AboutAbout the lab
A nursing lab with a global perspective.
The Global Health Nursing Lab addresses noncommunicable diseases such as diabetes, health disparities, and environmental health issues from the standpoint of nursing.
The lab believes that even when research is conducted in Japan, sharing the results with the world can contribute to the development of nursing both in Japan and abroad.
Built on a foundation of nursing, it is an interdisciplinary lab that welcomes students who are interested in a wide range of academic fields beyond nursing.
The lab also supports the healthcare course of the Japan Expert (Bachelor's) Program, a program for international undergraduate students.
