----------------------

The three current student pathology fellows Taylor Goller, Christina Litsakos and Rebekah Wieland had the opportunity to travel to Japan for a medical exchange between Kansai Medical University and the Robert Larner MD, College of Medicine. They spent two weeks rotating through various departments in the Japanese medical university including Pediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Internal Medicine, Plastic Surgery, Emergency Medicine and Critical Care, Psychosomatic Medicine, and of course Pathology. In addition, Kansai Medical University paired the student fellows with current Japanese medical students to experience real Japanese culture and cuisine. The students experiences ranged from traditional Japanese shinto shrines in Kyoto to a modern art island in Naoshima and the busting streets of Tokyo and Osaka. The opportunity was made available due to Dr. Kida's initiation and continued involvement in the exchange. In April 2017, two new Japanese medical students from Kansai Medical University will be visiting our institution. To learn more about their experience please join them January 25th in Trainer Conference Room during the Grand Rounds Luncheon at 12:15. (Nov.2016)
