The medical field in Japan is based on a solid financial foundation with a good balance between the individual and the public, always incorporating the latest technology, providing the best treatment environment for the individual benefit, and realizing the public benefit of the world's longest life expectancy, which is attracting attention from the world.

In this class, we will continue to discuss the ideal future as the primary theme for all sessions, and each student will be able to draw a clear image of the future. Then based on this image, we will search for issues that society is currently facing and construct a plan to create the ideal future by solving them.
Through this process, students will be asked to make concrete proposals based on their observations of the natural world, using several social projects related to life, health, and medical care as reference cases to acquire the skills necessary for problem-solving.
