Outline of Research at the Start

将来の医学者・医師に ESP (専門に特化した英語) 教育を行い、国際学会で発表でき、英語で診療できる医学者・医師の数を増やすことにつなげる。そのため下記1.2.3を行う。
1.国際学会発表・英語診療のための教材・教育プログラム開発　① 国際学会ビデオ e ラーニング教材開発　② 医療英会話 e ラーニング教材開発　③国際学会模擬練習・外国人患者模擬診療練習教育プログラム開発
2. 教材・教育プログラム実施と評価　①教材・教育プログラム医学生・研修医使用　　②教材・教育プログラム評価・改善　③教材・教育プログラム使用前・後習熟度測定
3. 成果公開 ①国内外学会発表　②国内外大学医学科・医療施設教材への教育プログラム提供

Outline of Final Research Achievements

We developed four groups of teaching materials and methods. They were: 1) Medical lectures in English on You Tube; 2) International conference presentations; 3) USMLE examinations; and 4) Online English conversation. Furthermore, we let medical students (Osaka University and Kobe University) and doctors (Kobe City Medical Center Central Municipal Hospital) use them. Those using groups 1 to 3 said these were "meaningful" but also felt that they lacked the ability to communicate. So we let them use an on-line conversation platform. Those using Study group 4 showed that speaking English for 25 minutes every day started to be effective in about 2 months. It was proven to be fully effective in 4 months.
We believe that if many medical departments in Japan implement this program, it is certain to increase the number of medical doctors and scientists who can be active on the global stage.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

新型コロナウィルス感染収束後には訪日外国人客の激増が予測され、また在留外国人は2,928,940人(2020年12月) 存在する。しかし外国人患者対応の医学英語教育は不充分である。さらに医学研究において日本は臨床研究では後進国であるといわれており医学生に国際学会発表・英語論文執筆などの指導は充分行われていない。このような状況のなか、英語で診療できる医師・英語を使って研究発表ができる医学者を育てることは喫緊の課題である。本研究で様々な教材・教育法を開発し、医学生・医師にとって大変有意義である事が証明でき大きな成果を得た。グローバルに活躍できる医師・医学者育成に貢献できることは間違いない。
