In recent years, needs for pediatric nursing have become increasingly specialized, complicated, and long-term-oriented, both in Japan and globally. Postgraduate studies are focused on improving the quality of life of children and their families by applying high-level practical skills and research to basic pediatric nursing principles. We also pursue nursing care that will lead to maximal independence based on the health level of both the child and the family. Practical training and research is performed at various institutions including hospitals, childcare centers, schools, etc.
