Columbia University "International Collaboration and Exchange Program" (ICE Program)

The Keio University School of Medicine has been participating in Columbia University's international exchange program since 2021. Only students from prestigious medical and dental schools worldwide registered as partner institutions can participate, with the goal of fostering global leaders in international healthcare. Activities include spontaneous interaction among students, networking, group discussions, presentations, and exchange programs during long vacations. The program covers a wide range of fields in international healthcare and basic science, allowing participation from lower-grade students who may not yet have high levels of medical expertise. At our university, students participate as a team (Student Chapter) and engage proactively in activities such as exchanges and discussions with students from around the world.
