Day 13: Today was the last day of classes and we went to Komaba campus which was an hour away from our hotel. Naosuke brought us there and we had our last lecture for the program. Afterwards, we got to enjoy a wonderful lab tour where we got to wear a full on clean suit and actually entered a clean room of class 1000! Although we all looked like Teletubbies, the lab tour was something I'd never get to do ever again and was one of the most interesting tours so far.
Day 14: Today we went to tour Terumo Corporation Pranex. There we got to see all the medical facilities and training rooms as well as try out their latest products. Some of the things we got to do was practice using catheters on dummies and using the x-ray to navigate through the blood vessels which was one of the most amazing things I've seen so far.
Later that day, we also got to tour Meiji Seika's factory. There we got to look at the production of pharmaceutical drugs beginning from the boxed ingredients all the way to the boxing and shipping. Mostly everything there was automated and it was nice getting to know how all the drugs are made. At the end, we also received a goody bag filled with Meiji candy and snacks which made the trip even more special.
