Professors Haruyasu Yamaguchi and Ayako Ohno were appointed as training subject coordinators.
Training was provided at six hospital and other medical facilities (three in 1999) and three elderly care facilities.
We received a grant, “2004 grant for education and research environments”, for “Studies to improve teamwork training” - a mandatory subject for every student in all departments of the School of Health Sciences. We made a report, “Educational assessment of teamwork training - Academic achievements evaluated by training facilities and self-assessment”, in the form of a leaflet.
