Each student who studied abroad through their research lab or the Center for Medical Education and Internationalization introduced their study abroad destination and spoke about what they gained and did not get out of their study abroad experience and their thoughts on their future careers. During the Q&A session, there were various questions about the Tobitate scholarship, how to find accommodation, and whether there was any discrimination in the local area. A student from Kaohsiung Medical University in Taiwan studying abroad for clinical training joined in to talk about studying abroad in Japan. At the end, the presenters came down to the floor to directly interact with the participants and exchange information. We would like to thank Kim Minsoo Sensei for her chairpersonship, all the presenters who prepared during major exams such as CBT and OSCE, and all the teachers and students who came to listen.
