Introduction

The Center for Education and Professional Career Development was established in July 2014. The purposes of our center are nurturing and securing able human resources, clarification of career paths in each type of job, and the improvement of systematic educational programs. Under the director of the center and two vice-directors, the Office for Career Management, the Office for Graduate Medical Education, and the Office for Professional Education Management are placed.

Our team and what we do

The Office for Career Management conducts career path development of each professional, strategic securing of able professionals, and the management of the information about alumnus. The Office for Graduate Medical Education conducts the promotion of cooperative post-graduate schools and the management of education programs for residents. The Office for Professional Education Management conducts the planning of education programs for all the center staff, the planning and implementation of common training programs at the time of adoption, the planning and implementation of the individual education program for each professional field, and the management of attendance on various lectures.

The resident educational program of the National Cancer Center (NCC) has a history of nearly 50 years, and has started the re-examination of the resident educational program to produce more able cancer specialists effectively. We carry out discussions to build a new resident educational program that can cope with the change of a new board certification system that will start in 2017.

This year, faculty development course has been started in both Tsukiji and Kashiwa campuses.

Education

The cooperative post-graduate school program with Keio University and Juntendo University were started in 2012. In 2016, 10 and 41 post-graduate students, 51 in total, were registered at the cooperative post-graduate school program with Keio University and Juntendo University, respectively. Among them, 15 post-graduate students received a PhD.

Future prospects

The National Cancer Center has to nurture experts in a variety of job types to engage in medical treatment and cancer research, support of cancer patients, and provide such experts throughout Japan. It is also expected that we nurture able professionals who should be leaders in their field in the near future. We want to aim at the construction of a system performing personnel training by all types of jobs about medical treatment and cancer research, and support for cancer patients including office workers as well as doctors.
