Gunma Prefectural College of Health Sciences is based in Maebashi, 바카라사이트 "City of Water, Greenery and Poets", 65 miles north west of Tokyo.
Founded in 1970 as Gunma Prefectural College of Welfare, it was 바카라사이트 first Japanese school to offer a specialism in radiology and in 1972 it added nursing. These two disciplines have remained constant through 바카라사이트 creation of 바카라사이트 Gunma Medical Junior College in 1993, 바카라사이트 closure of 바카라사이트 College of Welfare in 1996, 바카라사이트 creation of 바카라사이트 current institution in 2005 and subsequent closure of 바카라사이트 Junior College and 바카라사이트 opening of a Graduate School in 2009.
In May 2019 it was accredited by 바카라사이트 Japanese University Accreditation Association (JUAA).
It has also maintained a consistent enrolment of around 500 students, with a little more than two-thirds studying nursing, while offering a "next-generation-oriented curriculum" whose aim is to "foster nursing personnel and radiology technicians as health and medical care professionals who strive to provide medical practices that are grounded in scientific evidence based on advanced, systemised and specialist knowledge and techniques while preserving 바카라사이트 human dignity of patients, as well as work to always achieve optimal health conditions".
It is a public institution in 바카라사이트 prefecture and 바카라사이트 first in Japan to introduce free medical care to 바카라사이트 age of 15. In its role as a Regional Coordinating Centre, it works closely with Gunma’s specialist cancer, psychiatric medicine, cardiovascular and children’s hospitals as well as playing a significant public health education role.
