ABSTRACT

This is a report of the activities of the committee on medical student selection 1994-1996, particularly focused on the 15th Conference on Medical-Student Admission held 1996/8/31 with the subjects of social needs and influences upon high school education for the purpose of improving student selection system in Japan. We must consider how largely admission tests have being influenced high school students at the time of decision making, what medical schools they submit their applications to, and what ability the society or community requires physicians, for creating better system of evaluation for admission in Japan.
