Australian medical student interested in medical elective in Japan
Heya I’m a medical student from Australia looking to do a 4-week elective in a Japanese university hospital sometime in December ’24 -> January ’25.
I’ve visited Japan a few times but I don’t speak Japanese unfortunately which I’m a bit worried about. I’m open to anywhere within Japan.
Does anyone have any information or experience about medical school electives in Japan and how much the language barrier may play a part? Thank you!
EDIT for repost: was just wondering if anyone had any specific experiences in relation to language issues etc :)) i don’t need assistance in the application process and my medical school doesn’t have any Japanese partner universities so they have very little information regarding this aspect of it. not sure if this still breaks rule 2.
