We implemented a short-term training program for Mahidol University students atFukuoka Campus

From May 8th (Fri) to May 22nd (Fri), 2026, Teikyo University Fukuoka Campus hosted a short-term training program for four students from Faculty of Medical Technology Technology, Mahidol University (Thailand), with the aim of acquiring specialized knowledge and fostering student exchange.

This training program included not only lectures and practical training sessions on campus, but also visits to external facilities and cultural experiences.
During the practical training for Emergency Medical Technician Course, which is outside their area of expertise, they experienced basic life-saving procedures and commented that they found the content, which was something they had never experienced before, "very interesting."
During the facility tours, the students visited Kurume University Hospital, the Kyushu Synchrotron Radiation Research Center in Saga Prefecture, the Kyushu International Heavy Ion Cancer Treatment Center, and Yokokura Hospital, providing a valuable opportunity to experience the latest medical and research technologies in Japan. As expected of students in the Department of Radiological Technology, some expressed excitement, and it was clear that their expectations for learning had grown even higher.
For the cultural experience, we invited a tea ceremony instructor from Omuta City and enjoyed activities such as a tea ceremony experience and trying on kimonos.

Students from the university said that participating in this program allowed them to "acquire new knowledge that they had never learned in Thailand." When asked what impressed them the most during these two weeks, they smiled and replied, "Everything was great, but the best thing was making friends." In addition to their specialized learning, the interactions they had with students from our university during their time together proved to be a great asset for the students.

At the farewell party on the final day, the four students gave a report on their training in front of the university students, and during the subsequent conversation, they talked about each other's countries' cultures and their future dreams, creating a warm and pleasant atmosphere. Finally, when the four received a message board handmade by the students, they were so moved that they teared up and repeatedly said, "Thank you so much." Their reluctance to part showed that a deep bond had been formed despite the short time they had spent together.

The friendships and learning gained during this training will be a great source of support for the future growth of both sets of students, broadening the perspectives of those who will be responsible for the future of medicine and leading to richer collaboration.
At Fukuoka Campus, we will continue to develop an international educational environment to cultivate globally-minded individuals.
