In October of 2005, the Japan Society of Extra-Corporeal Technology in Medicine (JaSECT) changed from a research association to a medical society. Established in February of 1976 in our previous incarnation as the Japan Society of Extracorporeal Circulation Technology (JaSECT), mainly as an academic society for health care professionals involved with extracorporeal circulation, with goals of the advancement and promulgation of research related to extracorporeal circulation technology, and through this to improve academic and other contributions to the progress and development of medical care. The purpose of our activities remains unchanged, despite the change of name, aiming to be involved in more types of occupations and for a higher level of academic activity.
Our main activities are the academic conference for all of Japan and the education seminar for the purpose of lifelong education; two major undertakings that are each held annually. In addition, we publish a quarterly journal, and we conduct various studies and make recommendations on safety measures. Japan is divided into nine regions, with each region having a regional society which conducts various activities.
We currently have 1,751 members (1,700 full members, 7 advisory members, 20 special members and 24 companies as supporting members (as of 9 July 2009)), and a broad range of people directly involved in extracorporeal circulation are members of the society, from clinical engineers, doctors and nurses to manufacturer’s engineers engaged in research and development.
We invite anyone who is interested to join. You will be most welcome.
