Geriatric Medicine
Outline
As a unique class specializing in elder care in Hokuriku district, we provide medical care for the elderly, study geriatric conditions and aging, and develop human resources with expert knowledge and skills.
The population of the elderly will increase and the world will be a high-aged society, so it is expected that geriatric conditions and diversification will correspondingly increase. There is no doubt that elder care will become more necessary.
Our class engages in daily care, education, and study for this eventuality.
