This video was so interesting, I have always been interested about knowing how medical system works in Japan ! Is there any chance you make this a series? I’d love to hear about possibilities for foreign doctors in Japan, residency, master degrees, PhD, fellowships, etc. Thank you for this! P.s.: Medical student from Brazil here
@@Onomappu Wow, the connection between Brazil and Japan is real! The Japanese immigration in Brazil is pretty strong too. If you google "Bairro da Liberdade", which is a neighborhood in São Paulo, maybe you'll be surprised. The streets are all set up in Japanese style and there are tons of Japanese people and descendents!
Também sou outro que penso nas possibilidades de atuar como médico estrangeiro no Japão. Deve ser uma experiência incrível! Ah, e sobre pesquisas de mestrado e doutorado, você pode pesquisar sobre as bolsas do Mext. Podem ser úteis pra você!
Onomappu-san meccha sugoi! I find it hard to believe that you're able manage your time and do what you like, amidst the intense academic load. From watching your videos, I keep being amazed on how talented you are! - Able to speak Chinese, Japanese and English. - Regularly uploads TH-cam videos with great content. - Has a healthy social life, played the violin, and did tutoring work. I can only see the surface, but you must have worked really hard to come this far! I keep thinking to myself: "Ah, this is the type of person I want to become." I'm trying to learn Japanese and your channel is a really great help. Thank you for being an inspiration. I'll try my best to be atleast half as awesome as you are! Arigatou, Onomappu-san!
I am totally surprised that in Japan people are open to start medicine in their 50s. That kind of thing is common in Brazil. I thought that the japanese thought about university as something for young people.
Japanese doctors education seems to vary a lot from the German way. I've some friends in medical school who told me they start with dissection of corpses in an early stage their curriculum and learn to separate all the tissues and organs in practice - anatomy is already taught at the beginning. Also they have to do 90 days of nursing, too.
Fascinating. In another of your videos it seemed you were a medical student. It’s great that a keen communicator and caring person like you is going into this field.
In The Netherlands it is also 6 year. When I was studying (Dutch literature) I had a friend who was studying at medical school. At one point, I secretly attended one class with him. I believe it was about the way viruses reproduce themselves, but I did not understand much about it at the time, as it was in the middle of the course and there were a lot of weird words and unknown concepts. (It’s an interesting topic now, though.) I don’t think I was allowed to be in that class room, but it was a very large classroom so no-one noticed 😅 That’s my closest to being a doctor, now I only have Wikipedia.
7:56 OMG I can relate with how excited and good you feel when you use a stetoscope for the first time. It's also intersting how you start with phisiology along with parasitology in 3rd year. For example in my former Uni we had physiology since 2nd year, and anatomy in 1st year but divided in semesters.
I'm a first year medical student in Germany and it was very interesting to watch your video, since I'm like to learning Japanese rn and if I'll get good enough, then I'd like go to Japan for 4 months of clinical rotation in the 6th (last) year of medical science studies. だからありがとうございました! We have nationwide stateexams after 2nd, 5th and 6th year of studying medicine. The first one after two years covers chemistry, biology, physiology, biochemistry, anatomy, histology, medical psychology and medical sociology. Afterwards you're not "pre-clinical" anymore meaning learning how the healthy body works, but instead "clinical", so then you have 3,5 more years of learning each discipline of medical science in aspect of sicknesses. Afterwards there's 1 year spent totally at a hospital to get practical experience and then after the final exam you're a finished doctor. The order of subjects is different at each uni but at my uni we had anatomy class with dissections in the first semester with the natural sciences and terminology. Anatomy was soo cool*-* Listening to you I think studying medicine in Japan is more exhausting. I mean sure we have to study as well and also have holiday courses, but we only study that hard in the weeks before the exams at the end of the semester and beforehand we're just watching the lectures and revising a big but not that as much work as it seems to be in Japan
Im so happy about comparing your experience as medical student in Japan with mine in Mexico! Also, you included the some substantives that I really needed to know in Japanese.
This was suuuuper interesting. It’s crazy that Japan also has a match system similar to the US’s match system into residency. I actually just went through the match and it was so stressful but very exciting!
I literally had my jaw dropped to the floor by just knowing that you are a medstud too 💀 I accidentally found ur channel bc I wanted to learn abt Japan more since I want to do short course there for student exchange program and I always enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the great work! You really inspire me to always do my best 😄 Greetings from 3rd yr medstud here 🇮🇩
Wow!! I hope your exam went well, and I'm praying that you get into a good hospital!! Thanks for making this video, 医学が超大変そうですね. I found this interesting, because my sister is in college to become a paramedic right now.
