  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0001044) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 110 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 3.0★ — 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.

  • 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.

????

I had surgery for a torn rotator cuff in January 2016. Since the surgery, I've had no pain and my rehabilitation has been going well. I'd like to thank my doctor, Dr. Hamano, my rehabilitation specialist, Dr. Kanno, and all the nurses. Everyone at the hospital was very kind to me. I'll have my final MRI in January.

This is not the opinion of the hospital or the doctors, but there is a store called Azalea inside Gunma University Hospital that sells items necessary for hospitalization, but the staff there are ruthless and ruthless, even to elderly people. I wonder if the lady at the cash register could be a little kinder.

?????

It's best to be prepared for long waiting times, which are typical of large hospitals. There are many doctors, and while some are good, there are also some quacks who make inaccurate diagnoses. In such cases, don't hesitate to ask for a different doctor! In this day and age, a second opinion is essential.

?????

My child visited the ENT outpatient clinic. Since it was his first visit, the wait time was quite long, but the doctor apologized for making us wait, explained the symptoms, spoke to my child kindly, and provided excellent technique. The nurses were also very kind to me. The doctor was a very kind woman.

??

I made a reservation at 9am, and finished at 3pm. If it takes time, they should have told me, but I just had to wait. I can't get a lunchtime seat either. It's not an attraction, but I want them to tell me how many minutes I have to wait. I thought that since my phone was restored, I could do that much.

???

I underwent hip replacement surgery, and thanks to that, I can now walk again. My hospital room (a four-person room) was spacious enough and even had a DVD player and a refrigerator. The toilets and shower rooms were clean, and the food was delicious. Thank you to everyone who treated me so kindly.

I underwent thoracoscopic surgery here. There were various issues, but ultimately, I think there were things I couldn't get anywhere else.
Another attractive feature is that the hospital is equipped with a variety of facilities, including a convenience store, restaurant, pharmacy, and florist.

????channel

The doctors in the department where I'm examined are kind, and the nurses are also very kind and helpful. You have to line up for the blood collection room when it's busy, but if it's not busy you'll be called in quickly. When I was hospitalized, the nurses on the ward were very kind.

??

When my mother was hospitalized for neurosurgery, they were very kind to her. They responded quickly. Most of the staff were also nice.
Thank you very much for your help. I'm glad she was able to receive treatment at Gunma University. Thank you very much.
