Feedback:

[Dr. Deog-Yoon Kim]
The programs of the HICARE training were excellent and I was able to attend very meaningful lectures from distinguished lecturers. The experience of seeing actual medical practices was also very valuable. Thanks to HICARE's staff members in charge of the training, the training program progressed very smoothly. I enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere in Hiroshima with the clean air and organized streets.

[Dr. Ji-Woon Yea]
I was extremely satisfied with the training in which instructors at the highest level in their fields took charge of our training and we were able to hear their inspiring lectures. I am usually engaged in work concerning radiation. However, I would not have encountered such a range of knowledge and information if I had not participated in this training. Therefore, this training was very beneficial also from an academic viewpoint. I also acquired information on necessary countermeasures against nuclear accidents and on the systems that need to be established. Participating in this training became a valuable experience for me.

[Dr. Jang-Hyuk Cho]
I would like to express my appreciation to all the distinguished instructors for sparing their time to give us lectures despite their busy schedules. It was a pleasure visiting medical institutions in Japan that have a higher level of technologies of medical treatment for A-bomb victims than Korea. What I learned in this training will be very helpful for me to diagnose patients with radiation disorders in Korea, and I will spread the benefits of the HICARE training among doctors there.

[Dr. Sang-Ho Lee]
I examined several radiation-exposure victims. In Korea, I once received education concerning the medical care of radiation-exposure victims from a doctor from Japan. The knowledge and information that I have learned in this training will also be helpful to treat patients with radiation disorders.
I was also impressed by the beautiful landscape of Hiroshima. It was a wonderful experience for me to encounter the beautifulness of Japan.
