Many medical students are interested in basic medical researches. However, to make a decision to get into the research position throughout the life is not easy. In Kurume University, although shortage of clinicians, partly due to the atmosphere that senior doctors consider experiences of basic research is favorable as well as a re-evaluation of PhD degree, staffs and PhD students with MD or DDS are not very rare in the departments of basic medical sciences including the anatomy department. Some, not many though, MDs once lead clinical experience return to basic research in order to solve problems they encountered at clinical scenes or for enthusiasms for spirit of further inquiry for life sciences. Those might be lead by the push of senior doctors or through "admission course for medical sciences" and "laboratory experience training" in the initial curriculum of the medical course. Open spaces where students and researchers can enjoy free scientific talking are hopefully expected to facilitate establishing students' incentive to participate in basic studies.
许多医科学生对基础医学研究感兴趣。然而，决定投身于终身研究工作并非易事。在久留米大学，尽管临床医生短缺，部分原因是资深医生认为基础研究经验有益，以及对博士学位的重新评估，但在包括解剖学系在内的基础医学系，拥有医学博士（MD）或牙医学博士（DDS）学位的教职员工和博士生并不罕见。一些人，虽然数量不多，但曾经有过临床经验的医学博士为了解决他们在临床场景中遇到的问题，或者出于对生命科学进一步探索精神的热情，转而从事基础研究。他们可能是在资深医生的推动下，或者通过医学课程初始阶段的“医学科学入学课程”和“实验室经验培训”而转向基础研究的。有望出现学生和研究人员能够自由进行科学交流的开放空间，以促进激发学生参与基础研究的积极性。
