In July 2020, the NPO "Team WADA" was established to support Japanese medical professionals and students studying abroad and working overseas, led by Dr. Daisho Kitahara and Dr. Takemi Ota, who are active in the United States. ..
With the internationalization of society, the number of people expanding overseas is steadily increasing, and in the medical world as well, many medical professionals and medical students who are interested in overseas medical care are aiming to study abroad and expand overseas. ing.However, even in the present age when the Internet has developed, it is difficult to obtain medical information overseas in real time, which is a major obstacle for medical professionals who wish to study abroad.Another problem is that there are differences in access to information depending on the area where medical staff live, the facilities to which they belong, and the human network.
"Team WADA" started its activities in 2017 because Dr. Kitahara and Dr. Ota wanted to convey to the younger generation the experiences they had suffered in an environment they were not accustomed to working overseas and the ingenuity to overcome them.By providing information on overseas medical information and information on doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and other various occupations working overseas in real time, we will correct the information gap and prepare a foothold for medical professionals in Japan to expand overseas more easily. We are working toward.
On the official website of "Team WADA", medical professionals such as blogs where medical professionals working overseas spell out local information, live distribution of study abroad information by overseas doctors, and dialogue videos where doctors directly answer questions from medical students and nursing students. It disseminates all information related to study abroad and employment, supports medical professionals and medical students studying abroad and employment, and also provides a place for exchanges between doctors working overseas.
