Within our faculty, we are trying to establish a combined educational system catering to co-medical staff students in four departments; Occupational Therapy, Speech-Language and Hearing Therapy, Orthoptics, and Clinical Engineering Technology. The aim of this education system was to instill professionalism and effective communication abilities in the students. We used a questionnaire to investigate the knowledge and attitudes needed for medical on-the-job-training. From this questionnaire, several keywords such as professional, specialist, job, and nursing were identified as being those that most thought were needed in medical on-the-job-training. Based on this data, we introduced two types of combined practical training into the curriculum; "communication skills improvement training" and "medical team conference using an imaginary case report". In these training courses, participants sought to communicate or explain aspects of their profession to participants from other departments. Participants combined each other's information related to diseases or disorders of imaginary cases, and from this, proposed appropriate ideas for interventional methods. We believe that the two practical courses were effective in achieving our goal of improving the communication ability and professionalism among co-medical specialist candidate students.
