Egypt is a traditional leader in the Middle East in the field of higher medical education. In recent years, and due to the admission of increasingly large numbers in the governmental universities, Egypt’s leading status was seriously threatened. Some primary and decisive factors in the proper teaching and training of the undergraduates in the medical field are the efficient knowledge deliverance and the close interaction between the student and the teacher. Physical therapy is a vital form of professional patient care that can be applied in most medical disciplines. It is the newest and yet the oldest field of medical practice. It is the newest because it has come to be recognized as an integral part of regular medical care in the past seventy years. However, it is the oldest because physical agents have been used in the treatment of diseases or injuries for thousands of years. The goal of the College of Physical Therapy is to provide the society with therapists who are adequately prepared by a carefully-planned educational program to serve, today and in the future in such capacities, as providers care for patients suffering from temporary or permanent disabilities resulting from musculoskeletal, cardiopulmonary, neurological, gynecological and pediatric disorders.

Freie Universität Berlin was founded in 1948 by professors and students, in response to the persecution faced by students who took a critical eye of the system at Universität Unter den Linden, at that time located in the Soviet sector of the divided city. The idea of founding a free university found widespread support in the international community, including financial support. This outpouring of aid helped pave the way for Freie Universität to become a university with an outstanding international reputation. The principles of freedom and internationality have guided the university's development ever since. Since the university's founding in December of 1948, the academic ethos of Freie Universität Berlin has always been defined by three values: truth, justice, and freedom. The years 1968, 1990, and 2007 mark turning points in the history of Freie Universität. The university was one of Germany's important sites for the student protests of the 1960s, which sparked a trend toward greater openness, equality, and democracy. Then, after German reunification in 1990, Freie Universität Berlin shifted its emphasis, increasing its research activities. The number of graduates, successful doctoral candidates, and publications also grew by a significant measure. The basis for the university's successful new approach was a series of fundamental reforms, including the introduction of modern management structures in the university's administration, reorganization of the departments, and use of funding to support specific aims. In 2007, Freie Universität Berlin was selected in the Excellence Initiative jointly sponsored by the German federal government and the federal states' governments. It was one of nine universities in Germany to receive distinction in all three funding lines, a step that has enabled the university to solidify and further expand its position as an "international network university." In 2012 during the second funding round of the Excellence Initiative, it was selected again and is now one of eleven universities of excellence in Germany. Freie Universität Berlin is a leading research institution. One of the German universities successful in all three funding lines in the federal and state Excellence Initiative, thereby receiving additional funding for its institutional future development strategy. Freie Universität can thus take its place as an international network university in the global competition among universities. Development and assessment of research projects occur within various focus areas, research networks, and platforms for interdisciplinary collaborative research. The Excellence Initiative's performance provided funding for several new graduate schools and transdisciplinary research clusters. In particular, the graduate schools play a vital role in developing internationally competitive research centers of excellence. Freie Universität Berlin is a broad-based university with 15 departments and central institutes offering over 150-degree programs across a wide range of subjects. Freie Universität Berlin was founded on December 4, 1948, by students, scholars, and scientists to support the American allied forces and politicians in Berlin. The move was sparked by the persecution faced by students who took a critical eye on the system at the former Universität Unter den Linden, located in the Soviet sector of the divided city. Students and academics wanted to be free to pursue their learning, teaching, and research activities at Freie Universität without being subject to political influence. Generous donations from the United States enabled Freie Universität to build some of its central facilities, including the Benjamin Franklin University Hospital and the Henry Ford Building. In a nod to the university's founding history, the seal of Freie Universität still features the words truth, justice, and freedom. In 2007, the university dedicated a memorial to the founding students killed by the Soviet secret service. The university also presents its Freedom Award to individuals who have made outstanding contributions to freedom. To remain relevant and to compete academically and intellectually from its isolated position in West Berlin, Freie Universität made connections with academic institutions and leading literary figures in Germany, elsewhere in Europe, and worldwide. What started of necessity soon became a success strategy: Freie Universität currently maintains roughly 105 partnerships at the university-wide level and about 330 university partnerships within the Erasmus academic exchange network. 