Feedback:

- The training in Hiroshima was very good. I learned a lot about radiation. Existence of various types of radiation and effects on humans. Acute, chronic effects and risk of cancer. The lectures of the specialists were quite enlightening. I believe that Hiroshima is the largest center specialized in radiation studies in the world.

 

‐I’ve learned about the devastating effects that radiation can cause, both physical and psychological, in addition that recovery with a long and difficult process involving a lot of hard working people.

 

-

We had classes with professors that are references in their research field, therefore we were taught most up-to-date knowledge in Radiation Medicine, in an excellent center.

Besides the technical content, living the Japanese way of life and of working is, undoubtedly, a remarkable experience and a great learning.

The curriculum and length of the training fit well my demands, maybe if we could also do the one-week practical training in radiation accident/disease it would be a complete clinical learning in this field.
