What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0000023) β€” you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 80 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 2.9β˜… β€” read the full text below before deciding.

Verify before you pay anyone

  • Recognition and licensing rules change over time. Re-check the current NMC-eligible colleges list and this country's regulations for Japan yourself before paying anything.
  • Never pay an agent or "seat reservation" fee in cash, or before you have a signed offer letter directly from the university.
  • A guaranteed admission, a discounted "management quota" seat, or pressure to decide within 24 hours are classic pressure tactics β€” slow down and verify independently.
  • Confirm the medium of instruction, hostel/food costs, and total multi-year fee in writing from the university itself, not only from an agent's brochure.

Real reviews from students.

They don't see people as people. My distrust of doctors has grown. They say that the lack of medical care in depopulated areas is serious, but I think it's also a problem with the quality of doctors. It makes me so sad to think that if my family had been treated at a hospital in the city, they would still be laughing and having fun.

Thank you for your help! I am truly grateful to all medical professionals. Thank you for your continued hard work. I will cherish the life I have been given. Please consider painless breast cancer screening (DWIBS search) and a gastroscopy endoscope (such as the 5.2mm PENTAX EG16-K10).
