Abstract

Medical education in Germany has undergone significant reforms since the new law, “Regulation of the Licensing of Doctors,” was introduced in 2003. The major point of the reforms is the shift from theoretical education to practical clinical training. The national licensure examination consists of 2 parts: an examination for knowledge of basic medicine in the second year of medical school, and an examination for clinical knowledge and skills after clinical clerkships. These reforms should provide useful information for the reform of medical education in Japan.
