What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0001742) β€” you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 50 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 4.0β˜… 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.

????

I have been hospitalized before, and as you would expect from a university hospital, not only the medical skills but also the education of the nurses was excellent.I wanted to stay there forever.The parking lot is too far away, so it would be nice if there were measures in place for people with poor mobility.

????

It's located on a mountain in a quiet urban area. There's nothing around, but the nurses and doctors are kind and polite. There's nothing pretentious about it. They also advised me to connect with a local clinic. You can't get a consultation without a referral letter. Of course.

????

I have been in and out of the hospital since February for esophageal cancer. The doctors, staff, personnel and facilities are all excellent, and the service in every department is kind, polite and considerate, so I can concentrate on my treatment with peace of mind.

????

Since 2020, I have been hospitalized several times for bladder cancer treatment, and since then I have been visiting the hospital regularly. I am grateful that you have treated me despite the COVID-19 pandemic. I look forward to continuing to treat you.

?????

It's been a while since I last came here, and things have changed a bit, but everyone, especially the receptionist, was very kind to me. The doctor and nurses were also very kind to me, and I feel relieved. As a family member, I'm very grateful.

????

The new medical school already had a variety of departments and possessed cutting-edge technology, even within Fukushima Prefecture, but the expanded size and number of students in each field has made it even easier to receive medical care. …

I was coughing loudly without a mask in the post office inside the hospital, and then a group of five or six people were walking around messing around on the sidewalk next to the hospital and I couldn't avoid them, so I was bumped into. I …

???

A university with a doctoral researcher who is an unbelievable person. As a farewell gift, he gave the remaining seasonings from his house to the staff and went to America. But unfortunately, he came back in 2020. Kyoto women are scary!!

????

I was transferred to another hospital because surgery can only be performed at a medical school. I am grateful that the doctors and everyone there treated me so kindly. They are still kind and helpful even after I was discharged.

???????

It is also home to Fukushima's emergency medical center, where emergency patients are transported by helicopter. The latest medical equipment protects your life. It is a reliable hospital. Even aspiring doctors study here.

????????

The doctors, nurses, and staff are all very kind and are taking every precaution against the coronavirus, including taking temperatures, using alcohol disinfectant, and social distancing. I feel safe visiting the clinic.

????

I went to the emergency room, but the office lady told me in a condescending tone that if it was an emergency, I should call first, which annoyed me a bit, and I felt like her way of handling things was not very good.

????

I was hospitalized for several days.
I was deeply moved by the way the doctors, nurses, and nursing assistants cared for each and every patient with sincerity and kindness, and I spent every day feeling grateful.

HIROYUKI TAKAHASHI

The area around the general reception and accounting desk is currently undergoing renovations, making it difficult to navigate.
I was hospitalized until today, and the ward felt small and old. …

SHI HO

Wait times can be long, so be prepared. lol
But the doctors are very attentive, and because it's a general hospital, they collaborate with other departments and share information as needed.

T.K

In one game, a 28-year-old man exposed his university, but is it really okay to be exposed by someone like that...?
He called others disabled, so is this a dangerous university? …

????

I went for treatment, but after it was over, I was told "this is it" and there were no further instructions. I didn't know what to do next, so I wanted clearer instructions.

????

There are a lot of female doctors who are careless! They get the name of the medicine wrong, the amount prescribed wrong, and it's very stressful every time...

??

The nurses are kind, and Lawson has a wide selection of products. I was shocked to see that Daito Bank and Fukushima Bank ATMs were gone...

It's like a town. There are convenience stores and Starbucks. However, it's a shame that some financial institutions no longer have ATMs.

I am his regular doctor. He is very kind and polite, so I feel at ease. I'm glad he listens carefully to what I have to say.

?????

Depending on your situation, you may feel differently. I have been given the strength to live! Every day is a good day.

???

I'm tired because of the long wait. Working from early in the morning until 3pm is too tough for a cancer patient!!

????

I am undergoing radiation therapy using nuclear medicine. I will be on hold from tomorrow until Wednesday.

Since it is a university hospital, it is normal for babies to be born and for sick people to die.

Y E

I highly recommend this hospital because of the high level of medical care and friendly staff.

????

As it is a medical school, I think the staff, doctors and nurses all have very good service.

I want to see the hotel. I wonder if it will be difficult to find it after the renovation?

There are plenty of shops and it's an ideal hospital. Other than the long waiting times.

????

I am currently hospitalized, but the people in charge are nice and I feel at ease.

The place is Bimyeo. Is it okay because the hospital cafeteria is Kourakuen?

The inside is currently undergoing major renovations, which is a pain.

Tetsuro Nishimura

It's far from the station, but it has a calm atmosphere.

I only went there for work, so I don't know the details.

It's on top of a mountain, so it's hard with the snow...
