During his lecture, Dr. Niitsu his experience as a student in the Bachelor nurse at UNMC and discussed the differences in nursing training between Japan and the USA. “It was an enormous honor for me to speak to Hama-Med as a UNMC alumnus and to talk about the fact that my experience is a nurse in the United States,” said Dr. Niitsu.
