It is a private institution. It was founded in 1900 (Meiji 33) by Yayoi Yoshioka, the 27th female doctor in Japan, and her husband Arata Yoshioka, with four students to help women who wanted to take the medical license exam. It was renamed Tokyo Women's Medical School in 1912 (Meiji 45), and became Tokyo Women's Medical College in 1947 (Showa 22) under the University Act. It transitioned to a new university system in 1952. As of 2010 (Heisei 22), it consists of the Faculty of Medicine, Department of Medicine, Faculty of Nursing, Department of Nursing, and graduate schools of Medicine and Nursing. The motivation of the founder, Yoshioka, was "to improve the social status of women, which was extremely low at the time," and it is proud of its tradition as the only women's medical school not only in Japan but in the world. It is located at 8-1 Kawada-cho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo. [Kitamura Kazuyuki] "Shizu Sakai (ed.)

私立。1900年(明治33)、日本で27番目の女医となった吉岡弥生(やよい)が夫の吉岡荒太とともに、医師開業試験を目ざす女性のために生徒4人を集めて開校した東京女医学校を前身とし、1912年(明治45)東京女子医学専門学校を経て、1947年(昭和22)大学令による東京女子医科大学となった。1952年新制大学へ移行。2010年(平成22)時点で、医学部医学科、看護学部看護学科と、医学研究科、看護学研究科の大学院からなる。「当時いかにも低かった婦人の社会的地位を向上せしめようとした」のが創設者吉岡の動機であり、日本のみならず世界で唯一の女子医科大学としての伝統を誇っている。所在地は東京都新宿区河田町8-1。 [喜多村和之] 『酒井シヅ編『東京女子医科大学八十年史』(1980・東京女子医科大学)』 [参照項目] | |吉岡弥生が創設した東京女子医科大学の附属病院。写真の1号館は1930年(昭和5)の建築で、東京女子医学専門学校附属病院当時の建物である。東京都新宿区©Yutaka Sakano"> 東京女子医科大学病院 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