45 institute partnerships. Freie Universität is located in the southwest of Berlin, in Dahlem's garden district, which had already become a top-ranked location for research and study in the early 20th century. Academic activity in Dahlem was supported by Friedrich Althoff, Ministerial Director at the Prussian Ministry of Culture, who proposed the founding of "a German Oxford" at that time. The first new buildings housed government academic and scientific agencies and new institutes of the former University of Berlin. Also, the Kaiser Wilhelm Society – the precursor of the Max Planck Society – maintained various institutes in Dahlem from the time it was founded in 1911. A dynamic group of scientists, including Albert Einstein, Werner Heisenberg, and Max Planck, performed pioneering research at the new site, earning multiple Nobel Prizes. In 1938, in what is now the Hahn-Meitner Building, nuclear fission occurred. Otto Hahn and Lise Meitner had spent more than two decades working together there toward that aim. Since it was first founded, Freie Universität Berlin has used former buildings of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society and brought several architecturally innovative buildings of its own to the area. Freie Universität is made up of groups of buildings all located within walking distance of one another. The campus planners designed it along the American college campus lines, a novelty in postwar Germany. The permanent exhibition "Future from the Very Beginning" (Zukunft von Anfang an) in the Henry Ford Building of Freie Universität highlights the university's rich and varied history, from its founding in 1948 right up to the present day. Photographs, early films, radio reports, and contemporary printed materials show the university's position at the center of contemporary events right from the start. The Henry Ford Building exhibition is open to the public at no charge during regular building opening hours (Garystraße 35, 14195 Berlin, 7:30 a.m.–8 p.m. Monday through Friday).

The Japanese Red Cross College of Nursing sincerely explores nursing science, both in theorizing and practice, in a much broader context of "humanity." All Red Cross activities are based on this principle, which, as you all know it, amounts to the way human beings should be. Despite its apparent familiarity, however, it is not always easy to be humanitarian. While pursuing nursing inquiry, we must always face all the difficulties that might intrinsically accompany this academic enterprise. Based on the Red Cross principles, we aim to nurture human resources possessing the skills necessary to carry out nursing and conduct research into nursing practice, develop strongly humane, broadly educated people who are capable of helping people and contributing to international society. Considering this in terms of actual medical settings, healthcare professionals must bear in mind an essential prerequisite that every possible effort be made to preserve the dignity of and protect the lives of those in desperate need of care and treatment. The most significant emphasis should then be placed on the idea that humans are individually unique, with their life histories, preferences, values widely differing from each other. We could never achieve our objective without understanding how diverse individual uniqueness will be. Studies of nursing science include anthropological research and should develop itself with insights gained in other academic disciplines, such as philosophy, sociology, psychology, necessary medicine, and clinical medicine. The College traces her history back to 1890 when the Red Cross Society started a program to foster nurses. There remains an official document that shows that in 1891 the first graduates were dispatched to give their helping hands to those suffering in the big earthquake. The Red Cross nursing education aims to provide care and relief, not only in peacetime but in disaster. In 1986 we started a four-year curriculum to be qualified as College and have ever since been engaged in human resources development in domestic/overseas disaster support and public health. March 11th, 2011, witnessed the Quake that deprived thousands of people of their lives, devastating the beautiful region in such a way that we could barely remember its original configuration. Along with a chain of support provision from overseas, various domestic relief groups, including the Red Cross Rescue Party, doctors, nurses, pharmacologists, administrative staff, and graduates of the College have been formed to be part of the rescuing project. Human beings' dignity does not vary in time, place, occasion, nationality, or race, nor is it impinged by the kind or quality of health problems for each individual. Where there is a will, passion, enthusiasm, authentic knowledge, and wisdom, there is a way. Educational Objects and Goals: Increasing the necessary abilities to engage with others and awareness and sensibilities to understand that each human being's existence is irreplaceable and has inherent worth. By cultivating the necessary abilities to defend human dignity and human rights and take action informed by ethical decisions. By cultivating the necessary abilities to assess and respond to