Health Care Tours
These tours have taken two entirely different formats. Specialized narrow areas of interest with a small group of tourists, generally ten or twelve seeking detail in a common area of interest. The other format is more general in content with a group of maybe twenty or thirty individuals visiting multiple healthcare organizations. Both formats have worked well with a one-week (five days of activities plus travel) format.
Japan/America Health Care Forum
This annual event has offered a variety of topics important to both the United States and Japan. With speakers offering presentations and discussions with the audience, the forum offers a comfortable learning experience.

2019 Physician Exchange Program
The purpose of the Physician Exchange Program is to provide Japanese and American university medical students and resident physicians the opportunity to observe clinical and administrative practices in each others’ country. This program enables the future healthcare providers to adopt best practices based on their personal observations.
Additionally, visitors to each country will have the privilege of expanding their cultural horizons. The design of the program allows time and encourages social and cultural activities during the brief visit.
