Tokyo Medical and Dental University.

The trainee physicians who joined our group start their training of Neurology 3rd or 4th years after the graduation. The 1st goal is to pass the board exam of internal medicine and then the board exam of neurology. The neurology training course is operated in the University and affiliated hospitals in a combined manner for 3 to 4 years because the training period require at least 3 years for the internal medicine and 6 years for the neurology exams. During the training in the University, there are 3 full-time training periods for neurophysiology, neuroradiology and neuropathology. Each training period is 2 to 3 months. Clinical neurology is trained mainly in ward as a member of a team composed of an assistant professor, a trainee physician (resident), a junior resident and a student. Around the neurology board exam, those interested in research enter the Graduate School and study for Ph.D. In these 10 years, many members of our department have become professors in neurology, rehabilitation and basic medicine, directors in research institutes, owners or practitioners of clinics, and so on. We will continue to provide a top-level training of neurology following our mission that we contribute peoples' happiness through neurology.
