My Desire To Study

One of my favorite proverbs is "The greatest risk is standing still." I am willing to try anything new and try my best responding to the situations.

I discovered dinghy sailing and I joined a sailing club at my university, Osaka Medical College. My partner and I practiced and analyzed tactics persistently in order to win; we got a champion flag at Lake Biwa. I was also involved in the management of the club for three years. I fulfilled my duty as a captain for two years and also as a treasurer for one year. In addition, I actively participated in the yacht sector of the West Medical Sports Festival and held workshop to prevent heat stroke and fatal accidents—of course, such accidents are rare—and organized the system to rescue people rapidly

I strived for that goal. Eventually, with the cooperation of numerous people and Former Professor Kono of the Osaka Medical College of Public Health, I got the chance to study for one month at Siriraj Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand. I was surprised at their medical system, which is quite different from that of Japan. The Thailand system was built for less money than the Japanese system. Most of the water used in operation rooms was not clean enough. The academic schooling was also very different. Surgeons who were exceptionally supported by the nation to study surgery in the US or European Union focused on surgery. Clinical practice and surgery were clearly divided in the system. Knowing some of overseas medical system has helped me to widen my insight about the Japanese

I also want to be a doctor who empathizes with my patients’ suffering of physical and mental pain, but still keeps distance as a professional. In teams, I like to feed my experiences back to team members, and also to receive feedback from colleagues. I believe that verifying the evidence from each test, which is the practice in the JADECOM hospitals, is very important. I was deeply impressed when I talked with my classmate who was trained in one of the JADECOM hospitals. However, I regret that there is little chance to learn it.

The residents you seek overlap with my interest. I think that your statement, “fusion of art and medicine,” might be challenging as a doctor’s lifework, but I would like to work hard toward it. I want to be a doctor who can make a positive impact on the lives of patients, their families, and the people who are involved in health care.

Medical care that emphasizes EBM, medical education that is influenced by the United States’ practices and your membership of JADECOM all align exactly with my concept of the ideal hospital for training for my first two years as a doctor. In addition, I would be delighted if you gave me permission to be a member of your team. I have confidence in my ability in English; I participated in conferences in English in Thailand for one month, and my interpersonal skills that I cultivated in my sailing
