Hello,
I am a newly graduated doctor and am about to start my junior doctor internship for 2 years in London.
I was hoping that after I finish my initial training in the UK I could spend some time in living in Japan (6 months-1 year). I understand to work as a doctor in Japan would require me passing the national exams which is in Japanese etc. .. However, I was wondering if there is any other options where I can use my medical knowledge? For example, to work in a hospital for foreigners etc. If working as a doctor without passing this national exams is completely impossible, does anyone know if there is any other medical fields that I would be able to work in? ...Or if all else fails, for me to teach medical English/ proof read scientific papers?
I really love Japan and my partner is Japanese and would love to somehow live there for a short period of time. It does, however seems a bit of a waste to not use any of my medical knowledge and just to teach English in schools!
thank you very much!
ps. My Japanese level is basic conversational. I have been able to get by in Japan. I can't really read/write though. Hopefully, I will get a bit better after another 2 years, but at the moment it is quite basic!