Awesome video! Looks like my medical education system is almost the same(Indonesia), but maybe with the difference in the subjects we learn in the first year and there is graduation thesis for us. Love the video! I would love to see how you study and how you manage your time in med school! Also, I like how you talk Japanese very slow, made me learn some new japanese words
How is it possible for you to still find time to relax, to meet up with friends, etc.? After hearing about your tight af schedule, I'm so impressed and also I think my respect for you just reached another scale 😂 すごいですよ。ひときさんは本当に時間を無駄にしないねと思っていました。I hope I can spend my time more wisely in the future, too. If I only spent half of my time doing the things you do (study, study, study), I would have graduated university one year ago and my Japanese level would be closer to N3, instead of barely N2 🤣 But well, you can always improve, right?
In India best medical college is AIIMS-Delhi it's really hard to get into that college....we have totally 16-17 lack aspirants who write exam to get into medical college.
In India🇮🇳 1)School study till class 12 2)passing NEET exam (with highest marks to get into a government medical college) 3)5.5 years MBBS(including internship) Now you're a general doctor 4) further steps are to become a super specialist doctor
I am a medstudent from Morocco and i speak 3 languages too haha! And i also tried to play the violin for some time but i gave up because it was way too hard, but our system here is so much different than yours! Good luck :)
hi! med student from Chile here, i'm in 4th year (out of 7) and so far i've had a really really similar experience in med school please tell more stories about med school in Japan, it's really fun to see how med schools are in different countries, loved this video and good luck on your exam Onomappu 💜💜
Your dissection was exactly the same as ours (USA), we also had donated cadaver bodies and 4 students to one body. Most of the time the head was covered with a cloth unless we had to do facial dissection. The worst thing was our body still had pink painted fingernails.. a reminder of the person it used to be.
Hello there👋🏻 Your topics are really interesting and relevant especially to those people who like to study Japanese. One of the easiest way to study Japanese language is to watch your video 🤍 You are so cute when you talk with your hand gestures over there. ☺️✨ 応援していまーす🙇🏼♀️🙇🏼♀️
wow, it really seems like a lot, I admire your dedication! I have a few friends who also study medicine and I'd say it's just as hard to get into uni here in Poland, but as far as I know they don't have so many classes everyday - still a ton of studying to do though! The worst part for me is that after graduating you still have such a long period of training that by the time you become a legit doctor you're 30yo:") but I guess it's necessary Anyways, keep up the good work!
Yeah when I become a doctor as a specialist, I’m already around 30 years old lol But seeing the situation in another way, I can take so much time to choose a specially which really suits me👍
I wanted to be a doctor so bad, but I'm not resilient enough. So I'm 25 years old and finishing my 2nd year in Environmental Engineering here in Brazil! I wanted to make a difference, but maybe it was ment to be for the Environment and not Medicine :)
About the clubs, when you enter one, are the members from different faculties or are they only med students? I know there are some universities where the faculty of medicine is separated from the other departments, so I was wondering if you had the chance the meet and befriend people from various faculties. Also, what kind of clubs are available? Love the video!
Wow! You're an amazing young fellow. Bright, talented, and diligent. :-) In the Philippines, it is about 10 years total - 4 years at a university, 4 years in medical school, 1 year internship, then the national exam.
It’s interesting to get insight into how the Japanese medical schools work. Thank you for sharing! In the UK the standard length of the course is 5 years before you become a doctor, 2 years working in mainly hospitals as a doctor (I suppose they’re called interns in other countries), then you go into specialist training. When do you find the time to do the extracurricular activities?!!! I’m curious; are the lectures held in English or Japanese, or a mixture of both?
Really amazing vedio that was. Please tell me international students applying for MEXT scholarship also had to pass enterance exam to take admiasion in medicine?
Its so interesting to see how everything works in Japan. Im 4th year in Med school in Bosnia. It lasts for 6 years too, but everything else is a lot different. First year we study anatomy, biology, chemistry and subjects like that. Until 4th year we focus on preclinical subjects. 4,5,6 years are clinical. After that we can work as doctor in primary health care or get specialisation (chirurgy, ginecology...). Failure is also higher and a lot of people fail one or two years, mostly because of anatomy.
Thank you very much it was very informative , I'm a final year medical student , in Algeria 🇩🇿 we study 7 years in medical school and our program for every year is almost the same as the one in Japan . In the 7th year we do a full year of medical Internship before graduation , I wonder if you do that too ?
