>Do you need to take a test to get into Medical School in Japan? I told you that you need to take an entrance exam in the previous question. >-if yes, can I get a major in America then take the test Medical school in Japan is like a college, one subject of college. You join it after high school at 18. So you don't need to major something in US. >I heard that Japanese residents do not usually go to American doctors. Is this true? There are just very few American doctors in Japan. It's not many enough to talk about if it's true or false. I myself have never seen an American doctor in Japan.

You can go to an American medical school and still become a doctor in Japan, but do you know enough Japanese to take the Japanese medical licensing exam? It is entirely in Japanese and covers Japanese medical laws that aren't taught in any medical school outside of Japan. The medical jargon in the exam is not everyday Japanese either. A Japanese person would not go to an American doctor in Japan, if they aren't confident the doctor would understand their ailment, in Japanese. There are a handful of American and other foreign doctors in Japan, to the comfort of English speakers living in Japan. It's a niche market that's already taken up. If your conversational Japanese is good enough to see Japanese patients, you can get a job in international marketing and three times as much as teaching English, so there is good incentive for you to learn the language. All Japanese universities have entrance exams, including medical school.
