Date/times: Tuesday, 16th and 30th September 2025 ｜7:00 - 8:30 (ET)/12:00 - 13:30 (GMT)/20:00 - 21:30 (JST)
Venue: Zoom

An “International Collaboration for Cultural Competency, Compassionate Care and Leadership” workshop took place on Tuesday, 16th and 30th September 2025. Students at Institute of Science Tokyo (Science Tokyo), King’s College London (King’s), and Harvard School of Dental Medicine (HSDM) joined this session. In the first session, a faculty member from King’s joined online and kindly gave a lecture about cultural competency, care, and empathy. Students were then given tasks related to care and empathy in a non-dental/medical environment and asked to work within their groups to prepare presentations. In the second session, students from the three universities gathered again to share their presentations, which included video and still photos of places of interest in Boston/London/Tokyo. This helped deepen their understanding of cultural competency, compassionate care and leadership.
