14年間の長きにわたって当科の診療・研究に多大な貢献をしてくれた言語聴覚士の高岩亜輝子さんが、このたび本年9月1日より十文字学園女子大学・児童教育学科に准教授として赴任することになりました。残暑厳しいお盆の最中、8月14日（月）富山電気ビルにて送別会を開催させていただきました。終始、和気藹々とした実に楽しい会でした。高岩さんの業績を以下に記します。これからも研究者、教育者として頑張って下さい！
Farewell Party for Ms. Akiko Takaiwa
Ms. Akiko Takaiwa has worked as a speech therapist at Toyama University Hospital for these 14 years. She has contributed to progress our research projects on cognitive function in neurosurgical disorders. Now, she will be an Assistant Professor at Jumonji University, Saitama this September. We are sure that she will further advance her career as an educator and researcher.
