Fulbright Lecture: “Global Opportunities for Future 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.Following last year’s Fulbright lecture, Kumamoto University, in cooperation with Fulbright Japan, will once again welcome Dr. Joyce Trompeta, Professor of Surgery at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) School of Medicine and a Fulbrighter, for a seminar entitled “Global Opportunities for Future Doctors.” Dr. Trompeta conducts research at Kumamoto University, the Japanese Red Cross Kumamoto Hospital, and various academic institutions throughout Japan.
Studying abroad and engaging in cultural exchange can broaden career opportunities for medical professionals and bring new value to society. We hope that this seminar will make overseas study feel more accessible not only to those who are already interested, but also to those who may not have considered it before.
We look forward to your participation.
