Message to Students
I am a physician specializing in psychosomatic medicine, and so interested in mind/body connection of human and biopsychosocial model of health. Behavioral medicine is one of best areas to understand physical, psychological and behavioral aspects of health and disease totally. I would like to continue my work with colleagues who have such broad insights including clinical, preventive, and social medicine.
