Abstract
The Japanese government defined integrative/integrated medicine (IM) as “medical practice led by physicians, cooperating with other specialists.” Therefore, the basics of comprehensive medical education should be provided in medical universities. We investigated the situation of IM with special reference to Kampo medicines in the national core curricula, national examination standards and the syllabuses for lectures published on the universities' websites.
