History
Kitasato University is a comprehensive life science university that inherited the will of Shibasaburo Kitasato, the founder of preventive medicine. Shibasaburo Kitasato preached his students from the beginning of 1914, when the Kitasato Institute, the predecessor of the Institute, was founded, along with the founding spirit of "pioneering," "thankfulness," "wisdom andpractice," and "tenacity." The School of Nursing was established in 1986 and explores the way nursing should be based on the frontier spirit unique to Kitasato University. In addition to nursing science, we approach the fields of other faculties such as medicine, animals and plants, and basic research, and practice education and research in line with the "practical science that helps people" once embodied by Shibasaburo Kitasato. -
