Since the Clinical Training System for Post-graduate Students was implemented, education at the university medical departments has shifted from lecture-oriented programs to practical training-oriented ones. At Hokkaido University, 5th-year students receive clinical practice for a term of two weeks in each department. For 6th-year students, two long terms (8 weeks per term) of clinical training are given, in which each student chooses one clinical and one basic department. With a view to providing the students with meaningful training in either of the programs, the department employs a tailor-made system, with which it is possible for each student to set up a training program based on his or her own plan. In addition to the basic program, we have various programs that address the varied needs of students. The long-term clinical training in particular provides students with technical skill practice as clerkship students, which was not provided under the former system. Through such training the students understand the situation of each clinical department and are well prepared to start their two-year clinical training after obtaining their medical license. We have programs in which students join the group of clinical doctors and acquire experience as staff members alongside working dermatologists. I hope the students will actively participate in clinical practice and will experience productive training at the Department of Dermatology.
