Medical Training in the United States and the United Kingdom / 医学教育

ABSTRACT

We three students of Saga Medical School visited medical centers in the United States and the United Kingdom as an elective course in the sixth year of medical education. One of us went to Sutter Medical Center, Santa Rosa, California, in the United States for 4 weeks, and two of us went to the University of Leicester in the United Kingdom for 4 weeks. These experiences led us to reconsider Japanese medical education, medical system, and hospital volunteers from different points of view.
