Global Partnerships

We have established formal Cooperation Agreements with several medical schools abroad, and are actively pursuing new global partners for the continued promotion of international exchange and collaboration for medical education and research purposes. Outside of such formal agreements, medical students and doctors from Kyorin University have also gone abroad for short-term clinical observerships at numerous healthcare institutions in North America, Europe and Asia. In return, students and doctors from these regions of the world have spent time as clinical observers at the Kyorin University Hospital to learn about various diseases and healthcare in Japan. We believe that this exchange is valuable in order to promote a global understanding of the issues surrounding medical care in different cultures and healthcare systems.
