ABSTRACT
To discuss the internationalization of the Japan Society for Medical Education (JSME), we gathered and summarized information, which included international participants to annual JSME conferences over the past eleven years, Japanese participants of international conferences on education in healthcare professions education, international educational programs provided by Japanese medical educationalists, and medical education programs provided overseas. However, we feel that the existing data are still insufficient to clarify the problems and goals that JSME should address in the context of internationalization. To overcome the situation, we propose 1) continuous information gathering and analysis regarding international academic activities, 2) a diversified approach on linguistic and cultural translation, and 3) internationalization starting from grassroots one-to-one relationships.
