小児手外科・マイクロサージャリー分野における海外臨床留学受け入れと国際交流

抄録

　The National Center for Child Health and Development (NCCHD) , Tokyo, Japan, aims to promote medical care and research related to diseases occurring throughout the life cycle, from fetal development through adolescence to adulthood. The NCCHD performs surgeries for congenital differences, brachial plexus birth palsy, and malformations. It has become one of the world’s leading institutions in this field, based on the volume of cases it manages. Building on this background and philosophy, we have established a system to accept students wanting to undertake overseas clinical studies in the field of pediatric hand surgery and microsurgery. Our goal is to adopt a global perspective, recognize diverse values, and introduce innovative approaches to medicine. Our international students engage in outpatient clinics, surgeries, and conferences; gain valuable insights from academic papers; and prepare for presentations at international forums. We are continuously striving to enhance our training system to ensure that these students have a meaningful experience during their time studying in Japan. In this presentation, I would like to discuss the status of clinical study abroad and international exchange programs within our department, highlighting their significance.
