The National Council of Medical Directors and Hospital Directors has put together and published a norm that requires that pass / fail judgments not be disadvantageous due to gender, etc., due to the problem of treating girls and students with many years of ronin at a disadvantage in some university entrance examinations.If there are any fraudulent or inappropriate cases, each university is strongly urged to take voluntary action with strict content including expulsion.

 The Secretariat of the National Medical School is a general incorporated association in which national, public and private universities with medical schools and affiliated hospitals participate.According to the norms, he strongly criticized the inappropriate pass / fail judgment of the medical school entrance examination, which was revealed at Tokyo Medical University, as "a socially unacceptable act."

 In particular, discrimination in pass / fail judgments against girls and students with many years of ronin is unacceptable, and if fraudulent or inappropriate acts are found, they will be subject to disposition including expulsion from the meeting.The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has taken the position that "it is highly likely that it is inappropriate to provide different treatment depending on gender," and it can be said that the content is stricter than the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.

 The establishment of internal admission slots and alumni slots requires the support of each university's educational philosophy and admission policy (admission policy) based on it, giving equal opportunities to examinees who meet the requirements and seeing from the outside. I asked for a fair selection method.

 However, the Secretariat of the National Medical School does not have the right to investigate, and it is up to each university to decide whether or not to respond in accordance with the norms.For this reason, there are some doubts about the effectiveness of the norm, and the intention to avoid criticism of the university medical school and the attached hospital as a whole can be seen.
