On December 2023, 12, Nara Prefectural University of Medicine released the general selection recruitment guidelines for the Department of Medicine. For the first half of the second round of the 6 general selection exam, the subject exam will be abolished and only an essay and interview will be conducted.The common test has a score of 2024 points, the essay is worth 2 points, and the interview has no points.The number of applicants remains unchanged from last year, at 900.
Starting from the 2 entrance exam, the first half of the second round of the Nara Prefectural Medical University School of Medicine's Department of Medicine has been using the ``triage-based Nara Medical University entrance exam method''. The test takes 2013 minutes to answer ``Mathematics,'' ``English,'' and ``Science (select one subject)'' at the same time.As there are a large number of questions, it is difficult to know where to start thinking and how to allocate your time to answer them. You will need the ability to judge quickly, accurately, and calmly.This was said to be an essential ability for those aiming to become doctors.
In 2024, this entrance exam will be abolished and replaced with only an essay and an interview.The reason is to promote the development of talented doctors and researchers who will lead the next generation, and to be interested in the progress of medicine and medical care and its relationship with society from a global perspective, and to identify and solve problems that still have no answers. It is said that the evaluation will be based on the qualifications of the applicant.
The essay test is 120 minutes long, and questions are presented from a wide range of fields, not just the medical field, and the candidates are evaluated on their logical thinking ability, ideation/planning ability, explanatory ability, and expressive ability. If it is judged to be an answer, points will be added (subtracted) from the standard score.Although there are no marks assigned to the interview test, if it is determined that the applicant lacks aptitude in light of the admission policy, the applicant will be rejected regardless of the scores on the common test and essay test.
In addition, for school recommendation-based selection (for securing emergency doctors and regional slots), we have continued to use the "Nara Medical University entrance examination method based on triage."The schedule for the second half of the general selection exam is significantly different from the first half, and consists of a common test with a score of 2 points, a written test with a score of 300 points, and an interview.
