| Human Resources to be Trained | To train personnel who can establish team medicine that collaborates with multiple professions and with community facilities in order to seamlessly treat cancer patients who receive full medical care in their residential areas from diagnosis to treatment and end-of-life care. To achieve this objective, lectures will be given by practitioners who are engaged in community medicine, home palliative care, and team medicine. In addition, the course aims to nurture leaders of team medicine through case study sessions with actual patients and hands-on experience of home palliative care using digital tools in exercises. | ||||||
| Cooperation with Professional Qualifications Related to Cancer | Accredited as a training facility for cancer pharmacotherapy specialists (Japanese Society of Clinical Oncology). | ||||||
| Characteristics of Educational Content | Conventional cancer treatment has focused on the development of highly advanced medical treatments. However, the majority of patients are actually elderly, and it is important to develop treatment strategies that extend to the end of life. Therefore, this course aims to develop human resources who can tackle multifaceted problems faced in actual clinical practice while learning highly advanced medical care. For this reason, the practical aspect of the course, which has been absent in graduate school education up to now, will be strengthened through participation in conferences based on actual community medicine and exercises in home care. | ||||||
| Guidance System | Because Toyama Prefecture is a regional city, even university hospitals have stronger ties to the local community than those in large metropolitan areas. By utilizing these ties with the local community, the environment is such that total care, from diagnosis and treatment to end-of-life care, can be provided seamlessly. University faculty members who are actually involved in such activities can provide guidance to students, enabling them to experience the field firsthand. | ||||||
| Career Path of Graduates | Graduates will be highly competent clinical oncologists upon graduation from graduate school. Those who are affiliated with academic societies are expected to obtain the medical specialist certification awarded by the respective societies. Furthermore, the skills in team medicine acquired in this course are expected to be employed at facilities in Toyama Prefecture, as they will be maximally utilized in returning medical care to the local residents of Toyama Prefecture. | ||||||
