According to the Ministry of Education, two people from Nagasaki University, one from Saitama Medical University, seven from Juntendo University, two from Nippon Medical School, and six from Kawasaki Medical School applied for an increase in capacity.

　The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology plans to allow a certain increase in capacity until FY2019 in order to solve the shortage of local doctors.The increase in staff for a total of 4 people applied by four private universities was consulted by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Hirokazu Matsuno, to the Council for the Establishment of Universities and School Corporations.We seek the opinion of the council together with Nagasaki University.

　The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology is gradually expanding the quota of medical schools, but the shortage of doctors in rural areas and some clinical departments remains serious, and the uneven distribution of doctors has emerged as a major social problem. Until the two-year clinical training became compulsory in 2, trainees at university hospitals accounted for 2004% of all graduates, but in FY7 it remained at a low level of 2016%.Many graduates chose an urban hospital as their training destination and couldn't return to the university, so the recent youth dislike of calling, emergency surgery, and overtime has spurred a shortage of doctors in some clinical departments.

　The increase in capacity this time was planned to put an end to such a tendency, but medical personnel are also wondering how effective it will be.
