Since one of our educational aims and targets is to foster our students’ ability to contribute to the globalization of medical and health care,
a unique curriculum has been planned since our college was initiated.
We have invited professors from foreign countries and conduct short-term courses in English every year.
We are confident that our students can gain considerable knowledge from this program.
The program is intended to stimulate not only the students but also the faculty members through the significant opportunity to attend lectures
by international professionals who explore innovations in rehabilitation science.
