Campus visit with Delegation from NSSU, Japan On August 30, 2024, UMBC had the honor of hosting a delegation from Nippon Sport Science University (NSSU) from Japan as part of a dynamic exchange of ideas and best practices in emergency medical systems (EMS). The delegation, led by Dr. Keisuke Suzuki and accompanied by Mr. Kyohei Kodama and undergraduate paramedic students, engaged in productive discussions with UMBC’s Department of Emergency & Disaster Health Systems (EDHS) and the Center for Global Engagement (CGE).

Key highlights of the day included:

  • Exploring future opportunities such as the development of exchange programs and joint research initiatives.
  • A tour of UMBC’s campus and meetings with leaders of the English Language Institute (ELI) and Special Programs. We also explored future learning opportunities, including specialized short-term English programs for medical professionals.

This visit represents a meaningful step toward fostering global partnerships that will have a lasting impact on EMS education and healthcare systems. We are excited about the potential for collaboration with NSSU and look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead!
