Yesterday, I had a chance to tell about the University of Tokyo School of Public Health in the morning meeting. In the Department of Forensic Medicine We have meetings twice a week, Tuesday and Friday. They know the title of the course but are not exactly what we are doing in this course.
The University of Tokyo SPH was established in 2007. By the way isn't there any abbrebiation for the school? UTSPH? We mainly study biostatistics and epidemiology.
There are three SPHs in Japan for now. One is at the University of Tokyo and the other two are in Kyoto and Kyushuu.
There have been the department of public health in the graduate shool of medicine but university people tend not to apply their possibly useful findings to the public.
Some professors felt we need a place where people can find the useful way of the art invented in labolatories in the university. Then they set up SPH after those in the U.S.
I do now know where the Todai SPH will go, but I feel I owe some responsibility about that.
