Feedback:

- The experience will help me be able to recruit & orient future trainees better.

  I will also plan to teach other doctors about the A–bomb survivors & learns learned from Fukushima.

 

- I am sorry that other doctors from other countries did not attend the training.

  I had expected a larger group of doctors.

 

- Nursing home with survivors was extremely enlightening.

  Interesting to see research facility and hospitals.

 

-Education of radiation and CT scans was very informative; I use CT’s in the ER,

  I work for a Non Profit; would like to pass on: educate the medical staff.
