Greetings from the school principal
We are waiting for you who are forward-looking and aim to become rehabilitation medicine specialists.
In order to become a specialist in rehabilitation medicine, it is necessary to ask questions such as, "What should I learn?", "What skills should I acquire and improve my skills?" How can I support them?”, while trying to develop individuals who aim to advance and improve themselves as advanced specialists in rehabilitation medicine.
Under the guidance of our enthusiastic staff at Rehabilitation College Shimane, let's begin a meaningful and fulfilling four-year school life.
Principal Yasuro Yoshimura
Greetings from Mayor Hamada
We support everyone studying at Rehabilitation College Shimane
Since its opening in April 1998, Rehabilitation College Shimane not only trains physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists who will play an important role in the aging society, but also provides health promotion courses for residents. Through local activities such as seminars for junior high and high school students, we have made a great contribution to the local Hamada city.
In order to create a "lively Hamada", Hamada City has set seven town development guidelines in its comprehensive promotion plan, one of which is "a town where people can live healthy and lively". We believe that the elderly need a lot of support in order to live a healthy and active life in their familiar surroundings, and that rehabilitation medicine plays a very important role.
After spending a fulfilling student life in Hamada, a safe and secure town surrounded by abundant nature, I hope that you will make use of the advanced specialized knowledge and skills that you have acquired during your studies here in Hamada City. We hope that you will demonstrate your youthful power.
Hamada City will support all of you who study at Rehabilitation College Shimane.
Hamada Mayor Akiichi Kubota
