Searching for further possibilities and enhancing competence ?occupational therapists to work with “mind” and “body”

Occupational therapists support people with mental and/or physical disorders, with the goal of restoring their independence. Occupational therapists look for further possibilities in each individual by observing and analyzing scientifically so that the client can acquire new skills for his/her new daily life. Our field covers a wide variety of activities such as health, medicine, and welfare as well as education and research. Our department offers six rehabilitation courses so that students can have as many chances as they want in order to gain the knowledge and skills needed to work in hospitals, medical facilities, community centers and private homes. In addition, clinical training in hospitals and facilities help students with practical experiences. Our vision is to foster occupational therapists who understand their clients’ will and wishes for their future by supporting them in every way they can.
