Feedback:

-The lectures on radiation disaster preparedness emphasized not only post-disaster response and research, but also the importance of preparedness and routine training during peacetime to minimize damage.
-The atomic bomb caused not only immediate destruction but also long-term physical and psychological effects that greatly changed survivors’ lives. The continued efforts of researchers to uncover the truth and share these lessons with the world were deeply impressive.
-As atomic bomb survivors continue to age, the knowledge gained through this training will help improve geriatric medical care in our community.
