Introduction
The Center for Education and Professional Career Development plans and manages human resources development such as career paths for each occupation and acquisition of professional qualifications, and builds training courses to acquire the specialized knowledge and skills required for cancer treatment. By planning workshops and coordinating job rotation, we aim to improve the medical care level of the entire hospital and community medical staff, and to educate the general public.
The Team and What We Do
1. Career paths were created to build a human resources development system that realizes advanced medical care and research for cancer. To support the acquisition of qualifications for each department, we provided support for the acquisition of the ones they each require. The number of cases of qualification acquisition support in 2022 was 64, but the number of cases of actual acquisition was only 42, mainly due to the situation with the coronavirus pandemic and state of emergency.
2. Regarding job rotation for hospital staff (internal rules) to deal with the chronic shortage of human resources in areas such as medical information, research support, and ethical review in the hospital, we created and started operating job rotation rules (IRB from the pharmacy department). (Secretariat: one person; IRB Secretariat from the Radiation Technology Department: one person; Clinical Research Coordinator Office from the Clinical Laboratory Department: one person).
3. We planned and implemented a briefing session for residents who wish to apply to a resident course, a NEXT symposium, etc. In addition, a briefing session support system (internal rules) for academic societies was created and put into operation. In 2022, almost everything was done online.
4. In 2022, as results of examination for resident courses, we adopted 50 doctors in medical doctor resident course, 7 in resident course for pharmacist, 3 in resident course for medical physicist and 2 in resident course for radiation technologist.
5. A work conference was held once a month for partner graduate school students to provide advice for research guidance. In 2022, 5 collaborative graduate students received their medical degrees.
6. We started an overseas training support system and decided to support 2 staff members in 2022.
7. We held English conversation training and Chinese language courses to improve the language proficiency of medical staff.
8. The instructor liaison meetings were held every 2 months to examine problems regarding the guidance of specialists.
9. We planned and implemented various educational seminars and lectures on resident guidance methods.
Future Prospects
1. At present, the types of work that the Human Resources Development Center can be involved in are still limited, so we will get an understanding of the situation regarding securing human resources in a wider range of occupations, identify problems, and actively provide information accordingly. We would like to build a system that secures excellent human resources by disseminating information.
2. To contribute to the internationalization of hospitals, we would like to cooperate not only with domestic facilities but also with overseas facilities, and strengthen efforts and human resources development with a view to securing international human resources.
3. In the Center for Education and Professional Career Development, we will develop staff with expertise in our center’s work.
