Tohoku Medical and Pharmaceutical University School of Medicine (capacity 100) and International University of Health and Welfare School of Medicine (140) have been approved, and apart from this, temporary capacity such as regional quotas of 979 and permanent capacity of 530 are being increased. ..

　In 2022, we expanded the regional quota to 20, which is 908 more than the previous year, 27 in the research doctor quota for training research doctors, and an increase in staff when a university with a dentistry department reduces the capacity of the dentistry department.
