This year’s program was co-organized with Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) Thailand office as the Partnership Project for Global Health and Universal Health Coverage (GLO+UHC).

In addition, Mr. Michael P. Sy, participant in the 2013 IPE Training Course and Visiting Professor of Angeles University Foundation, delivered an online lecture from the Philippines. On the other hand, three Japanese experts shared their expertise with the participants. They were Prof. Sonoe Mashino, Director of WHO CC for Disaster Risk Management for Health, University of Hyogo, and Prof. Ikuko Sakai, Director of Interprofessional Education Research Center, Chiba University, and Prof. Hitoshi Sohma, Director of Center for Medical Education, Sapporo Medical University. The latter two universities are members of the JIPWEN universities. In addition, through lectures and workshops, faculty/staff members of Gunma University and Gunma University Hospital shared as much information as they could with participants from the global and local perspectives. In the latter half of the training course, participants made action plans on the basis of the situation analysis by using Toolkit and presented them on the final day. They are to introduce or improve their IPE programs at respective countries according to their action plans, and we are to provide appropriate support by monitoring their progress.
