I am in charge of the work related to global health, both domestic and international human resource development. I have worked as a nurse in the Hight Care Unit and the New Infectious Disease Unit at NCGM Center Hospital, and later as a clinical assistant professor in basic nursing and gerontological nursing at the National College of Nursing. I hope to contribute to the realization of a society where everyone can live a healthy and joyful life by helping those who aspire to global health to gain more experience.
