Medical Seminar for Aspiring Doctors: "To Those Who Aim to Be Physicians"

On September 15, 2023, the Medical Lab, a prestigious preparatory school for medical university entrance exams, will host a vital seminar for junior high, high school students, and their parents. The event, titled "To Those Who Aim to Be Physicians," is designed to provide insight into the challenges and rewards of becoming a doctor. The seminar will be available in both in-person and on-demand formats, ensuring access for all interested participants.

As one of the hardest university programs to enter, medical school poses significant challenges, especially as the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare has indicated a reduction in medical school admissions starting from the 2027 academic year. Therefore, this seminar is timely, aiming to equip the next generation of medical professionals with crucial knowledge and motivation.
