Health Sciences Development
We define health sciences as the interdisciplinary research areas to study “health” which adopts a broad concept of the maintenance of and the improvement in biopsychosocial well-being for all.
Our institute consists of three organizations ‒ an undergraduate school and a postgraduate school to which our students belong, and a faculty with academics. The undergraduate school is addressed as the Department of Health Sciences because it’s under the umbrella of the School of Medicine. Though, the Graduate School of Health Sciences is independent of the School of Medicine. The Faculty of Health Sciences is made up of Health Sciences faculty members who are engaged in education and research.
We are committed to establishing academic frameworks in health sciences which contribute to regaining, maintaining and enhancing human health. We also endeavor to produce researchers and educators who advance the academic frameworks and pass the torch to the next generations aiming to help further improve higher education and boost the standards of research in Japan.
