Joint Company Information Sessions

Toyoshinkyu hosts joint company information sessions targeted primarily to third year students. We invite working alumni and hiring managers to these sessions, where students can learn practical, work related information. This includes information about the general environment and industry trends of anma/massage/shiatsu, acupuncture, and moxibustion, as well as information on what kind of person hiring locations are seeking.

Career Surveys and Individual Career Interviews

Toyoshinkyu regularly performs career surveys and individual career interviews with the goal of providing career and employment support tailored to each individual student. Specifically, students in their last year before graduation complete career survey forms and those students who indicate interest have an individual career interview with career guidance staff, following which Toyoshinkyu provides career and job information believed to be the best match for the individual student’s future.

Seminar to Support the Opening of Private Practices

Toyoshinkyu hosts free-of-charge seminars to support the opening of private practices at regular intervals multiple times a year for students who want to open their own practices, either immediately after graduation or in the future. Seminar speakers are professionals in their respective fields, people with entrepreneurial and business knowledge in fields other than medicine. They present the basic knowledge and know-how for opening a private practice. There is a question-and-answer session following the presentations, with students eagerly asking questions for as long as time allows. Seminar topics include funding, legal matters, real estate, interior design, marketing, infrastructure development, equipment and instruments, and sales related activities. Students who start attending these seminars in their first year can absorb a great deal of information by their third year.

Contents of Previous Support Seminars

Toyoshinkyu has made it possible for alumni to use the treatment space inside the clinic owned by our educational foundation. This space is available to graduates who are aiming to open their own private practice in the future, as well as to practitioners who currently do not have their own clinics. Toyoshinkyu will continue to do whatever it can to contribute to the development of the world of acupuncture, moxibustion, and anma/massage/shiatsu.

Post-Graduation Training Program

Toyoshinkyu provides a post-graduation training program at our clinical facility.

< Details of Post-Graduation Education >
1. The objective of post-graduation training is for a trainee to become able to appropriately assess a patient and provide proper treatment, once the trainee has excluded those cases where acupuncture, moxibustion, and/or anma/massage/shiatsu are contraindicated or inappropriate.
2. Once training reaches its final stages, the objective is for a trainee to be the sole person who provides treatment for an incoming patient on a regular basis. At this stage, the trainee is able to apply the knowledge and skills they have acquired to that point.
3. Post-graduation education proceeds in stages in order to achieve these objectives. Each stage contains multiple training categories, which trainees complete in order.
4. A class where student numbers are kept low is taught three or four times a month by an instructor with a wealth of clinical experience. These classes focus on practical technique.
5. Trainees can participate (voluntarily) in the special lectures and special classes (extracurricular classes) offered to currently enrolled Toyoshinkyu students.

Skill Development Seminar (for Graduates and Current Students)

Oriental medicine contains many methods of diagnosis. In this seminar, instructors from outside Toyoshinkyu are invited to give lectures and demonstrate techniques. This is a chance to learn diagnostic methods from practicing clinicians. We hope you can attend!
