Discovering the Path to Medical School: KALS Event

On September 7th, 2023, KALS Shinjuku will host a special event titled "Everything You Need to Know About Bachelor's Transfer to Medical School". This unique opportunity is tailored for individuals contemplating a transition into the field of medicine through a bachelor's transfer process. Participants will benefit from insights on admission trends, preparation methods, and student life, providing a holistic understanding of the journey ahead.

Why Now is a Great Time to Consider a Bachelor's Transfer

The prospect of transferring to medical school has become increasingly attractive recently, especially following the pandemic's impact on education. The entrance examinations for bachelor's transfer students, which saw a surge in interest during COVID-19, are now stabilizing, making it a more conducive time for prospective medical students to explore this path. In fact, KALS data reveals notable applicant numbers for leading universities with substantial slots available, including Hirosaki University, Gunma University, Shiga University of Medical Science, Yamaguchi University, Oita University, and Kagoshima University.

The event at KALS on September 7th will feature a keynote lecture by Dr. Keiichi Akita, the Dean of Tokyo Science University’s Medical School. Dr. Akita will discuss the importance of the bachelor's transfer process and the qualities that medical schools are seeking in applicants. Additionally, KALS instructors will provide an overview of the transfer examination and delve into the significant subject of 'Life Sciences,' which is critical for the entrance exams. This multifaceted approach aims to enhance understanding from both the applicants' and the academic institutions' perspectives.

Moreover, attendees will have the chance to hear personal success stories from KALS alumni who successfully navigated the transfer process.
