Mission

当法人は、献体を使ったサージカル・トレーニング(医療技術、手術手技習得のためのトレーニング)を日本国内で外科医がいつでも受けられるようなシステムを構築し、また医療技術の研究・開発にも献体が使えるようにするためには、法整備と国民のコンセンサスが必要不可欠であると考え、国に働きかけをし、国民に必要性を知ってもらう啓発活動を行ってきました。その後「臨床医学の教育及び研究における死体解剖のガイドライン」が2012年6月に日本外科学会と日本解剖学会の連名で公表され、また厚生労働省は平成24年度から委託事業として「実践的な手術手技向上研修事業実施団体」の公募を開始しました。これらのことより現在医学部を有する数大学で、献体を使ったサージカル・トレーニングが行われています。  当法人は大学解剖学教室及び関係教室・講座のご理解とご協力のもと、外科医が献体を使ってのサージカル・トレーニングを行うセミナーの運営を補助することにより、安全・安心な医療の普及に貢献したいと考え活動を行っています。  これまでに開催したセミナー及び公開講座は以下のとおりです。 詳しくは下記メリジャパンホームページをご覧ください。    URL https://www.merijapan.org ●開催セミナー(※印共催、その他すべて実施補助) ◇ 2014年度~2024年度  整形外科 59回(脊椎固定 THA 肩関節鏡 関節鏡 等)  消化器外科 2回  口腔外科 16回(口腔内腫瘍 気管切開 インプラント 等)   耳鼻咽喉科 8回(内視鏡下副鼻腔手術 等) 講師:計391名 参加者(医師・歯科医師):計729名(看護師)57名 ※直接介助習得   見学者(医師):302名 ◇2025年度 ①第4回日本股関節学会骨切りセミナー    2025/4/5,6 参加者:12名 見学:17名  (主催)名古屋市立大学医学部整形外科学  (共催)一般社団法人 日本股関節学会 ②UBE Cadaver Surgical Training   2025/5/10 参加者:9名  (主催)名古屋市立大学医学部整形外科学講座  (共催)日本UBE・BESS研究会 ③インプラントの治療手技確認のためのサージカルトレーニング   2025/5/15 参加者:11名 見学:2名  (主催)名古屋市立大学医学部口腔外科学 ④第3回名古屋市立大学内視鏡下経鼻頭蓋底手術センターCadaver Surgical Training Course   2025/8/23,24 参加者:8名 見学:32名   (主催)名古屋市立大学大学院医学研究科耳鼻咽喉・頭頸部外科、脳神経外科   (共催)名古屋市立大学医学部附属東部医療センター “声と鼻のセンター” 名市大内視鏡下経鼻頭蓋底手術センター ⑤第20回 日本口腔外科学会キャダバーサージカルトレーニング   2025/8/23,24 参加者:4名 見学:18名   (主催)名古屋市立大学大学院医学研究科 生体機能・構造医学専攻 感覚器・形成医学講座 口腔外科学分野   (共催)公益社団法人 日本口腔外科学会 ⑥第4回日本人工関節学会サージカルトレーニングカダバーセミナー   2025/9/13,14 参加者:8名 見学者:19名   (主催)札幌医大医学部整形外科学講座   (共催)日本人工関節学会教育研修委員会 ⑦第21回 日本口腔外科学会キャダバー サージカルトレーニング   2025/10/11,12 参加者:7名 見学者:14名   (主催)北海道公立大学法人 札幌医科大学医学部口腔外科学講座   (共催)公益社団法人 日本口腔外科学会 ⑧2nd Nagoya Laryngology Workshop   2025/11/15,16 参加者:14名 見学者:12名   (主催)名古屋市立大学大学院医学研究科耳鼻咽喉科・頭頸部外科 ⑨第9回日本肩関節学会キャダバーワークショップ   2025/11/22,23 参加者:12名   (主催)名古屋市立大学大学院医学研究科整形外科   (共催)一般社団法人日本肩関節学会 ⑩膝周囲骨切り術の安全性および有効性向上を目的とした研修   2025/12/19,20 参加者:9名 見学者:3名   (主催)名古屋市立大学大学院医学研究科整形外科 ⑪第8回名古屋市立大学内視鏡下鼻内副鼻腔手術外科教育トレーニングコース   2026/1/31,2/1 参加者:9名 見学者:33名   (主催)名古屋市立大学医学附属東部医療センター 耳鼻咽喉科・声と鼻のセンター   (共催)名古屋市立大学医
