Kameda College of Health Sciences

The title of the incorporated school, "Tesshoukan (that operates the College)," dates back into the 19th century as our progenitor, Jishow Kameda, having learned modern Western medicine in Nagasaki, opened a private school to teach those who aspired to learn medicine. Ever since, our commitment to education had continued into the 21st century, by educating nurses who are well qualified and essential in health care services, while responding to changes in health care and society. In the recent years, complexity and advancement in health care services have been demanding nurses to have higher-level competencies to fulfill everexpanding roles and responsibilities. Based on our belief that college-level education is essential to fulfill those demands, we have established the Kameda College of Health Sciences with a Baccalaureate nursing program since 2012. Through four years of comprehensive and sophisticated professional nursing education in this program, we expect our graduates to play key roles in health care teams in the future. In addition, we are preparing for the opening of a graduate program in nursing to assist nurses to continue their career advancement. On the other hand, we are also eyeing on the development of wide-range of health care professionals who can meet changing demands of society today and in the future. We trust that both our comprehensive academic and clinical learning environment at Kameda will enable students to acquire wide range of competencies needed by the society with ever increasing number of people with advancing age.
