St. Luke’s International Hospital was founded more than 100 years ago by Dr. Rudolph B. Teusler, who incorporated public health into its operations from its first days. Since then the hospital has expanded to include the St. Luke’s International University and has played a pioneering role in many public health advances in Japan. In this Open Seminar, we will present the history of public health at St. Luke's and in Japan, and why St. Luke's has now established the Graduate School of Public Health to educate professionals who will serve the world from the perspectives of history, education, and career development. The seminar is open to all interested parties, including those considering enrollment in the school. You are also welcome to attend only the part I. We look forward to seeing you there.
