School of Health and Welfare
Department of Social Services and Healthcare Management
Professionals to support and assist individuals’ wellbeing with specialized knowledge and skills in health, welfare and medical management
Japan has become a nation of the longest-lived people. In this rapidly aging society, everybody has the right to enjoy his/her own wellbeing in daily living, whether with or without health problems, and there is a great demand for the contribution of certified welfare and medical specialists. In health and welfare services, specialists who can make the best use of limited resources for people in need must have good management capabilities. Our department trains students to be such experts both in medical care and management.
