Greetings from the President

The Juntendo Medical Society has implemented various activities, together with Juntendo Medical Journal established in 1875, to “promote medical research, encourage members of the society to learn from each other and improve their knowledge, and contribute to the advancement of medicine”. There are approximately 2,700 members including academic staff, alumni, clinical residents, graduate students, research students of the Juntendo University Faculty/Graduate School of Medicine, people of other Faculty/Graduate School, and people outside the university.
Its principal activities include publication of the “Juntendo Medical Journal”, organization of Triannual Meetings of the Juntendo Medical Society, and management of Juntendo University’s open lectures: Health Topics for Tokyoites. Juntendo Medical Journal, a medical journal published six times a year, receives a number of scientific papers submitted by Japanese and foreign researchers. In the triannual meetings, professors and young researchers of the Faculty of Medicine present their research findings. Health Topics for Tokyoites are held biannually in which notable professors and researchers introduce recent information on medicine and health care to the public.
   
 The year 2025 has marked the 187^th anniversary of Juntendo University, a university and graduate school for general health, consisting of nine faculties, six graduate school courses, and six affiliated hospitals. The university has advanced markedly and contributed to the society through the implementation of education, research, and consultation.
Along with the progress of the university, the Juntendo Medical Society has been involved in medical research and social activities. Juntendo Medical Journal, the oldest medical journal in Japan, is now published for readers across the world, and in 2024 has been selected for inclusion in PMC, an archive of biomedical and life science journal litereature at the U.S. NIH/NLM. We will continue to contribute to the progress of medicine and medical care for human health while respecting the tradition of Juntendo.
