After obtaining Family Practice Board in United States, I started Family Practice in Nagi-cho in Okayama Prefecture since 2001, and have been working on the Family Practice residency education. In addition, I have been working to foster nurses and pharmacists who work in communities as well as physicians and have achieved certain results.
Family Practice Nurse education is a model that leads to the accreditation system of primary care nurses at Japan Primary Care Association, and Family Practice pharmacist Residency is an effort to become an educational model in the field of the training system of Japan Primary Care Association. Nursing and pharmacist Education in the primary care, Family Practice Residency education, has educational resources that can be shared from the perspective of IPE（Interprofessional education）, and links with about 400 Family Practice residency programs nationwide are desired.
By looking back at the 18-year commitment at the Nagi Family Clinic, I would like to examine the impact of family physicians on the region in terms of primary care Nurse and Pharmacist education, which plays a new role in the region.
