Training for Japanese

Basic course of international health

For those Japanese who aim to be involved in the international health cooperation, this series of 10 sessions (each lasts 3 hours) conducted from May to March in each fiscal year provides a learning opportunity for them to deepen understanding of the international/global health.

Along the theme of each session, the staff of the Bureau of International Health Cooperation lectures basic knowledge and skills drawing on their field experiences. Participatory learning through workshops and discussions is applied in each session. Participants can choose to attend the whole series or just one session according to their needs.

Many of the previous participants commented that they could deepen understanding of international health in easy-to-understand manner, and that they could learn joyfully through group works.

Training on international health cooperation

To develop Japanese human resources who bear international health cooperation, we conduct the training on international health cooperation.

The course is comprised of three parts: (1) lectures by experts, (2) project planning workshop and (3) field study in a developing country. The lectures part provides basic knowledge on international health and the project planning workshop and the field study foster practical skills of project planning.

International clinical fellow program

For young medical doctors who have finished the latter phase of clinical training, we offer a year-long fellow program in which the participants belong to the Bureau of International Health Cooperation.

Under the auspices of the experts in the Bureau, the fellows analyze technical cooperation projects, plan activities and be involved in overseas activities for half a year. The program provides an opportunity for young clinicians to consider future carrier path potentially in international health after reviewing the role of health and medicine in the international perspective.

Overseas training of nurses

We conduct an overseas training of nurses working in two general hospitals of the NCGM: Center Hospital and Konodai Hospital.

The training aims that the nurses acquire basic knowledge on international health cooperation and become able to extend nursing activities with international view point.
