Hiroshi Nishiura, MD, PhD, Professor of Infectious Disease Epidemiology

【Subjects taught】
・Occupational and Environmental Health Sciences

【Emphases in class】
– Always, the last lecture was wrapped up in the beginning of the following lecture.
– Importance of in-class review was emphasized, answering a few multiple choice questions at the end of each lecture.
– Pretended that I enjoy everyday (regardless of the truth?). Otherwise, you won’t aim to become professor like me.

【Messages to the students】
Thank you very much indeed for nominating me to be the best teacher. While working extremely hard to respond to the novel coronavirus disease pandemic (COVID-19), it was the first week of Kyodai to have conducted the very first concentrated lecture series of infectious disease epidemiology. It was very encouraging to find so many students and researchers attending my lecture, and you must have seen that basic theories and principles can be immediately applied to COVID-19 control issues.
