The Journal of Nippon Medical School (JNMS) is the official journal of the Medical Association of Nippon Medical School. Dedicated to advancing human health and welfare globally, JNMS serves as an international platform for clinicians and researchers across a wide range of medical and biological science disciplines to exchange biomedical insights, disseminate novel scientific achievements, and drive evidence-based medical discussion.

The journal welcomes submissions that offer fresh insights into any aspect of the biomedical and health sciences, provided they have not been published or are not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Submissions may be in the form of original articles, review articles, case reports, or letters to the editor.
