The 30th International Seminar: Lecture by Prof. TSUDA Takeshi of Thomas Jefferson University

After graduating from Shinshu University School of Medicine, Prof.TSUDA Takeshi underwent five-year training at the Department of Pediatrics, Shinshu University School of Medicine and moved to the United States. After completion of clinical training in Pediatrics and Pediatric Cardiology at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, he engaged in basic research at Thomas Jefferson University. Currently, he serves as a professor of Pediatrics at Nemours Children's Hospital Delaware.

On October 21, 2024, Prof.Tsuda visited Shinshu University and gave a lecture in the 30th International Seminar, which was held in cooperation with Sho-ikai, the alumni association of Shinshu University School of Medicine and that of the Department of Pediatrics.

At the seminar, 40 participants including graduate and undergraduate students, faculty and doctors listened intently to Prof.Tsuda's impassioned talk about the recent trends in the U.S. medical industry and the significance of studying abroad.

The seminar was followed by a social gathering, also attended by Emeritus Prof. KUBO Keishi, Chairman of Sho-ikai, Prof. YUZURIHA Shunsuke, the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and Prof. SAWAMURA Tatsuya, the Department of Molecular Pathophysiology, who had a great time discussing various topics with participating students.

I believe that the seminar greatly encouraged the participating students to study abroad. I expect to see more and more students make their way in the world like Prof. TSUDA.
