We create opportunities to learn clinical skills and an environment for continued learning.
ASTE LAB supports medical education and its application in practice.
We believe that each physician’s growth helps patients feel confident in the care they receive.
01 / OUR PURPOSE
To provide patients with skilled care they can trust, physicians need a deep understanding of clinical knowledge and techniques, opportunities for repeated practice, and the ability to keep learning.
ASTE LAB focuses on both educational content and the environment in which it is delivered. Through course operations, learning materials, and tools and systems for practical training, we work to build a foundation that connects learning with clinical practice.
We aim to help educational initiatives developed in Japan contribute to healthcare around the world, working alongside physicians, educators, and partner institutions.
02 / OUR FOCUS
Our current focus is operating IAFS and creating an environment that supports learning for healthcare professionals. We plan to expand our work into learning materials, educational content, and training models.
We support courses and practical learning programs by assisting participants, arranging venues and training equipment, coordinating with stakeholders, and managing the secretariat.
We aim to develop materials that help learners understand and review knowledge and techniques step by step. We are exploring videos, web content, and publications as ways to support continued learning.
To support hands-on learning, repetition, and deeper understanding, we plan to design and develop training models and practical learning materials for healthcare professionals.
03 / EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVE
The International Academy of Facial Surgery (IAFS) is an educational academy for facial surgery co-founded by Yorikatsu Watanabe and Shoichi Imai. Its education and operations leads work together to support practical learning in small groups.
As the company operating IAFS, ASTE LAB creates an environment where participants can focus on learning and supports the academy’s ongoing operations.
