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 third FYRM session of academic year 2017 we will be hosting Dr. Fujiwara a TMDU medical school and PhD 2004 alumnus. He went on to achieve his MPH from Harvard School of Public Health in 2006, conducting his postdoc research at National Center for Child Health and Development, Harvard School of Public Health, and University of British Columbia. In 2008 he returned to Japan to serve as Section Chief of Behavioral Science at National Institute of Public Health. From 2010 he became Department Head of Social Medicine at National Research Institute for Child Health and Development in Japan. And in 2016 he was appointed professor at Tokyo Medical and Dental University. His research interests are child abuse prevention, mental health, biology of social behavior, life-course epidemiology, and social epidemiology. 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.
