Trainee : MR HIDEAKI SHIMADA (Oita Univ)
Mentor : MR TATSUSHI TSUDA(Sumitomo Pharma Co.,Ltd.)

Thank you for being certified as SMD.
I have only been involved in drug development from the medical institution side, and I was worried about whether I would be able to hone my competency as Specialist in Medicines Development.
However, I was able to complete the SMD program by learning systematically in Public engagement expert C course and by learning and practicing how to view things from the perspective of development organizations in my current environment with advice from my mentor.
From now on, as SMD that connects development institutions, medical sites, and patients, I will strive to demonstrate the capabilities I have honed through Ji4pe.
I would like to thank Dr. Imamura, my mentor Mr. Tsuda, my advisor Ms. Takase, and everyone involved for their guidance and cooperation.
