When you or your loved one harm your health, why don't you participate in the education of medical professionals as a simulated patient because you want to receive good medical care? Medical care is a human partner, so failure is not allowed in the actual field. Therefore, when learning how to listen to the patient's talk and how to deal with the patient in the classroom, the other person (simulated patient) is necessary. Beyond the time of “contributing to the education of medical professionals and receiving high-quality medical care in the future,” there is a social contribution that we want you to participate in, building relationships with each other. Introduces the significance, rewarding, and specific methods of simulated patients in the education of nurses and other healthcare professionals.

Applied Microeconomics Let's enjoy everyday life with microeconomics Lecturer: Associate Professor Department of Economics ISHII Ryosuke Even though there is a desire to learn and understand economics, there is a very steep journey. Even at the beginner level, studying economics requires you to struggle with thick textbooks and difficult classes. Or you may have given up after such a struggle. Economics textbooks are full of formulas and graphs. Many students are confused by the abstract content that is far from the prior image. In order to help such people, this course is open to university lecture subjects. Let's find a microeconomic mechanism in the context of small problems in everyday life (but a big problem for the individual) rather than a big story such as "the impact of global inflation on monetary policy of the Bank of Japan". With the words of microeconomics, you will be able to understand the problem more deeply and accurately than ever before, and you may find hints that will enrich your life. This is a class structure that contains elements of active learning, such as group work. If you are not good at it, please contact us in advance. Other contents are available at syllabus.	4/11 ～ 7/25 every Tuesday 9:00～10:30 (Excluding 7/18) Class B-203	10 people	Free of charge	Each time one week ago

Specifically, the book will be read one chapter at a time, and participants will discuss each other to deepen their understanding of the background, etc. proposed. In this context, we may also touch on another issue area of "AI and Constitution." This exercise will help you objectively look at the environment in which we are located and think about how to act in a society full of information.

Understanding and involvement of children who care about ~ Now is what I want to convey to teachers and parents. Lecturer: Dr. Yoji Kanehara, Director of Pediatric Clinic When you hear a child you are worried about, you tend to be regarded as a "child with illness or disability", but a child you are worried about is considered a "child who does not know how to get involved." And it is important to see children not only from the viewpoint of disability but also from various directions such as temperament, anxiety, sense, attachment. In this course, we will talk about how to understand the children, students, and students who are in contact with them on a daily basis, as well as how to interact with such children and how to support them in an easy-to-understand manner. . Based on the impact of COVID-19 on children, you can get a lot of hints to understand children!
