Overview of Graduate School of Biomedical & Health Sciences,
Hiroshima University
Program of Medicine
We develop educators and researchers with extensive knowledge and advanced research skills in medicine to play key
interdisciplinary and international roles, as well as advanced medical professionals who can lead development and application
of cutting-edge medical technologies by responding to the demands of the times.
Program of Dental Sciences

We develop individuals who can integrate and advance research in dental medicine, perform higher-level fundamental
dental research, and leverage it for applied research to explore advanced dental medicine, while widely adopting them both in
the local community and the international arena.
Program of Pharmaceutical Sciences

We develop individuals with profound knowledge and considerable insight on pharmaceutical science who can contribute to
the evolution of clinical pharmacy and pharmacotherapy in Japan through education and research in pharmaceutical science,
and play a key role in the international arena of pharmaceutical research mainly for advancing medical care.
Program of Radiation Biology and Medicine

By offering not only basic research on effects of radiation on the human body but also advanced and systematic education
and research of clinical radiology, we develop individuals who can widely adopt them both in the local community and the
international arena.

We offer education and research to create a hub of oral health science, lead education and research in oral health science, and
develop individuals who can play an active role in the international area. And we also nurture educators and researchers in
universities, colleges, and companies who can help establish the academic field of oral health science to promote systemic health
from oral care, for the purpose of maintaining and improving the health of people.

We develop individuals with extensive knowledge and considerable insight on medicinal science who contribute to the
evolution of medicinal sciences and life science in Japan through education and research in medicinal science, and conduct
applied research based on medicinal sciences and life science from an international perspective.
