2018-2020 Satoko and Richard Ingram McGill Surgical Education Scholarship
倉敷成人病センター婦人科の羽田智則（はだ とものり）先生に決まりました
|
皆さまこんにちは。婦人科腹腔鏡下手術のメッカである倉敷成人病センターに2007年から約11年勤務し、腹腔鏡下手術の研鑽をしてきました。私はラッキーにもよい師匠に巡り合い、多くの技術と知識を直接指導頂けましたが、多くの医師がそのような環境に巡り合うことはありません。そしていざ自分が若手に指導する立場になって、モチベーションを維持させながら体系的に、分かりやすく、技術が向上していく教育はどうあればいいのかと悩みました。倉島先生との出会いから外科教育研究会に参加し、渡邊先生含め多くの先生方から刺激を頂き、教育について考え・実践していく中で、今回McGill大学で外科教育研究に携わるチャンスを頂きました。腹腔鏡下手術は常に技術開発と共に進歩していますが、それに伴って教育も常に進んでいくものと感じています。手術には知識だけでなく、技術が必要で、技術の習得を目指す教育のあり方について学び、考えてきたいと思います。皆さまに何か還元できる日を目指して頑張ってきます。