various health issues. Cultivating basic abilities to provide necessary nursing care to people who suffer critical health problems due to rapid natural and social changes. By cultivating the necessary abilities to cooperate with specialists in various fields to develop interdisciplinary activities and play an active role in creating new forms of community health and welfare. By cultivating the necessary abilities to work with an international viewpoint and awareness of own role in a changing world, to contribute, through the practice of nursing, to society in Japan and overseas. By cultivating the necessary abilities for lifelong ongoing self-development in nursing practice, education, and research. By providing the knowledge and skills required to practice nursing as a profession with responsibility and pride while continually growing human beings. View full university

Based on the Red Cross's humanitarian spirit, doctors and nurses are dispatched to disaster areas to work as members of relief squads both in Japan and overseas. We have adopted the fundamental principles of the Red Cross as our school philosophy to advocate humanitarian spirit. Thus, our education curriculum consists of five major concepts: human beings, environment, health, nursing, and the Red Cross. We provide courses, including Disaster Nursing and Disaster Relief, which correlate with nursing studies in each specialization area. Medical providers are required to have a warm heart, calm and accurate judgment, and reliable skills. In order to meet such requirements, they need to have sufficient knowledge and powers of observation. These fundamental concepts are taught during primary nursing education, which leads to and develops necessary nursing skills. More than anything, it is essential that each student maintains the attitude to continue independent and active learning. The code of conduct of nursing activities by the Red Cross shall be based on the fundamental principles of the Red Cross: humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity, and universality. We will accomplish the aim of colleges, "As a center of academic activities, colleges should provide people with a wide variety of pieces of knowledge, teach and conduct extensive research on specialties, and develop intelligent, moral and application abilities of students." (School Education Act Article 83) Also, we will proliferate the Red Cross's belief, which is based on humanity, our spirit of the foundation. Thus, we will nurture people who can independently act to provide well-balanced scientific nursing based on the Red Cross's principles. These people shall be sensitive and socially adjustable. They should also have the necessary abilities to practice nursing activities respecting individuals in health, medical, welfare services, and relief programs in Japan and abroad. Please imagine yourself after graduation. You might be working as an emergency personnel member or talking and smiling to children in a pediatric ward. You will spend four years studying at our college to transform your dream into reality. Purpose of education: We will develop nurses who can practice the humanitarian principle of the Red Cross. We will cultivate the abilities to develop the human relationship, being mentally matured and independent. We will develop the capabilities to judge facts accurately, extract issues, and creatively solve them. We will train the ability to provide care considering scientific and ethical judgment based on nursing's foundation. We will make students realize their social responsibilities, encourage them to learn throughout their lives, and develops their skills to cooperate with other specialists. We will develop human resources that are always interested in world affairs and contribute to international society by practicing nursing activities. View full university

Japanese Red Cross Kyushu International College of Nursing (JRCKICN) was established in 2001 under the Japanese Red Cross Academy. Our nursing education is based on the philosophy of 'Humanity,' one of the seven principles of the Red Cross. Our goal is to educate students to be professional nurses who can protect human dignity and advocate for human rights through nursing practice. As the only Red Cross nursing college in Japan bearing "international" in its name, our nursing education is focused on internationalism. The spirit is reflected in our slogan: Let us care for the world just as we care for an individual. It has been 125 years since the Japanese Red Cross Society (JRCS) started a nursing training program during the Meiji Period. JRCS has been systematizing nursing care and producing several nursing leaders in various fields ever since. History has shown how the nurses equipped with the Red Cross spirit have been taking on active and honorable roles in helping sufferers in the 1896 Sanriku earthquake, World War I, and World War II. Following our predecessors' footsteps, JRCKICN actively engaged in helping victims in the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami, 2016 Kumamoto Earthquakes, and 2017 Northern Kyushu Flood, as part of Red Cross activities titled 'Disaster/Emergency Nursing.' These are just some examples of our educational practice, which is true to the spirit and name of JRCKICN. Japanese Red Cross Academy of Nursing and its affiliated colleges follow the humanitarian principles of the Red Cross "regardless of enemies or allies" and "cherish human life and dignity." We aim to develop human resources who aspire to protect human