I've really enjoyed your video. It's interesting how different med school is in our countries. I'm a neurologist in Brazil and med schools here generally follow this curriculum: 1st and 2nd grade are the basic biomedical sciences (anatomy, physiology, microbiology, biochemistry, biophysics, molecular biology, pathology...), 3rd and 4th grades are the basic medical theory (semiology, internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, ob/gyn, public health...) and, finally, 5th and 6th grades are the internship. Though the main practical activities are reserved to the internship, since the first semester we have activities with real patients. The classes are usually from 08:00 to 18:00 with a lunch break, but compared to the residence, med school I a dream.
Wow, i just started watching your videos, specially those about the japanese language, and i was really surprised you are a medical student as well! I just started my studies in medical school and i can relate in a lot of things, it's a bit similar here in Brazil XD
I'm 31 y/o working in IT in Japan for a few years, my Japanese is only conversational, started thinking about becoming a doctor, this video was very interesting to watch. I heard some negativity when it comes to practicing medicine in Japan as a foreigner, I wonder if you have any opinions regarding that
I’m a final year Medical Student in India. For us it’s 4 and 1/2 year plus and additional year of House sergeancy and maybe a year or half of rural posting. That makes it 6 year in total. We’re taught Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry in the first year. We were directly pushed into the Dissection Hall the day we joined. The second year we have Pathology, MicroBiology, Pharmacology and Forensic Medicine as main but they start teaching us all clinical subjects like medicine and surgery. We start getting posted at clinics this year and gets hands on training from this year to rest of the course. The third year we have ENT(otorhinolaryngology) , Ophthalmology and Community Medicine as the Main subjects. The final year is the most hectic with the remaining subjects like Internal Medicine, Surgery, OB & GYN , Pediatrics, Respiratory Medicine, Orthopaedics, Dermatology, Radiology and Psychiatry.
Im a Registered Nurse in the Philippines but now I'm currently studying Kaigofukushi (careworker) and the medical related subjects are really challenging 体のしくみ、認知症の教科、介護過程です。漢字とか日本語とか介護実習を難しいのに学びたいことを頑張ります。
Not in the medical field but I found the video interesting to watch (as are all of your videos!). It's truly a wonder you find the time to do all of these things with such a hectic schedule. And I'm selfishly hoping that you continue to find the time to make these videos because I love watching them and learn lots. So, thanks a ton!!! And good luck with your studies :)
This is beyond interesting to hear! I'm a medical student from Germany and upon hearing from your description I felt compelled to compare the curriculum you describe to the one I'm currently enrolled in. First things first: it appears that when it comes to harsh conditions to be allowed into medical programmes, Japan and Germany are quite similar to each other. Over here, thousands of people apply each year but only very few ever get a chance to study here. The applications are handled centrally for all medical universities (except private ones) and participants are allowed to state up to five preferences. To get into the really well established univerisities, you will, however, be required to list them as your first choice and must have either graduated from High School with the best grade possible (and even better) or have gotten a really good final grade in high school and done remarkably well in an extremely tense stress test where you get put under immense time pressure and have to perform all sorts of tasks on paper. If I remember correctly from this year's report, only about 4.5% of applicants made it into my university. Once students actually manage to get into a degree, very few actually drop out, though. During our first year (which is split in two halves aka semesters) we studied anatomy and actually had dissection classes as well! However, nobody got to choose the body they would be working on but would instead be assigned to a table. Their faces were also not covered - at some point we would even be dissecting those. We worked in groups as well and would perform six hours of dissection per week alongside several other courses such as biochemistry, physiology, physics and chemistry. After our second year which was still filled with learning all the cellular mechanisms and molecular pathways relevant to us we would take a state exam that sounds quite similar to the student doctor exam you described. It would, however, only be about the first two years of studies and would also be called "Physikum" or "pre-clinical exam" which lasts two entire days. We also never got something similar to the first year you described. We basically jumped to year two immediately and had all the other courses from your first year on top of that. I'm now in my sixth semester, i.e. the 2nd half of my third year. We had classes on pathology, pharmacology, immunology, microbiology, virology and several others durign the 5th semester and only now, after passing all those and passing the equivalent of the student doctor exam do we get to learn through bedside teaching, i.e. with patients involved. During this phase of the studies which lasts for 3 years in total, we get classes on all the different fields of medicine and also have to take many exams, sometimes OSCEs and sometimes written or oral exams. After that we take another state exam which will test all of those three years as one big, final "clinical exam" that spans 3 entire days. Having passed this 2nd state exam, we move on to our sixth year which is spent in actual hospitals and outpatient departments. After that we have to take another, final state exam which lasts for two days. Once we completed all these exams will we be allowed to begin residencies and work as assistant doctors (Assistenzärzte). After completing the residencies we finally become full doctors (Fachärzte). There are very few clubs to choose from when it comes to spare time. Almost all students organize their spare time on their own to follow whichever hobbies they enjoy. I, for example, love to play the piano. In summary, our curriculums seem to roughly align pretty neatly, save for the first year! I'm not sure why hearing you talk about med school in Japan made me want to type out all of this but I hope you might find it interesting to hear about how med school works in other countries. Perhaps one day I might have learned enough Japanese to watch this video without the subtitles. I wish you a very pleasant day!
