title: [Differences between Graduate School Systems between Japan and the United States].
abstract: The differences in graduate school systems and their curriculum between Japan and the United State stem from their objectives, which are adjusted toward needs in each society. To encourage Japanese MDs to enter graduate school, two approaches are needed: improving the quality of graduate education, and foster interest in research and career in academia while students are in medical school.
