. Juntendo hospital was established in Tokyo in 1838, and has been reconstructed completely after various disasters as a disaster-resistant hospital.<br>Training design and curriculum: A disaster medicine training program was started for 2nd-year medical students at Juntendo University in 2008, and it has consisted of a general introduction (Lecture, 90 minutes) together with three types of practical training including first aid, victim transport and triage (Practice, each 120 minutes). These practices are carried out in a mixed style “lecture plus problem based learning plus practice exercise”. The key competencies addressed in the general introduction are the types of disasters, the disaster medical system in Japan, DMAT (Disaster Medical Assistant Team), triage methods and crush syndrome. Furthermore, medical students watch the disaster scene video, and discuss the solutions to problems at the scene with problem-based learning. The three types of practices including first aid, victim transport and triage are guided by an emergency care doctor collaborating with non-physician teaching staff members from 13 departments of basic medical sciences.<br>Conclusions: The disaster medicine education and training program at Juntendo University, especially its mixed education style and faculty constitution, is exceptional and unique, and is popular among the students. In order to carry on the Juntendo spirit of ‘unbowed’ hospital, this program should continue to be developed in the future.
