Fulbright Lecture: “Explore New Horizons Abroad for Medical Doctors”
Kumamoto University is committed to fostering students who broaden their horizons, aspire to play active roles on the global stage, and take on challenges from Kumamoto to the world.In cooperation with Fulbright Japan, we are pleased to host a seminar by Dr. Joyce Trompeta, Professor of Surgery at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and Fulbright Grantee. She has conducted research at Kumamoto University, the Japan Red Cross Kumamoto Hospital, and other institutions in Japan. In her lecture, she will share her experiences with overseas study and research under the theme, “Explore New Horizons Abroad for Medical Doctors.”
Studying abroad and engaging in cultural exchange not only expand career opportunities as medical professionals but also bring new value to society.
We hope that this lecture will serve as an opportunity to make overseas study feel more accessible—not only for those already interested, but also for those who may not have considered it before.
We warmly look forward to your participation.
