Nursing - Master's Program

The Master's programme of the Graduate School of Nursing at Nippon Medical School is organised around three areas: a common area, a nursing research area for the research course, and an advanced practice midwifery area for the midwifery course. The common area has shared subjects open to students on both courses, plus nursing research subjects. Shared subjects aim to develop scientific and logical thinking for nurses facing increasingly complex healthcare and for researchers seeking evidence. Topics include research methodology, medical and nursing ethics, holistic nursing, nursing education and physical assessment, including assessment in critical care and emergency situations. Students then follow the course that matches their goals, either developing research ability in nursing science or training in advanced midwifery practice. The curriculum is designed to support nursing professionals who want to raise the quality of care, teach, or conduct research.
