In 1996, our medical school introduced symposium-style learning that is focused on recent advances in medical science as a regular undergraduate program for 6th-year students. The goals of this program are as follows: 1) to teach that good scientific research is essential to support high-quality medical education and medical care, 2) to have students enjoy research in a way they cannot in the ordinary curriculum, and 3) to stimulate interest in research in medical students who may become researchers in the future. Although a long-term survey is needed to evaluate the effects of this kind of learning strategy, an analysis of questionnaires showed that it was effective for the intended purposes. Today, the content of medical education has become diversified, and the social demands on medicine have changed greatly. Thus, we believe it is necessary to develop an education program separately from traditional ones that are primarily oriented to transmission of knowledge.
