nursing
Presently, as the health and medical environment are changing (e.g. the arrival of the aging society and the consciousness concerning health issues is varied), so is the advancement and specialization taking place in the field of nursing. To educate the nursing students, who can accommodate these changing circumstances, Jichi Medical University, School of Nursing, was established in April, 2002. It aims to train nursing students to engage in advanced medical treatment and community nursing by fostering high standards in abilities and ethics. Our unique educational philosophy teaches nursing students through a step-by-step approach.
