Japanese National Physician Graduate Medical Education Program
Since 1952, U.S. Naval Hospital Yokosuka, Japan has actively trained Japanese physicians in a one-year rotating internship. Education is conducted English and focuses on a Western approach to medical care. Interns learn outpatient and inpatient medicine and assist as medical liaisons between USNH Yokosuka and local Japanese hospitals.
Six Japanese physicians are selected to begin training each April. The year includes rotations in internal medicine, pediatrics, family medicine, general surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, radiology, orthopedics, anesthesia, dermatology, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, neurology, and psychiatry. Six weeks of electives are available for interns to choose from as well.
Japanese citizens or permanent residents who have graduated or will graduate the current academic year from Japanese medical schools are eligible to apply for an internship position. All applicants should be fluent in verbal and written English. A personal interview is required for acceptance. Six interns will be selected in October for the following year's class.
