Feedback:

-With my newly acquired knowledge, I have a greater appreciation and respect for what people of Hiroshima experienced.
 I learned about the many research study that continue to be ongoing with the survivors and look forward to hearing the final data results of those outcomes to apply that to practice. The database of the many subjects is so rich & vast that these results will be helpful to many in our long term survivorship clinics.

-Very informative with past and current research projects. Enjoyed the history of Hiroshima and how all those committees and sections came about.
