Introduction
The Center for Education and Professional Career Development was established in July 2014. The purposes of our center are nurturing and securing of able human resources, clarification of career paths in each type of job, 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 National Cancer Center (NCC) 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 education program of the NCC with more than 50 years of history is under re-examination to produce more able cancer specialists effectively. We carry out discussions to build a new resident education program that can cope with the change of a new board certification system started in 2017.
The faculty development course has been started in both Tsukiji and Kashiwa campuses since 2016.
Education
The cooperative post-graduate school programs with Keio University and Juntendo University were started in 2012 and the program with the Jikei University School of Medicine was started in 2017. In 2017, eight, 38, and four post-
graduate students, 50 in total, were registered at the cooperative post-graduate school program with Keio University, Juntendo University, and the Jikei University School of Medicine, respectively. Among them, 17 post-graduate students received a Ph.D. degree.
Future prospects
The NCC 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 fields in the near future. We aim at the construction of a system performing personnel training for all types of jobs about medical treatment and cancer research, and support for cancer patients, including office workers as well as doctors.