いいビデオ! I've always wondered what med school is like in Japan. Are there ample opportunities for US doctors to work in Japan? From what I know, such doctors are only allowed to treat foreigners.
I enjoyed my time in Medical School and find it fascinating to hear other experiences in other countries. Keep doing you and good luck with your journey! - M
hii! I'm a year 2 nursing student from singapore, it's interesting to know the framework / curriculum of healthcare related students (physiotherapists,dentists,etc) / medical students from other parts of the world. For all nursing students here, we have interns at the hospital since 1st year. I enjoy my interns a lot as I learn and experience a lot things :) For my school, we will choose which hospitals we prefer and the system will give us which hospitals to go for the interns. Is it the same in Japan? Let's do our best as future healthcare providers! 💪 Thank you for this video :)
@@Onomappu Thank you for responding my comments Hitoki. I really wanna know the curriculum and specialisations. As well as international students studying healthcare related degrees in Japan 🇯🇵. :) once again thank you so much 🙂
こんばんは先生！ I'm a doctor in Australia, your studies sound super intense! Australia is definitely more relaxed, but we start seeing patients in the hospital from our 1st year. I'm coming to Japan next year for language school, do you think other med students would be interested in learning medical English?
Hiiii! I study veterinary medicine and I really like this video because I relate to it a lot!!!! Even though we study different species, we take the same classes 😂 thank you for making videos even though you have to study a lot 💕
Nicee video! I just finished Gastrointestinal module last semester(now I'm in semester 4). By the way, did Japanese Medical Students use the Latin word for a medical term or still use katakana? By the way, my favorite subject right now Is physiology subject, do you use book such as Sherwood, Tortora, or Guyton maybe? just curious though😂 所で、いい動画いつも通り、経験を教えてありがとうございます
Really nice video!!!! Thanks! I wanna know about part time jobs. Do undergraduate medical or dental students work part-time? Will it be interfere their study time? I want to study in dental school. But I need money for living cost. Can part time job cover for living expenses??
I'm also a medical student, from Uruguay. I was surprised to know how similar our systems are and that you joke about the same things such as parasitology :D Here its 7 years long because the last year you said you practice at a hospital we are not consider doctors yet, we graduate after that.
I always wanted to know how Japanese medical student study, in India medical school is of 5yr and 6 month course(1st yr: anatomy, physiology, biochemistry are mainly taught. 2nd yr: pathology, pharmacology, microbiology, community medicine, forensic sciences. 3rd year : psychiatry, dermatology, pediatric, OBG, surgery, orthopaedic, ENT, opthalmology, anesthiology. Opd postings. 4th year : Opd postings, medicine, otorhinolaryngology, along with some 3rd yr subjects. 5th year : more postings along same subjects. And after 5 year of course completion there is 6 months of internship.) PHYSIOTHERAPY in India : 1st yr: Anatomy Physiology Biochemistry Psychology Introduction to Yoga 2nd year: Microbiological Pharmacology Pathology Exercise therapy-1 Biomechenics Kinesiology Electro therapy-1 Application of yoga 3rd year: Exercise therapy - 2 Electro therapy - 2 Orthopaedics. Pediatrics. General medicine. General surgery. Psychiatry. Community medicine. Application of yoga. 4th year: Orthopaedics. Cardiopulmonary. Sports medicine. Rehabilitation. Neurological conditions. Therapeutic yoga. After 4yr course we do 6 month of internship. I hope u liked to know about the education in India, if in future i come to japan i would like to meet you. I m ur new subscriber now, keep making videos although i know its hard to make because of studies but all the best for ur future. 👍👍🎌🇮🇳
Hello! I really enjoyed this video, as much as the others. In my country (Hungary) if im not mistaken, the medical school last 6+6 years (the second could be 3-6 years depending on your speciality) As far as i know, in Hungary, we have one of the very best Medical education, especially in my town, Szeged. Many-many foreign ppl come to study here. But its also one of the hardest too. I mean, i always hear about the exhaustment of the students, especially in the second phase of the studies. Like studying and working (in the hospital) all the time. Like, ALL THE TIME. Im sure that in Japan the education is just as perfect and hard, as in elsewhere. Be strong and be a very great 医者さん :D
ようこそ、私はもメヂカル学生です! じつは、日本にいたいです、でもちょっと難しいておもいます。 ほんとは、もっと日本人のひととしゃべたいです、そしてみんなといしおになかよくなります。 I am still a beginner so please feel free to correct my fault if I did 😊
I am coming to Japan for medical studies I will start learning Japanese in Japanese school it will take about 1 year then I will enter med school hope, I will be selected as a doctor in japan..! thanks a lot for this video my friend..^^
So I have a presentation due to saturday, and I decided to talk about studying med in Japan (Tokyo university). Tou know ...the pros and cons and these kinda stuff ....this video already helped me alot tbh ...just need more information おねがいします！ If you do help be that will be great 😅.

