Anesthesiologists are facing manpower shortages across Japan, and the Tohoku region is considered the most advanced area worldwide for a super-aging society. Thus, we are training a new type of anesthesiologists, who can share a multi-disciplinary framework, create practical requirements, and accomplish them with a highly social impact. To cooperate with other medical staff or districts, we qualify them to perform medical-engineering collaboration, while integrating arts and sciences, diversity, and entrepreneurship. Based on these abilities, anesthesiologists should provide practical and sustainable results. We also strive to overcome our society of manpower shortage, decreasing birth rate and aging population.
