Yamagata Prefectural University of Health Sciences (YPUHS) was initially founded in 1954 as Yamagata Prefectural Advanced Nursing School. In April 1997, the nursing school was reorganized to a 3-years system college for health professions, including registered nurses, public health nurses, midwives, physical therapists, and occupational therapists. The college was then expanded as a university of 4-years system consisting of the Department of Nursing, the Department of Physical Therapy, and the Department of Occupational Therapy in April 2000. A Graduate School of Health Sciences was also established in 2004.

We will provide broad-based education, whole-hearted humanity, a high degree of expertise, and technical skill.

We will return the results of our educational and clinical researches to the local region, as well as future foster leaders in the field of nursing, physical and occupational therapists who can participate and contribute to the health and welfare of the people of Yamagata, Japan, and the world.

The educational program is designed to educate students with the professional knowledge and skills that will enable them to play a crucial part in the medical and social welfare systems. Based on the philosophy of education, we uphold the following six educational aims.

  • To foster our students' moral understanding based on the dignity of life and society, and teach them to think and act flexibly, with comprehensive humanity.
  • To foster the ability to morally act on the people by teaching professional knowledge and skills.
  • To foster the ability to understand the role of professional health workers and respond with medical care through cooperation and collaboration with other specialists in health, medicine, and welfare.
  • To foster the ability to develop health science through self-development and a willingness to do challenge unknown subjects.
  • To foster the ability to understand our world's diversity, communicate with other cultures, and act with an internationalized field of vision.
  • To foster the ability to understand local culture and develop the local region's standard of health and medical care practices.

YPUHS aspires to foster diversification and sophistication to deal with complicated and advanced nursing care and rehabilitation, teaching a high level of knowledge and skill to offer the appropriate support towards safe and reliable care services and nurturing rich creativity real problem-solving qualities. Considerations have also been made to improve learning from others by having students of each field learn together to work together in the future, which is essential in today's interprofessional collaboration. We will be able to cultivate those basics to help students in one field understand the roles, health, and medical care issues in other fields to enhance cooperation in the real world of welfare.

YPUHS is also concerned, as one of our educational objectives, to encourage students to perform on the international stage with a proper international perspective. Indeed, YPUHS has achieved academic and educational cooperation with both the University of Colorado (Nursing and Physical Therapy) and the Colorado State University (Occupational Therapy) in Colorado, the U.S.A, for over ten years.

A beautiful grass lawn covers the park through which the clear waters of the Takase River flow that the salmon swim up to lay eggs in autumn. The university, built-in European style, lies to one side, while the Yamagata Prefectural Central Hospital, providing the majority of our practical training, borders the other side of this park.
