Specialization
Advanced training for medical professionals and educational researchers
The Graduate School of Medical Care and Technology offers five areas of specialization: orthoptics, nursing, clinical radiology, clinical laboratory medicine and, judo Therapy. Each of these courses is designed to build upon existing skills and knowledge in teaching the art of guidance and educating others, while cultivating problem-solving and research skills.
Division of Orthoptics
The orthoptics course is the only such course offered at an independent graduate school in Japan. Orthoptics is the diagnosis and treatment of conditions such as squint and weak eyesight using advanced testing and examination techniques. In addition to studying the technology, students learn leadership and education skills for operating as independent researchers and educators and working in a team environment.
Division of Nursing
The nursing course teaches a wide range of theory, practical skills and research techniques to suit different needs and expectations. Students use their hospital experience to identify a specific issue and write a thesis as a means of utilizing research in their work, while also developing logical and systematic analytical skills.
Division of Clinical Radiology
Clinical Radiology covers advanced theoretical and technical skills in radiology treatment, a field that has seen considerable technical advances in recent years. Experienced instructors working at affiliated facilities provide technical guidance and research assistance. Students develop skills with existing technology as well as the capacity to design new technology.
Division of Clinical Laboratory Medicine
Clinical Laboratory Medicine provides training and guidance in specialized fields and meeting the expectations of society, at a time when not just doctors only are in a position to provide training in testing techniques or carry out developmental research. Clinical laboratory examination is an important component of health care delivery. Students will develop the ability to maintain and promote the technology.
Division of Medical Care and Technology
The Division of Emergency Care aims to provide a rich and varied education on disaster and accident rescue and medical aid operations that is applicable in locations ranging from rescue locations to medical institutions, while equipping students with outstanding academic leadership and research skills. Additionally, the Division strives to foster the abilities needed to propose scientifically-rooted improvement measures to government bodies and other such organizations based on scientific analysis and theoretical thinking; to cultivate management skills enabling the execution of high-quality rescue and medical aid measures and management of crises; and to equip students with communication abilities facilitating effective and smooth collaborations with relevant fields and institutions. The Division offers an extended-length, three-year planned curricula—longer than the standard two-year program completion limit—so that working members of society who wish to continue their careers while completing their education can do so.
Division of Judo Therapy
Judo Therapy augments the technique of judo with academic research and scientific validation to develop a broader understanding of the therapeutic benefits of the sport. The course needs qualification as a licensed judo therapist to enroll, and features hands-on training in medical facilities together with an instructor. Judo therapists are in demand in Japan and around the world.
