There will be good days and bad days in living and studying abroad. It will involve lots of work and adjustments, sometimes sacrifices, yet overcoming tough times will also be your precious experience.
Studying abroad will be a big decision. We hope stories from two doctors, how they coped with issues they encountered before and after departing Japan, would help you push yourself out of your comfort zone.
