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.

For the 8th FYRM session of the academic year 2018, we will host Dr. Nobuhiko Hayashi, an Obstetrician with a sub-specialty in fetal medicine. After he graduated from the University of Tokyo (Biophysics and Biochemistry) in 2007, Dr. Hayashi graduated from Chiba University School of Medicine in 2011. During his OB/GY residency training program, Dr. Hayashi realized that there are not enough support systems for the diagnosis of fetal diseases. As a result, he established the NPO for Family and Baby Wellness and underwent a training program at The Fetal Medicine Foundation in the UK from 2015 to 2018. Dr. Hayashi's primary interest is in advancing maternal-fetal medicine without undermining human dignity. He also serves as a member of JMA-JDN, and as an advisor for Ninshin-SOS.

This session will be carried out in a round-table discussion format, and will cover the following points:

• About fetal medicine: What is fetal medicine? Why chose it as a sub-specialty?
• Approach to tackling social problems: Details and hardships in establishing an NPO; road map towards solving future problems
• Clinical experience in the UK: Differences in training programs between Japan and the UK
• Mission, vision, outlook: Personal mission, future vision, role-models, and career path
• Advice for students: What we should do to prepare for working globally

Everyone is welcome to join us in a hearty discussion!
