Feedback (excerpt):

◆ I did not know that HICARE was such a wonderful organization until participating in this training. HICARE has achieved excellent support for radiation-exposure victims and carried out outstanding activities, making the best use of their structure, organizations and abilities. We were able to receive excellent lectures at HICARE-related organizations. I was especially satisfied with the training at Hiroshima University Hospital. I saw that all our instructors at the hospital enthusiastically devoted themselves to their work. I am sure that this training will be an interesting and meaningful experience for other young doctors.

◆ During the HICARE training, I was able to acquire a range of knowledge concerning radiation. I had accumulated knowledge of some aspects of radiation disorders but I was able to learn much new information beyond my expectations through this training. What I have learned in this training will be helpful in developing measures to prevent radiation exposure. I will communicate the knowledge and technologies that I have learned in the training to people as many as possible.
