Background

Studying abroad and living in a foreign country can help you to understand various cultural differences, which help you to broaden your perspective and understand others. We believe that this experience will be very useful for medical students in becoming physicians and in working as physicians for the rest of their lives. Through this initiative, we aim to increase the number of medical students who take up the challenge of studying abroad in six years.

To enable medical students at Okayama University to learn more through study abroad and overseas experiences throughout their six years of study. It also creates opportunities in Japan to engage with people from overseas through online and other means, and provide opportunities for medical students to learn.
