This yearÕs Aozora seminar, the 4th one following the 1st Seto, 2nd Tokyo and 3rd Osaka seminars, will take place at the same venue as the 2nd seminar, Tokyo Komaba Eminence. In the past seminars, there were presentations by guest speakers from overseas on educational systems of their respective countries and topics related to each seminar theme, messages from senior members based on their long years of experience and opinion exchanges among young participants, leading to stronger aspirations for orthodontic excellence.
The number of repeat junior participants has grown over the years with greater initiative taken by young leaders. The last yearÕs seminar was attended by a group of young orthodontists from Taiwan. The participants were stimulated by their outstanding presentations and fluency in English.
The Aozora Seminar began as a forum aimed at bringing together young orthodontists across different universities, study groups and countries to promote friendship, share concerns and exchange opinions by spending a couple of days and nights together under the same roof. The seminar has been steadily growing while realizing its dreams. There will be a great program that will meet your expectations in this yearÕs seminar as well.
Please visit the web site of the Aozora Nakanuki Study Group for further details.

Friendship and Cultural Exchange in Orthodontics: Our Passwords
The Aozora Seminar is a training camp for 3 days and 2 nights where young orthodontists from not only Japan but the Asia Pacific region bring cases for group and plenary sessions and thereby enhance friendship. There are also opportunities to talk with the senior orthodontists who are the founders of the seminar and invited lecturers from the Asia Pacific region.
Healthcare issues are often specific to individual patients and localities. The incorporation of global perspectives when addressing these issues would allow for safer and higher quality patient care. It is for this objective that the Aozora Seminar has been active in promoting friendship and cultural exchanges among young orthodontic practitioners.