入院した時は医科大学付属病院だったので、看護師と医学生はリハビリとかに連れて行くとき医学生としゃべるのが楽しかったです。何年生かわからなかったが、医学生に「専門は何ですか」や「医学の中で一番興味があるところは何ですか」と聞いて、「あ、まだわかりませんが～を学びたいです」とかをよく返事しました。まだ５年生ではありませんでしたね。
Thankyou Brother it helped me a lot to know about Japan Med schools. 👍👍
In India best medical college is AIIMS-Delhi it's really hard to get into that college....we have totally 16-17 lack aspirants who write exam to get into medical college.
i always thought that japanese med school is hard...but after this video i realize turkey s med school is harder lol
In India🇮🇳
1)School study till class 12
2)passing NEET exam (with highest marks to get into a government medical college)
3)5.5 years MBBS(including internship)
Now you're a general doctor
4) further steps are to become a super specialist doctor
I am a medstudent from Morocco and i speak 3 languages too haha! And i also tried to play the violin for some time but i gave up because it was way too hard, but our system here is so much different than yours! Good luck :)
こんにちは！ 私は メキシコじんです。I'm learning Japanese, and I'm a medstudent too. I enjoy your video. Good vibes bro!! ありがとうございます。 🇲🇽🇯🇵
hi! med student from Chile here, i'm in 4th year (out of 7) and so far i've had a really really similar experience in med school
please tell more stories about med school in Japan, it's really fun to see how med schools are in different countries, loved this video and good luck on your exam Onomappu 💜💜
Your dissection was exactly the same as ours (USA), we also had donated cadaver bodies and 4 students to one body. Most of the time the head was covered with a cloth unless we had to do facial dissection. The worst thing was our body still had pink painted fingernails.. a reminder of the person it used to be.
Hello there👋🏻
Your topics are really interesting and relevant especially to those people who like to study Japanese. One of the easiest way to study Japanese language is to watch your video 🤍
You are so cute when you talk with your hand gestures over there. ☺️✨
応援していまーす🙇🏼♀️🙇🏼♀️
wow, it really seems like a lot, I admire your dedication! I have a few friends who also study medicine and I'd say it's just as hard to get into uni here in Poland, but as far as I know they don't have so many classes everyday - still a ton of studying to do though!
The worst part for me is that after graduating you still have such a long period of training that by the time you become a legit doctor you're 30yo:") but I guess it's necessary
Anyways, keep up the good work!
Yeah when I become a doctor as a specialist, I’m already around 30 years old lol But seeing the situation in another way, I can take so much time to choose a specially which really suits me👍
@@Onomappu glad you can see the positives🤗
流石だね、日本の病院に行ったら、お医者さんが非常に難しい言葉を使って、なかなか聞き取れなくて大変困りましたけど、ひときさんみたいな外国人にわかりやすく日本語で話す医者さんがいたら、嬉しいな🤗
I wanted to be a doctor so bad, but I'm not resilient enough. So I'm 25 years old and finishing my 2nd year in Environmental Engineering here in Brazil! I wanted to make a difference, but maybe it was ment to be for the Environment and not Medicine :)
About the clubs, when you enter one, are the members from different faculties or are they only med students? I know there are some universities where the faculty of medicine is separated from the other departments, so I was wondering if you had the chance the meet and befriend people from various faculties. Also, what kind of clubs are available?
Love the video!
