The delegation received training at Tokushima University for 14 days from November 17th to 30th, 2024 on the training management system for doctors at Japanese university hospitals. Specifically, they received extensive training on the medical education and training system in Japan, the collaboration system between university hospitals and affiliated hospitals (training and medical department personnel), pre-graduate medical education at Tokushima University Faculty of Medicine and seamless collaboration between pre-graduate and post-graduate medical education.
The eight trainees including Professor Enkhtur, Dean of the School of Medicine of the Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences, and other doctors who are university officials attended the lectures enthusiastically despite the tight schedule and wide-ranging training content and engaged in lively discussions with the lecturers during each lecture. As a result, the training as a whole was very fulfilling providing the trainees with a valuable opportunity to learn and gain many new insights.
Teaching hospitals in Mongolia have a short history and the Japan-Mongolia Hospital which was built in 2019 with Japanese Grant Aid is Mongolia's first teaching hospital. The Japan-Mongolia Hospital is the teaching hospital affiliated with the Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences in Ulaanbaatar and serves as a hub for advanced medical services. It is also expected to contribute to improving medical services in Mongolia as the hub for education and research in the future.
Tokushima University has formed a consortium with Ehime University and Koei Research & Consulting Co., Ltd. since 2017 to promote international exchange and medical development through the Japan-Mongolia Hospital Project (a JICA-commissioned project) which will serve as an affiliated hospital (teaching hospital) of the Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences.
