ABSTRACT
In recent years, with the advance of globalization, there has been an increasing demand for education in the medical field to promote cross-cultural understanding and a multicultural society. The International University of Health and Welfare (IUHW) School of Medicine, which opened in 2017, accepts 20 international students each year out of a capacity of 140 students, and the majority of classes are taught in English, and other efforts have been made to provide medical education that emphasizes internationalism. As an example of how to deal with internationality and multicultural coexistence, this paper describes a “Global Health” course taught by multinational faculty members. The goal of this course is to cultivate a mindset of respect for people with different cultural and linguistic backgrounds and to act based on understanding, in order to build a symbiotic society.
