Graduate students in the mid-term (second year) of the doctoral course will deliver presentations on their research plans, results, and progress, and reviewers from various fields will provide specific and constructive advice to improve the quality of research in relation to the presentations.<br \/>\r\nThe plan is designed to provide cross-sectional advice on research for graduate students in collaboration with other related research fields while complying with research policies adopted in their specialties, with the aim of helping them improve the quality of their papers. Interim review is set to solely provide students a guidance and advice so the review itself will not affect the final evaluation and degree application.<\/p>\r\n<h4>\u2160\uff0eProcedures for the implementation<\/h4>\r\n<p>Please read <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medphas.kumamoto-u.ac.jp\/medgrad\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/Procedures-for-the-implementation-of-the-interim-review_E.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u3010Procedures for the implementation of the interim review (PDF)\u3011<\/a><\/strong> carefully before proceeding with the application procedure.<\/p>\r\n<h4>\u2161\uff0eImplementation period<\/h4>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Students enrolled in April\uff1a<br \/>\r\n\u3000\u3000\u3000Doctoral Program Once in March of the second year or August of the third year<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Students enrolled in October\uff1a<br \/>\r\n\u3000\u3000\u3000Doctoral Program Once in August of the second year or March of the third year<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>The date and venue will be decided by the Student Affairs office after confirming in advance the circumstances of the reviewers.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><strong>\u203bPlease review the flowchart for a detailed schedule.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medphas.kumamoto-u.ac.jp\/medgrad\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/R8_Schedule_E.pdf\">Schedule for AY2026<\/a><\/li>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medphas.kumamoto-u.ac.jp\/medgrad\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/R8_Flowchart_E.pdf\">Flowchart<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h4>\u2162\uff0eApplication procedure for review:<\/h4>\r\n<p>Submit an application for the interim review including research subjects of the graduate students and progress of their research to the Student Affairs Office.<br \/>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.medphas.kumamoto-u.ac.jp\/medgrad\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/421c9e0ed52ef84625b806398281b9c3.docx\"><strong>\u3010Application\uff08Word)\u3011<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\r\n<p>\uff0aSend your name and research title with the sending title \u201cApplication for interim review : XXXX (name of applicant)\u201d via e-mail to the following address.<br \/>\r\nE-mail : iyg-igaku-3*jimu.kumamoto-u.ac.jp (Please change * to @)<\/p>\r\n<p>\uff0aAs the application form requires an official seal and signature, please submit the original document.
