Abstract:
We stayed at Jefferson medical College for two weeks to observe what was going on in American medical schools and hospitals.
What a marvelous experience it was! Since we have only completed basic sciences (two of us are in the 3 rd year and the other is in the 4 th year of Teikyo University School of Medicine in Tokyo), we did not understand clinical things well. Nevertheless, we were able to learn a great many things. In the hospital we were treated as though we were professional doctors and this, indeed, is the difference between the American and Japanese systems. American medical students are not only trusted and respected but make efforts to prove themselves worthy of others' trust. We were deeply impressed.
