Hybrid Human Resource Development in the Combination of Clinical and Graduate Research

Abstract

Changing workplace attitudes toward clinical research is fostered by trial and error providing optimal therapeutic backgrounds and diverse ideas. On the other hand, students have many opportunities to learn while in university, and we hope that they will have hopes to contribute to team medicine and community health care, and still develop a research mindset. As one of the ways to achieve these objectives, students can be exposed to clinical research from an early point by sharing information with pharmacists and other professionals in the clinical field and working on their research projects. Our laboratory has been engaged in community health care challenges through collaborations with municipal hospitals and pharmacies in the region. In this context, we will introduce the connection between students and post-graduate education based on examples of graduation research worked on with pharmacists and professors of various professions. 1) Retrospective Study of Nutrition Risk Assessment Using Nutrition Tools: A research case study of a multidisciplinary collaboration on nutrition screening using three different nutrition assessment tools to clarify how nutritional endpoints affect nutrition risk assessment. 2) Validation of Causes and Countermeasures for Falls Using a Falls Assessment Score Sheet: Falls of the elderly in community health care.
