Training highly specialized professionals able to respond to the changes seen in medical care
With the progress of science and technology, medical care has become more sophisticated and advanced, and advanced medical technology has been introduced for many diseases, with the cure rate of diseases and quality of life also seeing improvements. Meanwhile, with Japan seeing a declining birthrate and aging population, the medical structure is undergoing reform. Thus, the scope of medical care is expanding to preventive and health promotion in addition to the diagnosis and treatment of conventional diseases. In order to respond to such changes in medical care, we have established the Division of Radiological Sciences and the Division of Nursing at the Graduate School of Health Sciences of the Fukuoka Campus. In the Division of Radiological Sciences, we aim to have students become highly specialized professionals armed with the flexibility to handle advanced and diversified technologies and armed with highly specialized knowledge and abilities that can be put into practice by those individuals. We are also aiming to train educators and researchers armed with superior research and development abilities along with a rich sense of creativity. At the Division of Nursing of Nursing, we aim to have students acquire backgrounds as researchers able to scientifically analyze phenomena related to nursing science and become highly specialized professionals able to contribute to the building of comprehensive care systems as a key persons serving to connect health, medical care, and welfare through multidisciplinary collaboration.
Our goal at the Graduate School of Health Sciences is to train people with the potential to become educators and researchers armed with rich senses of creativity and exceptional research and development capabilities both in the context of the local community and the greater context of our global society, as well as to train well-rounded, highly specialized professionals armed with specialized knowledge and practical skills, who are able to handle advanced medical care.
As medical science advances rapidly, not only is the content of medical care undergoing significant change, but the healthcare delivery system and the healthcare environment are also undergoing major transformations. Modern healthcare is centered on Team Medical Care involving multiple highly specialized medical professionals. While each team member is required to possess advanced knowledge and practical skills, they also need to go a step further and develop practical problem-solving skills that can adapt to medical advances and changes. In other words, clinical practice requires individuals who strive to improve their management skills in addition to a broader range of knowledge and skills beyond those acquired through undergraduate education. Graduate School of Health Sciences at Fukuoka Campus aims to cultivate talented individuals who, through research in their major, remain current and strive to further their knowledge and improve their practical skills, as well as educators and researchers. We welcome those who wish to acquire advanced specialized knowledge and practical skills, those who wish to develop abstract and hypothetical thinking skills, and those who aspire to become educators or researchers in the future.
