Ibaraki Prefectural University of Health Sciences

[EduCativ]

Modern-day medical settings witness a wide variety of health professionals working together as teams. These situations are often described using terms such as inter-professional collaboration, inter-professional cooperation, and team-based medicine. But a common requirement of all professionals in such settings is advanced skills, and such skills and professional knowledge are learned by students in the Nursing, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Radiological Science departments of our School of Health Sciences. A thorough grounding in science is also a prerequisite to building this professionalism, combined with understanding and communicating with professionals of other disciplines in the medical workplace. Besides, a great sense of humanity is called to understand the ill and infirm. The Center for Humanities and Sciences and Center for Medical Sciences provide the foundations that support the acquisition of a broad understanding of liberal arts and science that underpins medicine. Practical education is also vital, and the University Hospital supports this from an early stage in the undergraduate curriculum.
After graduation, as they build their medical settings experience, various questions will arise for these health professionals. They will have a mind to resolve those questions through research and applying the latest knowledge.
More than 3,000 students have graduated from the School of Health Sciences, the Graduate School of Health Sciences, and the Graduate Program in Midwifery. They are active as health professionals in Ibaraki and throughout Japan. In this low birth rate, rapidly aging society, well-qualified medical practitioners' role with leadership skills becomes increasingly important. As your first step to a purposeful and fulfilling career, we invite you to follow in their footsteps and pursue your studies at Ibaraki Prefectural University of Health Sciences.
