![“I was active as an acupuncturist after graduating from a medical university. Outside of work, a friend introduced me to e-sports competitions which left a big impression on me. This got me thinking that perhaps I could do something with my expertise to get involved with e-sports, and after studying physical care and management of athletes in graduate school I decided to enroll in KMD to further advance my research.”
“I am currently balancing working as a practitioner at a university-affiliated acupuncture clinic and a lecturer at an e-sports vocational school with my research on healthcare management in e-sports. Academic research on the field of e-sports is still in its infancy, so I am researching comprehensive management models with the goal of contributing to the healthy development of the industry.”
“[KMD is] a place that encourages you to do what you want to do. For example, I have no knowledge of engineering, but here I have classmates and project members from various areas of expertise who will do their best to support me and, if our goals are compatible, we can work together on research. The teachers encourage us to collaborate with outside companies when necessary, which is a great way to keep advancing your own research.”
“Once you enter KMD, be prepared for your idea of common sense and what is “normal” to be thrown completely out of the window [laughs]. Considering risks, delivering appropriate interventions to patients, and maximizing results under various constraints was the norm for me in the medical world. But that was only one facet of medical care, and encountering a group of people with such diverse perspectives upends conventional wisdom. KMD is full of people who enjoy that kind of paradigm shift. That, for me, is the most valuable element of my learning at KMD.”
