I enjoyed everything today. The bus ride was interesting and good cultural learning experience. The rehab pool and Jacuzzi were best!  I really loved the aspect of preventive medicine here at smile center. The massage chairs were very comfortable; the lunch was unique and delicious. The house visits were my first time. Please have next years JABSON students experience smile clinic too. Thank you for a wonderful experience!!

 I was very impressed by facilities here and the overall concept of this clinic. The Idea of practicing and implementing forms of preventive medicine is being accomplished here in ways in which I feel is ideal but never thought possible, learning and actually seeing and experiencing this was great for me.
 I would love to be able to bring back some of these ideas back home, because I feel that preventive medicine is an important aspect of health that is often overlooked back home.
 Overall, I enjoyed seeing the community, using the facilities, and eating the food.

 I really enjoyed seeing the whole relationship of this clinic within the community. It showed how the community trusts this clinic because they all come together nicely.
 I also really was impressed with the preventive medicine at this clinic. So few places actually place any real focus on prevention of disease and health maintenance, that I was very surprised to find such a good program in a rural clinic!  This should be a model for other cities.  I am also happy that we were allowed to try the swimming pool & spa which were very relaxing. I am glad we were able to see how much of the area this clinic serves.
 This was the first home visit I ever made so it was different for me to observe. I think the idea of providing health care to those who need it at home is a wonderful idea & it was nice to see that it can actually be implemented. Thank you for the delicious lunch too.
 If anything could be improved perhaps we could do a little more physical exams with the patients.

 Today was a day of potentials. I saw what could be possible when dreams are put into action and needs or the people are met in relevant, tangibles ways. I am grateful, Shirahama sensei, for the discussion about your views on medical education and the importance of training primary care doctors in primary care settings.
 I was very impressed with the clinic and Health & Wellness Center. That was a comprehensive approach to health Care & an appropriate model for dealing with an aging population and chronic disease management. We all valued the efforts of you and the staff to preventive health into your work here at the clinic.
 I enjoyed the lunch, the exercise in the spa pools and the home visits as well. Although I have many more years of medical education to complete, I was impressed by things I saw today. Thank you for having this vision and working to see it through every day.
 Arigato also for giving us such a variety of experiences today. I see your faith shining through your work.
