We have been holding a series of events called “Find-Your-Role-Model” Session to provide students with opportunities to interact with TMDU alumni and worldwide leaders in health sciences. Through this roundtable-type, relaxed atmosphere event, we hope students will be able to find their role models in order to facilitate their career development in becoming future global leaders.

In the sixth FYRM session of academic year 2016 we will be hosting Dr. Tomoko Komagata. She has had a very interesting career, especially for those of you who would like to work in the field of global health. After receiving clinical nursing experience in Japan, she worked as a JICA volunteer nurse in Pakistan. After that, she started her career as a researcher. She studied Tropical Medicine and Global Health at graduate school of Nagasaki University, and had fieldwork experiences mainly in Southeast Asian countries. This session will be carried out in a round-table discussion format, and will cover the following points. Everyone is welcome to join us in a hearty discussion.
