| Research Abstract |
There are some issues concerning the domains of" attitude" and" habit" which are indispensable for medical students, such as motivation for problem-based learning and acquiring skills for smooth communication with medical staff and patients. Kochi Medical School has introduced an admissions-office(attitude-evaluation) system for enrollment selection to assess the abilities that applicants have acquired through experiences since birth. A follow-up survey after admission suggests that this type of entrance examination system based on attitude evaluation is effective.