Thanks for the video!! It was very interesting seeing the differences between study medicine in Japan and Spain 💃💃
🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 wow that was interesting, i am a medical student as well ( North africa) , great luck to you🌸🌸🌸🌸
Thank you for making this video! it was really interesting!!
Wow! You're an amazing young fellow. Bright, talented, and diligent. :-)
In the Philippines, it is about 10 years total - 4 years at a university, 4 years in medical school, 1 year internship, then the national exam.
It’s interesting to get insight into how the Japanese medical schools work. Thank you for sharing!
In the UK the standard length of the course is 5 years before you become a doctor, 2 years working in mainly hospitals as a doctor (I suppose they’re called interns in other countries), then you go into specialist training.
When do you find the time to do the extracurricular activities?!!!
I’m curious; are the lectures held in English or Japanese, or a mixture of both?
Thank you for doing this video! I’m a hafu medical student in United States. I always wonder about how it is in Japan. Really enjoyed this video 😊
Very interesting
Your video was fun and very interesting. You made me laugh with your story about parasites.
がんばて
Really amazing vedio that was.
Please tell me international students applying for MEXT scholarship also had to pass enterance exam to take admiasion in medicine?
Its so interesting to see how everything works in Japan. Im 4th year in Med school in Bosnia. It lasts for 6 years too, but everything else is a lot different. First year we study anatomy, biology, chemistry and subjects like that. Until 4th year we focus on preclinical subjects. 4,5,6 years are clinical. After that we can work as doctor in primary health care or get specialisation (chirurgy, ginecology...). Failure is also higher and a lot of people fail one or two years, mostly because of anatomy.
Thank you very much it was very informative , I'm a final year medical student , in Algeria 🇩🇿 we study 7 years in medical school and our program for every year is almost the same as the one in Japan . In the 7th year we do a full year of medical Internship before graduation , I wonder if you do that too ?
I've really enjoyed your video. It's interesting how different med school is in our countries. I'm a neurologist in Brazil and med schools here generally follow this curriculum: 1st and 2nd grade are the basic biomedical sciences (anatomy, physiology, microbiology, biochemistry, biophysics, molecular biology, pathology...), 3rd and 4th grades are the basic medical theory (semiology, internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, ob/gyn, public health...) and, finally, 5th and 6th grades are the internship. Though the main practical activities are reserved to the internship, since the first semester we have activities with real patients. The classes are usually from 08:00 to 18:00 with a lunch break, but compared to the residence, med school I a dream.
フランスでは、10年もかかります。でもやっぱり日本でも大変ですね～ とりあえずすごく面白かった！ありがとうございます！
Wow, i just started watching your videos, specially those about the japanese language, and i was really surprised you are a medical student as well! I just started my studies in medical school and i can relate in a lot of things, it's a bit similar here in Brazil XD
I'm 31 y/o working in IT in Japan for a few years, my Japanese is only conversational, started thinking about becoming a doctor, this video was very interesting to watch.
I heard some negativity when it comes to practicing medicine in Japan as a foreigner, I wonder if you have any opinions regarding that
wow! that was really interesting! thank you for sharing it with us!👌✨
I’m a final year Medical Student in India. For us it’s 4 and 1/2 year plus and additional year of House sergeancy and maybe a year or half of rural posting. That makes it 6 year in total. We’re taught Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry in the first year. We were directly pushed into the Dissection Hall the day we joined. The second year we have Pathology, MicroBiology, Pharmacology and Forensic Medicine as main but they start teaching us all clinical subjects like medicine and surgery. We start getting posted at clinics this year and gets hands on training from this year to rest of the course. The third year we have ENT(otorhinolaryngology) , Ophthalmology and Community Medicine as the Main subjects. The final year is the most hectic with the remaining subjects like Internal Medicine, Surgery, OB & GYN , Pediatrics, Respiratory Medicine, Orthopaedics, Dermatology, Radiology and Psychiatry.
Im a Registered Nurse in the Philippines but now I'm currently studying Kaigofukushi (careworker) and the medical related subjects are really challenging 体のしくみ、認知症の教科、介護過程です。漢字とか日本語とか介護実習を難しいのに学びたいことを頑張ります。
Thank you for this informative video.Can I know about entrance examinations for Japanese medical schools?
Not in the medical field but I found the video interesting to watch (as are all of your videos!). It's truly a wonder you find the time to do all of these things with such a hectic schedule. And I'm selfishly hoping that you continue to find the time to make these videos because I love watching them and learn lots. So, thanks a ton!!! And good luck with your studies :)
Geetha Chakravarthy So nice comment! Thank you!
