Internationalization Committee of the Society (23rd-24th Term)
The Internationalization Committee of the Society (23rd-24th Term) is engaged in activities related to the society's internationalization, global information dissemination, and academic exchange. In alignment with Vision 2030, the internationalization strategy formulated by the 21st-22nd term committee, we plan to implement concrete initiatives to achieve this vision.
Furthermore, this committee serves as a platform for diverse members to actively contribute, promoting inclusivity more than ever before. Our committee consists of members from various backgrounds, including medical, nursing, and liberal arts fields, as well as members from Europe and Asia, and early-career professionals.
