MARCO, MEXICO

I'm thankful for the opportunity they gave me to be part of the clinical observership. In my country is rarely able to watch or be taught as a student using the newest diagnostic and therapeutic equipment the Juntendo University have. It helped me out to wide-open my vision and realize that my country has areas of opportunities must improve. I also was able to see the most respectful and kindest ways to talk, interact, and treat the patients from nurses to doctors. Much to learn and think about to improve my country's medical environment.

EDUARDO, BRAZIL

Juntendo University Hospital offers state-of-the-art technology in terms of patient assistance, surgical procedures, monitoring and drugs. Knowing to speak in Japanese your self presentation in a simple way, is advisable as you may be required to do that in every medical conference of the hospital and even when you are presented to other colleagues. As the Observership Program is basically to observe and to exchange informations with Juntendo's doctors and other professionals, the candidate should consider that longer periods of training (e.g. more than 4 weeks) could not be so useful.

A fantastic and very memorable experience at Juntendo University. Everyone was exceedingly kind, welcoming, and made sure to integrate the international students within the respective department. The faculty/students went out of their way to help with translations and guidance whenever possible. The exposure to novel pathology as well as cutting edge research was truly unique.

I had a great time during my Clinical Observership at Juntendo University. The range of different pathologies observed during my time here helped to develop my knowledge of neurosurgery in a clinical-diagnostic context. I had the opportunity to deepen my knowledge about imaging techniques as well as clinically relevant topographic relations in the context of the execution of surgical interventions. Furthermore, I had to the chance to discuss healthcare with faculty members as well as meet many international students.

Thank you so much for the most amazing time Juntendo! I saw so many interesting things in the hospital. The observership also gave me the chance to meet people from all over the world, which resulted in some really good friendships. Last but not least, the people from JUIC are amazing. They will help you with literally anything and seem to really care about all the clinical observers. They even helped me to arrange a very good training schedule for Judo, so I could combine my 2 passions: doing Judo at a very high level and studying to become a good future doctor.

In the 4 weeks I spent at Juntendo University I had impressive insights in Japanese medicine, but also in the culture and the language. In the department all the physicians were highly motivated in teaching me subject content, but also having great and inspiring discussions about the differences in our systems. The offered healthcare seminars from the university enhanced this discussions with a greater count of people from all over the world. I will definitely carry and share my experiences for the rest of my life and would recommend anybody to apply at Juntendo and experience Japan.

I am glad to choose Juntendo's Clinical Observership program because I enjoyed it a lot and it was beyond my expectation. The doctors didn't put me in any pressure yet I learned so many new things and got many knowledge in the departments.

I wish some day I could experience it again!

The Juntendo University Clinical Observership Program was extremely enriching as I was able to see many unique cases in the Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine Department which are hard to come by back in Singapore. The doctors and students were also very welcoming and always took the initiative to help translate discussions and ensured that I was well taken care of during my stay. Through the program, I was able to make good friends with both Juntendo University and international medical students which made the experience especially unforgettable and one that I highly recommend to future International Observers!

I am very happy to choose this program as part of my internship. It satisfied all my expectations and even overcame them. The language was not an obstacle to learn, the professor tried his best to teach me. I had the opportunity to see a lot of procedures that I wasn't been able to see before in my country. If I have the opportunity to do another observership, I will choose again Juntendo University Hospital, since you enter the front everyone smiles to you and will help you if you need it.

ELLA, AUSTRALIA

The decision to apply to Juntendo University came at the recommendation of a friend - he had nothing but praise for the staff, and thoroughly enjoyed his time here. Now, I`m recommending Juntendo to all my friends! The doctors were kind, welcoming, and incredibly willing to teach. I saw a lot of advanced anaesthetic techniques, and unearthed quite a few clinical pearls I hope to take into my future practice. If you are considering whether or not do apply, just do it!

CHIA-HUNG, TAIWAN

I am very glad to participate in clinical observership program at Juntendo University. People here are friendly and polite. During these four weeks, I learned not only medical knowledge but also Japanese lifestyle and culture. I was very lucky to study with Japanese students in both departments which I selected. They helped me a lot in the hospital and even took me to the city tour. We had a lot of chats, which helped me understand Japan much more. Besides, international center provided some activities for us. I liked ”get-together” very much, it was a great opportunity to meet medical students from other countries. I really appreciated Juntendo University provided me such a wonderful program. It was a great experience for me.

SHEN, SINGAPORE

During my period of electives in the Respiratory department, I was granted the opportunity to visit and observe various procedures ranging from bronchoscopy to ultrasound guided pleural drainage. In each of these procedures I was greeted with warm and knowledgeable doctors that welcomed me into their rooms with open arms. I was able to learn a lot on how each procedure was done and was given the chance to try out some of the equipment! During conferences and tutorials/lectures, the doctors were all very kind and taught me a lot based on their area of expertise. You would not regret a posting over in the respiratory department in Juntendo, it is where you will learn about lung cancer, interstitial lung disease. It is also where you will feel part of the respiratory department as they really treat you as part of their one big family, really enjoyed my elective in their department with so many smiling faces greeting me every morning when I turn up to the hospital.

GERRIT, GERMANY

I liked the program a lot because on the one hand we had the possibility to gain clinical experiences at the department and on the other hand we were given the opportunity to attend different courses with the other international students in which we learned more about the Japanese language and culture or different health care and medical education systems in various countries around the world.

EDOARDO, ITALY

The observership is a really good experience as an eye opener which encourages self improvement. Their culture focuses on teamwork and unity which I find admirable.

IBRAHIM, SAUDI ARABIA

Great environment, helpful doctors, always try their best to explain to you about different disease and different approaches. It is a good idea to read about the disease when you go back. Also Keeping a professional attitude towards the doctors and patients is a must.

MARIA, COLUMBIA

I think the program is really worth it. It's really interesting to see the difference between medical practice in your country and medical practice in Japan. Besides, I think Japanese medicine is really advanced in most of the medical areas and Japanese doctors have incredible skills. I saw a lot of procedures I had never seen before and don't even knew they existed. The hospital has everything and procedures are in all the departments really advanced. Apart from the medical aspect of it, it's also really interesting to learn from Japanese culture. And Tokyo is the best city ever.
