 The Graduate School of Medicine was established in 1956 with the aim of fostering the profound academic knowledge and research capabilities necessary for students to pursue independent activities as researchers or to engage in other advanced professional tasks. Since the school's establishment, doctoral degrees have been conferred to 912 students completing doctor's courses (as of the end of March 2007) and 1,529 doctors who attained equivalent accomplishments through thesis credits (as of the end of March 2007). These graduates currently play active roles in a variety of fields.

In April 2001, the fields of specialization were broadened in order to cope with advances in medical science and medical practice. The initial setup included five specialties (physiology, pathology, social medicine, internal medicine and surgery) and 39 subjects with an enrollment capacity of 31 students. This was changed to three specialties consisting of comprehensive research areas in which basic and advanced research results are used in clinical disciplines (community health and comprehensive medicine, molecular and organ regulation, and signal transduction medicine). These three specialties are further subdivided into 11 sub-specialties (49 subjects) with an enrollment capacity of 50 students.

In April 2008, the Medical Science Course (Master's Course) will be opened. The new Doctoral Courses that will be established include, five clinical oncology courses along with the Clinical Research Course and Medical Science Course.

In 2006, the Certified Nursing Specialist Course was established.
The purpose of the Doctoral Courses of the Graduate School is to foster research capabilities necessary for the students to conduct independent research activities in their major fields or engage in other highly professional tasks, and to acquire knowledge that forms the basis of such capabilities.
