Outline of Final Research Achievements

The main purpose of this research was to conduct a series of workshops on developing conference presentation skills for Japanese doctors, to publish related research, and extend this research to other universities/hospitals in East Asia. Over the duration of the research period I published 1 book, 5 research papers, conducted 10 Japan-based presentations/workshops, plus 11 foreign presentations in which this research was utilized. Given these achievements, I am more than satisfied that my research goal has been successful. I published 1 book and 5 peer-reviewed papers. Invited presentations or seminars at hospitals/medical conferences in Japan included those held in Toyota Hospital , Kyoto Univ. Hospital, Gunma Univ. Hospital, U. of Miyazaki Hospital, Himeji Red Cross Hospital, OBGY Spring Forum, Society for Reproduction/Development, Summer seminar on Endocrinology/Metabolism, and Japan Society for the Study of Obesity, plus upcoming invited seminars at Tokyo, Keio, and Azabu Univs.