life and health as future nurses and care providers. We provide them the advanced nursing and care provider education required to obtain the certificates they aim for. Japanese Red Cross Academy of Nursing and its affiliated colleges expect our future alumni, in the spirit of the Red Cross, to take an active part in protecting human life and dignity in large-scale disasters and disputes regardless of nationality, as well as faithfully carry out their mission as nurses and care providers. Therefore, our curriculum includes the techniques and knowledge required for nurse and care provider certificates and fundamental knowledge of the Red Cross and international humanitarian law, and the skills and techniques of disaster nursing and international health. Along with providing high-quality lectures and practicum in nursing, our college also emphasizes Liberal Arts education to lead students into awareness and appreciation of the diversity of human values. In 2016, our graduate school commenced 'Doctoral Course in Nursing' in cooperation with four other Red Cross nursing colleges in Japan. Now, several doctoral studies are in progress, taking advantage of our strengthened system for research guidance. We also have two divisions, 'Research Center for International Programs and Services' and 'Center of Continuing Education for Nurses', where we are actively improving the practice and strategies of nursing. JRCKICN is for those who hope to offer a helping hand to people in distress and enhance people's health and quality of life through nursing practice: Yes, we are for you! View full university

Japanese Red Cross Hiroshima College of Nursing is an affiliate of the Japanese Red Cross Society, an affiliate of the International Red Cross. The International Red Cross was founded in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1864. Henri Dunant's concern for wounded soldiers in battle led to the establishment of the International Red Cross. In 1877, the Hakuaisha, or Philanthropy Society, was founded in Japan by Count Tsunetami Sano, Yuzuru Ogyu, and others. In 1887, Hakuaisha renamed the Japanese Red Cross Society. The educational ideal of the Japanese Red Cross Hiroshima College of Nursing (JRCHCN) is human caring. Human caring cherishes the dignity of human life and wisdom based on 'humanity,' one of the seven principles of the Red Cross. To acquire the ability to practice human caring, our curriculum is structured on four conceptual components—Humanity, Knowledge, Relationships, and Skill. The college's educational philosophy is based on the theory of Human Caring, which is based on human dignity and wisdom. Human Caring means that nurses respect human dignity and heal patients' agony, distress, fear, and anger through the interpersonal process of caring. Nurses also help individuals to reach their highest level of growth, maturity, and health. At the same time, the caring process raises the nurses' level of growth. All human life is equally respected and given high regard and reverence. Thus, the implementation of Human Caring requires understanding individuals' wholeness and uniqueness, not only their biological existence but also their cultural, social, and historical uniqueness. Moreover, Human Caring requires the integration of concepts and theories with wisdom that has been passed on from generation to generation throughout human history. To develop an independent learning environment, we have enhanced our facilities and have created a variety of educational materials and methods. Not only have we created educational materials on Information Communication Technology (ICT), but we have also established the 'Simulation Center' in which students can learn the necessary knowledge and skills of fundamental nursing at a time that suits their schedule. For instance, they can learn the knowledge and skills of health assessment using the "Simulators" (advanced patient care mannequins). Also, based on our research, we have trained several Standardized Patients (SP) to enable our students better to practice the methods of caring communication, caring skills, and the construction of relationships with patients. As a means of primary education for clinical training, we have introduced 'Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE)' into our curriculum, allowing students to experience more realistic clinical settings at college than would be possible through conventional methods. Our college also obtained a MEXT' Program for Promoting University Education' (Theme A) subsidy from 2009 to 2011 to promote training for international disaster relief nurses. Our research resulted in the 2012 introduction of the elective 'Preparatory Course for International Relief Nursing.' This course aims to develop the fundamental abilities of nursing professionals who can play an essential role in domestic and international disaster relief and development cooperation. In this way, we provide an educational environment in which students can learn the fundamental knowledge and skills necessary to participate in a broad range of nursing activities in every situation. Our college is located on a hillside in Hatsukaichi City, from which we can enjoy a panoramic view of the beautiful islands of the Seto Inland Sea. These include Miyajima, on which is located Itsukushima Shrine, a World Heritage registered site. We welcome opportunities to collaborate with international partners and look forward to exploring and developing nursing education at both local and global levels. View full university
