Abstract:
We four medical students (one in the 2nd year and three in the 3rd year) visited Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia for 2 weeks during spring vacation. We audited classes to study differences in medical education and visited the hospital to observe common medical practices in the United States. Because of this experience, we started to rethink medical care in Japan as well as our future commitment to medicine.
