Are there any medical schools in japan that teach in english? -

You ll need advanced Japanese language skills to learn anything (other than the Japanese language) in Japan. It s not impossible though. If you re looking for a good place to learn japanese, try http://www.japanesepod101.com . But if you re looking to learn a little Japanese while at a medical school in Japan, I m sorry to say that it s not possible. If you were already an MD, and you wanted to get transferred to Japan, then Japanese language skills might not be as important, but if you are in medical school, anything less than fluent Japanese won t be acceptable. どういたしまして！Sorry to bring you such bad news! But 一生懸命がんばって and I m sure you ll to do it!

I don t know it, but my cousin who s Canadian teaches common science and chemistry in English for Japanese students in Japan now.

You ll need fluency in Japanese to become a doctor

There is no medical schools in Japan that teach in English. I don t know why you want to study in Japan, but US is as advanced in medical field as Japan, so why don t you go to the states??

You ll need fluency in Japanese to become a doctor or most other medical type fields in Japan. Not just fluency in regular Japanese but you have the added items of having to understand Japanese medical terminology. Naturally medical schools in Japan are in Japanese.

You can study medicine in Japan in English in a limited capacity. For example, you can get a research grant and basically do your own study, but through a university. You would have an advisor, you would submit reports. I know that s available at Tohoku University in Sendai. Einstein visited there. It s a pretty major educational institute. As far as actual classes in medicine go at the university level, it would be in Japanese. If you just want to spend time in Japan, go for the research grant thing. If you actually want to learn about Japanese medicine, then go to unversity in Japan and prepare to study a lot of Japanese. People do it. It s not unheard of. Then again, if you re going to go that far, you might as well study traditional Chinese medicine in China. That s a whole world that the West doesn t pay enough attention to. Just don t believe what they say about seal penis. Stick to the herbs. Chinese is supposed to be easier to learn than Japanese anyway, from an English perspective. Plus you d get the benefit of being in a country with a massive economic surge forward. Things in China are either old and antiquated or ultra-state-of-the-art. Chances are mom and dad don t want you to be far from home for too long though, right? Just go the easy route. Be a normal doctor with a quot;Japan experiencequot; - that one year you spent in Japan doing quot;researchquot; and the government paid you a crazy amount of money to do so. Maybe you can throw some karate lessons and a boyfriend in too while you re there.
