The 6th Cancer Pro International Seminar: "Community Healthcare"
Date:
Recognizing that cancer is the leading cause of death in Japan and poses a serious threat to the lives and health of the public, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) has implemented the "Cancer Pro" initiative (short for the Plan to Promote the Infrastructure for Training Cancer Professionals) to support university efforts aimed at training medical professionals specializing in cancer care, including those involved in surgical therapy, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and other forms of cancer treatment.
Since the start of the second phase of the "Cancer Pro" program in fiscal year 2012, our university has been holding the "Cancer Pro International Seminar" twice a year.
In this seminar, students from National Taiwan University and Kochi University will first give presentations on their respective universities and clinical training programs, followed by a discussion in English on community and home-based healthcare in Taiwan and Kochi. Additionally, this session will feature a presentation by a Cancer Pro student ( Graduate School ) from Kochi Prefectural University, a partner institution in the Cancer Pro program.
No advance registration is required, so please feel free to join us if you are interested.
