In it are recorded the past year’s research, educational, clinical, and other activities of the Graduate School of Medicine and Faculty of Medicine, the International Research Center for Medical Education, and the Tokyo Society of Medical Sciences. It reports our accomplishments, and each year we make such a document freely available by publishing it on compact disk and on the Internet, expecting it to be used for internal and external evaluations. The University of Tokyo’s Faculty of Medicine was founded 150 years ago. Since then we have consistently driven Japan’s progress in medical research, medical education, and clinical care, and in some fields we have become world leaders. We have more than 1000 students in the Graduate School of Medicine, and with as many as 150 foreign researchers and students we are an international center for medical research and education. Pursuing excellence in our research, educational, and clinical activities, we will continue meeting the needs for tomorrow’s pioneers in medical sciences and clinical care.
