INTERNATIONAL  
SUMMERSCHOOL for
CLINICAL PERIODONTOLOGY & IMPLANTOLOGY 
HEIDELBERG

The Summer School for Clinical Periodontology and Implantology was held from the 30th of July to 10th August, at the Periodontology Section, at Heidelberg University. Finally we were 14 students with 9 different country. It's pity that one of participants drop out on the half way because of a unexpected accident.

Then, during this 2weeks, we had excellent lectures, hands-on-courses and memories with every participant (including Dr .Dr. Kim and her team).

By the way, because this was the first time visiting Europe for me , I made a big mistake in Heidelberg. I arrived in Heidelberg one day before the summerschool, tried to confirm where Heidelberg university is and went to the direction of Heidelberg university. At the time, I thought the summerschool would be held in Heidelberg university (actually the summerschool would be held in a hospital). When I arrived in Heidelberg university, I noticed my mistake and hurried to get back to my hotel and asked them like this "where is Heidelberg hospital???" Fortunately, the hospital is near my hotel ( It takes 20min by bus.). I should have looked up the way on the internet more.

And then, when the course started, I was a little nervous. I was the only a participant from Japan and probably the first Japanese participant for this summerschool. But I didn't need to worry about such things. All participants are kind, gentle, friendly to each other. Almost every day we had a dinner together and talking many things about ourselves, which was very interesting to me and was my precious memory.

After coming back to my country, I will tell my friends about what I learned from this summer school and recommend them to go.

Although I didn’t write about lectures or contents, needless to say all of them are super excellent. Probably, some of us explain about contents precisely in this final report.

Finally, all what I want to say is “Astonishing”!! I will never forget all in Heidelberg.
