Description

Globalization of medical education requires Japanese medical schools to restructure their education programs. Within the international standards of medical education, the Basic Medical Education WFME (World Federation for Medical Education) Global Standards for Quality Improvement and within its Japanese version published by the Japan Society of Medical Education, “Behavioural Science” appears as a bold heading. However, for many medical educators, “Behavioural Science/Medicine” is still an unfamiliar term. In consideration of this, the Japanese Society of Behavioural Medicine is preparing to publish the “Core Curriculum for Behavioural Medicine in Japanese Medical Education”. In this article, four medical education related documents, the Basic Medical Education WFME Global Standards, its Japanese version, the Scope of the Japanese National Examination for Medical Doctors, and the Model Core Curriculum for Medical Education in Japan, were reviewed from the viewpoint of “Behavioural Science/Medicine” to discuss the importance and direction of the upcoming “Core Curriculum for Behavioural Medicine in Japanese Medical Education”.
