Abstract: MENTORSHIP AND GROWTH: REFLECTIONS FROM THE ASIAN MEDICAL STUDENTS’ ASSOCIATION COMPETITION IN JAPAN:Participating as a supervisor in the Asian Medical Students’ Association (AMSA) Competition in Japan was both enlightening and enriching. This prestigious event, which aimed to enhance medical students’ academic knowledge, cultural understanding and interpersonal skills, provided me with the opportunity to mentor aspiring professionals and reflect on my development as an educator. The AMSA Conference and Competition, held from 21 to 27 July 2024 at the International University of Health and Welfare’s Narita and Tokyo campuses, focused on the theme of ‘Disaster Medicine’. AMSC 2024 offered medical students a platform to explore disaster medicine, fostered international collaboration and idea exchange and highlighted the need for disaster preparedness and global health cooperation among future healthcare leaders.
