Specialist/Residency in Japan

Good morning/afternoon/evening,

My name is Kevin Leonard Suryadinata, i am an Indonesian medical student in my 3rd year. First, i want to say sorry for sending this email. I do not know am i send this to the right place, because it is so hard to find any contact person.

I am very interested in continuing my postgraduate education to become a specialist in Japan. I have some questions:

1. How do one (Japan student, not an international student) can apply to undergo a specialist education/residency after graduating from undergraduate degree (M.D.)?

2. After i graduate around 3-4 years again, i will take the National Licensing Examination and if i pass i will get the license to practice in my country. Based on this news http://www.asiaone.com/News/Latest%2...16-263784.html, i do not have to take Japanese National License Examination to be qualified in Japan and take the specialist training. Is it true?

3. If i already have a license to practice in my country and i want to apply into Japan universities to take a residency/training to be specialist, what are the steps i should do for foreigner? Do i have to be fluent in Japanese language? (i will take Japanese language course next semester)

4. Right now i am interested to become a Ophthalmologist, Surgeon, Psychiatrist, and Anesethesiologist. Can you recommend some universities that have this majors/training? Because in my country, not all university/hospital can provide training in all fields.


I really need this information. I already have asked to so many forums and persons, but neither of them can make a conclusive answer. Thank you for your time and attention for reading this through the end, i hope you can help me. Sorry for my english because this is not my mother language, but i still working on it.
Again, thank you!



Regards,
Kevin Leonard Suryadinata

For such degree programs every country has their own rules and regulation. Even though you have a recognize degree in your country but to start in some other country you will also need a certificate in Japan too. This is important for you to start practice in here.
 
4. You must be joking or crazy. No offense.

EDIT: Just noticed WHEN the post was created. Why did you bother answering / reviving it, nirvama?
