SAN DIEGO (NNS) -- Medical professionals from National Defense Medical College, Japan, visited Naval Medical Center San Diego (NMCSD) for a tour of the medical spaces during a subject matter expert exchange with NMCSD staff, July 18.
The National Defense Medical College (NDMC) is Japan’s six-year university-level military academy that trains current military doctors into future military officers.
Four university medical staff from NDMC toured NMCSD’s training and operational spaces, including Bioskills Simulation Training Center.
“It benefits us because we do not have a big facility like NMCSD has here,” said Lt. Nishimura Hiroki from Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force and current medical resident at NMCSD.
“I have never seen medical mannequins like the ones in Bioskills before, so it is super beneficial for this type of dedicated simulated center,” said Hiroki about Bioskills.
NMCSD medical staff showed training videos on combat care, explained simulation training with medical mannequins and virtual training from computerized equipment before NDMC medical personnel, to provide insights on the hospital and combat medical care.
“Communication and teamwork were identified as process of improvement,” said Carmen Spalding, NMCSD nurse educator and one of the tour guides for the Japanese delegates.
Japanese medical representatives said they enjoyed taking turns participating in different activities and testing NMCSD’s advanced medical gadgets.
“This is good training for fast diagnosis,” said visiting delegate and associate professor Manabu Kinoshita.
After Bioskills, Japanese delegates completed their visit at NMCSD with additional tours and a roundtable discussion with hospital staff.
This visit was organized and coordinated through the Uniformed Services University Western Region office in an effort to continue the development of international partnerships.