I will keep making videos! When I get these messages, I’m always motivated 😃
This is beyond interesting to hear! I'm a medical student from Germany and upon hearing from your description I felt compelled to compare the curriculum you describe to the one I'm currently enrolled in.
First things first: it appears that when it comes to harsh conditions to be allowed into medical programmes, Japan and Germany are quite similar to each other. Over here, thousands of people apply each year but only very few ever get a chance to study here. The applications are handled centrally for all medical universities (except private ones) and participants are allowed to state up to five preferences. To get into the really well established univerisities, you will, however, be required to list them as your first choice and must have either graduated from High School with the best grade possible (and even better) or have gotten a really good final grade in high school and done remarkably well in an extremely tense stress test where you get put under immense time pressure and have to perform all sorts of tasks on paper. If I remember correctly from this year's report, only about 4.5% of applicants made it into my university.
Once students actually manage to get into a degree, very few actually drop out, though. During our first year (which is split in two halves aka semesters) we studied anatomy and actually had dissection classes as well! However, nobody got to choose the body they would be working on but would instead be assigned to a table. Their faces were also not covered - at some point we would even be dissecting those. We worked in groups as well and would perform six hours of dissection per week alongside several other courses such as biochemistry, physiology, physics and chemistry. After our second year which was still filled with learning all the cellular mechanisms and molecular pathways relevant to us we would take a state exam that sounds quite similar to the student doctor exam you described. It would, however, only be about the first two years of studies and would also be called "Physikum" or "pre-clinical exam" which lasts two entire days. We also never got something similar to the first year you described. We basically jumped to year two immediately and had all the other courses from your first year on top of that.
I'm now in my sixth semester, i.e. the 2nd half of my third year. We had classes on pathology, pharmacology, immunology, microbiology, virology and several others durign the 5th semester and only now, after passing all those and passing the equivalent of the student doctor exam do we get to learn through bedside teaching, i.e. with patients involved. During this phase of the studies which lasts for 3 years in total, we get classes on all the different fields of medicine and also have to take many exams, sometimes OSCEs and sometimes written or oral exams. After that we take another state exam which will test all of those three years as one big, final "clinical exam" that spans 3 entire days. Having passed this 2nd state exam, we move on to our sixth year which is spent in actual hospitals and outpatient departments. After that we have to take another, final state exam which lasts for two days. Once we completed all these exams will we be allowed to begin residencies and work as assistant doctors (Assistenzärzte). After completing the residencies we finally become full doctors (Fachärzte).
There are very few clubs to choose from when it comes to spare time. Almost all students organize their spare time on their own to follow whichever hobbies they enjoy. I, for example, love to play the piano.
In summary, our curriculums seem to roughly align pretty neatly, save for the first year! I'm not sure why hearing you talk about med school in Japan made me want to type out all of this but I hope you might find it interesting to hear about how med school works in other countries. Perhaps one day I might have learned enough Japanese to watch this video without the subtitles.
I wish you a very pleasant day!
いいビデオ! I've always wondered what med school is like in Japan. Are there ample opportunities for US doctors to work in Japan? From what I know, such doctors are only allowed to treat foreigners.
I enjoyed my time in Medical School and find it fascinating to hear other experiences in other countries.
Keep doing you and good luck with your journey!

hii! I'm a year 2 nursing student from singapore, it's interesting to know the framework / curriculum of healthcare related students (physiotherapists,dentists,etc) / medical students from other parts of the world. For all nursing students here, we have interns at the hospital since 1st year. I enjoy my interns a lot as I learn and experience a lot things :) For my school, we will choose which hospitals we prefer and the system will give us which hospitals to go for the interns. Is it the same in Japan? Let's do our best as future healthcare providers! 💪 Thank you for this video :)
please post more videos regarding to studying medicine / medicine in Japan. I like your videos.
Yeah definitely I'm gonna make videos related to medicine. If you have something especially you wanna know, just let me know
@@Onomappu Thank you for responding my comments Hitoki. I really wanna know the curriculum and specialisations. As well as international students studying healthcare related degrees in Japan 🇯🇵. :) once again thank you so much 🙂
本当にうらやましいですね。私もお医者さんに なりたいですけど、私の国では 高校の成績で 決められたので 医学の勉強ができなくなりました。色々教えてくださりありがとうございました😊
こんばんは先生！ I'm a doctor in Australia, your studies sound super intense! Australia is definitely more relaxed, but we start seeing patients in the hospital from our 1st year.
I'm coming to Japan next year for language school, do you think other med students would be interested in learning medical English?
