[EduCativ]

In 2007 at Port Island in Kobe, Hyogo University of Health Sciences (HUHS) has started its activity with three faculties simultaneously, School of Pharmacy, School of Nursing, and School of Rehabilitation as a member of Hyogo College of Medicine Group, which has over 40 years of history as medical college and teaching hospitals at Nishinomiya, Hyogo Prefecture.

Our mission is to bring up health-care professionals who can serve the patients and society with reliable and warmhearted medical and related care and contribute to the interdisciplinary medical care supported by a high level of knowledge and skills.

Under the borderless and collaborative educational circumstances among three faculties joined with General Education Center, the education's main objective is towards team-based medical care.

Educational Objectives：

• General education to grow a wide-ranged culture and warm-hearted personal character.
• Professional education to acquire high-standard knowledge and skills under the borderless circumstances among the faculties and Hyogo College of Medicine and its affiliated hospitals.
• Comprehensive education for team-based medical management and regional health care supported by excellent communication ability.
• Cultivate the mind for originality and internationality to serve the next generation of health sciences.

HUHS is a comprehensive university in a network of Hyogo College of Medicine Group. HUHS consisting of three School of Pharmacy (Department of Medical Pharmacy), School of Nursing (Department of Nursing) and School of Rehabilitation (Departments of Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy) and four departments in a campus collaborates with the School of Medicine of HCM, The Hospital of Hyogo College of Medicine, Hyogo College of Medicine Sasayama Hospital, etc. to provide special a team-based medical care education.

The human nature for understanding a patient and the culture as a member of society are necessary for medical staff to offer hearty medical care. "General Education Center" supports learning the various arts such as natural science, the humanities, languages, and basic science subjects. Besides, the "General Education Center" plays a vital role in fixing our characteristic "borderless education system" such as a team medical subject and a joint practice (Early Clinical Exposure) for the students in four departments.

Understanding of other specialties and communication ability are essential for team medical care. Focusing on this point, HUHS actively adopts a cross-sectional joint education program. Interdisciplinary classes conducted step by step from the early period of the first year through the fourth year give students a deeper understanding of other specialties and consciousness and responsibility as medical workers.
