The ACLS Study Group won the overall championship at the 11th National Medical Student BLS Championships,Itabashi Campus

On Sunday, September 14, 2025, the Teikyo University ACLS Study Group won the overall championship at the 11th National Medical Student BLS Championship, held at the Memorial Hall on the Shinjuku Campus of Tokyo Medical University. The National Medical Student BLS Championship aims to improve the knowledge and skills of medical students nationwide in basic life support (BLS), including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Participants compete in two-person CPR BLS (chest compressions + artificial respiration using a BVM, use of an AED). This year, students from 50 universities across the country gathered to compete.

The tournament featured two events: an inter-university competition and a mixed team competition, with six students from our university competing, three in each category. Three third-year School of Medicine students participated in the inter-university competition, achieving the impressive result of first place, beating the second-place finisher by a large margin. In the mixed team competition, one third-year student from the Faculty of Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences who was competing for the first time, and one first-year student from both School of Medicine and Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences each performed CPR in collaboration with students from different universities, one of whom came in fifth place. In the overall division, which combined the two events, we achieved an impressive victory.

The students began practicing in earnest for the competition after the summer vacation, and spent their days practicing CPR at the university's Simulation Education and Research Center. The results of this practice not only improved the students' skills, but also their efforts to pursue ever-higher levels of CPR, working as a team with the same goal in mind, contributed greatly to this result.

Going forward, our university will continue to contribute to society through practical medical education, including simulation education, in order to cultivate "good medical professionals" while each student hones their own expertise.