Thank you for sharing this!
I think they would be interested in it 😊
Hiiii! I study veterinary medicine and I really like this video because I relate to it a lot!!!! Even though we study different species, we take the same classes 😂 thank you for making videos even though you have to study a lot 💕
I guess veterinary students have more stuff to study because there’re so many species on the earth 🤣
Thank you😆
Nicee video! I just finished Gastrointestinal module last semester(now I'm in semester 4). By the way, did Japanese Medical Students use the Latin word for a medical term or still use katakana?
By the way, my favorite subject right now Is physiology subject, do you use book such as Sherwood, Tortora, or Guyton maybe? just curious though😂 所で、いい動画いつも通り、経験を教えてありがとうございます
あなたは日本人ですか？ 私はインド人です！ 日本でmedicine を勉強に欲しいです！You're inspirational to me!! ありがとございます！助けるわ
Really nice video!!!! Thanks!
I wanna know about part time jobs. Do undergraduate medical or dental students work part-time? Will it be interfere their study time? I want to study in dental school. But I need money for living cost. Can part time job cover for living expenses??
I'm also a medical student, from Uruguay. I was surprised to know how similar our systems are and that you joke about the same things such as parasitology :D
Here its 7 years long because the last year you said you practice at a hospital we are not consider doctors yet, we graduate after that.
You have such a cute smile! I'm also a medical student, but in Perú

何処の国でも医学部の皆さんは大変ですね。人間の健康や命を守る為なので応援しています。😊
Hello!
I really enjoyed this video, as much as the others.
In my country (Hungary) if im not mistaken, the medical school last 6+6 years (the second could be 3-6 years depending on your speciality)
As far as i know, in Hungary, we have one of the very best Medical education, especially in my town, Szeged. Many-many foreign ppl come to study here.
But its also one of the hardest too. I mean, i always hear about the exhaustment of the students, especially in the second phase of the studies. Like studying and working (in the hospital) all the time. Like, ALL THE TIME.
Im sure that in Japan the education is just as perfect and hard, as in elsewhere. Be strong and be a very great 医者さん :D
Thank you very much for this video! So informative
ようこそ、私はもメヂカル学生です!
じつは、日本にいたいです、でもちょっと難しいておもいます。
ほんとは、もっと日本人のひととしゃべたいです、そしてみんなといしおになかよくなります。
I am still a beginner so please feel free to correct my fault if I did 😊
I am a physio therapist and want to come to japan, can you please tell me the scope, as i already cleared N5
You'll need at least N1 to be a doctor in Japan.
とても面白い動画ですね！私は3年前ポーランドの医大を卒業しました！ポーランドにもめちゃ大変ですね！プログラムは似てると思います。でも私たちは始めから他の科目の大学生から分かれています。実はポーランドに医大学は別々の大学ですね。働く病院の選び方も少し違います。興味がある科に働けることは時々問題ですね！
何の医者になりたいですか？
私は神経科を勉強します！
いつか日本病院に実習したいです！
I am coming to Japan for medical studies
I will start learning Japanese in Japanese school it will take about 1 year
then I will enter med school hope, I will be selected as a doctor in japan..!
thanks a lot for this video my friend..^^
So I have a presentation due to saturday, and I decided to talk about studying med in Japan (Tokyo university).
Tou know ...the pros and cons and these kinda stuff ....this video already helped me alot tbh ...just need more information
おねがいします！
If you do help be that will be great 😅.
Tokyo university teaches Medicine in English?
私の生活が忙しいと思ったですけど．．．このビデオを見たら、もうそう思いません。ひときさんは偉い人ですね！素晴らしい医者になるに違いがありません！多分よく聞き取りませんでしたが、今何年生でしょうか。
im 14 years old but i wanna study med in japan so bad :)
そうですね……シンガポールの医学生はとても頭がいいです。高校の時から、大学レベルの課題を勉強しなければなりません。高校の成績が全部Aだとしても、医学生になる確率は少ないです。病院で働いたことある人と高校の時から大学レベルの課題を勉強した人が有利です。
このビデオはとても面白かったです！ありがとうございました😊
Hi, would you be able to talk about applying to Japanese Medical schools from the US? I love the information you provide 💚
Can you pls make a video on how foreigners can be doctors in Japan?
I really need the answer
What are the contents of the entrance exam?
So that I can study in advance
Thanks in advance!
医学部だったんですか？？すごすぎる、、
Thank you so much for this video! Please explain if how to be a foreign doctor in Japan, how to do residency or especializations...
