Respect for the dignity of life is the foundation of all medical education. Basing this dignity on the Christian love of humanity is the key to medical practice at the St. Marianna University School of Medicine.
 Ever since its founding as Toyo Medical College in 1971, St. Marianna University School of Medicine has been building an ideal environment for medical education through the addition of hospitals, a Nursing Junior College, and a Graduate School. The essence of this education is the training of physicians who place importance on the dignity of life, their sense of mission to help individuals in need, and a commitment to improve the welfare of humanity.
 In the 21st Century, as our communications expand throughout the world, human morality becomes increasingly important and medical ethics is no exception. Although hi-tech medicine utilizes the most advanced science and technology, the real challenge of our modern era is to cultivate our humanness, to become full of compassion for humanity and all living beings.
 In other words, the physician of the future must have the "heart of medicine," based upon a love of humanity. We think the "heart of medicine" is fundamentally an attitude to serve the happiness of mankind based on a keen awareness of medical ethics. This sense of mission is the spiritual backbone of our medical students.
 Every physician's spiritual backbone is the dignity of life and respect for living beings. At St. Marianna University School of Medicine, we practice a complete medical education based on the "heart of medicine."
