To Become a Health Care Practitioner with Liberal Spirits

As a result of significant advances in both techniques and technologies in the field of medical science, Japan’s health care environment has been experiencing rapid changes. These same advances have given Japan a lengthened average life span as well as a declining birth rate. The demand for nurses with capabilities to make precise observations and to provide exact assessment and skilled care increased not only in conventional health care institutions, but also in community and home health care setting.

Osaka City University School of Nursing, opened especially to meet these needs. The school has developed a unique curriculum which is particularly useful in dealing with the complex problems our society is facing, such as creating a viable health care environment in an increasingly stressful modern society; a health care environment which takes into account the needs of elders as well as young people, focusing on the common thread of humanity and health that we all share. The need for keeping abreast of the latest developments in international nursing is also emphasized as Japan moves to integrate further into the global health care community as health care leaders.

Students who complete the course offered by this school will be qualified to take the license examination required for practice as registered nurses and public health nurses, and also be able to go on to graduate schools or move on to school nurse or nurse midwife courses.

Osaka City University Graduate School of Nursing, established in 2008, offers a master and doctor of philosophy program and has the an aspiration to carry out further research into nursing science.
