Abstract:
Most medical interns in Japan start working in a specific department at their medical school after graduation and are trained without experiencing medical practices in other departments. At the United States Naval Hospital in Okinawa, Japan, the postgraduate medical training program includes various disciplines in several departments. To emphasize the importance of primary care and to improve the postgraduate medical education system, I propose that practical experience in general medicine be required.
