The Wide-Area Collaborative Course is based at Keio University Hospital and collaborates with Kitami Red Cross Hospital, Suwa Central Hospital, and University of Miyazaki Hospital to provide training in diverse medical environments, including prefectures with fewer doctors. By learning broadly from advanced specialized medical care to community medicine, you can discover your strengths and expand the scope of your future career.

In this training, you will acquire the ability to respond flexibly to different medical environments and broad clinical capabilities. During your residency, which is an important starting point as a physician, you will cultivate professionalism, communication skills that support team medicine, and leadership. We also encourage academic growth through conference presentations and research activities.

Through this program, by accumulating multifaceted experiences and broadening your perspective, you should be able to grow into a "resilient physician" capable of responding flexibly to any medical setting. We encourage you to take on the challenge and expand your horizons as a physician.
