Hello all 🙂

Hello all 🙂

Olivia here,

We have an assignment for foreign residents in Japan who used clinics/medical services in Japan before, from a Kuma i reader (Matthew Porter);

Please read information below :

I teach at Fukuoka Jo Gakuin Nursing University and have been awarded a grant from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS). (Edited to correct name.)

I am passionate about improving health care for foreign and international patients in Japan. To that end, I’m collecting stories from people who’ve experienced Japanese health care, with a focus on differing expectations and interesting experiences. Basically, stories I can share with my nursing students so they can begin to recognize what they should consider when caring for someone who might not be used to the health care system here.

I want to represent the most numerous populations and I’m having an awful time finding people from countries like China, Korea, Vietnam, and the Philippines, who would be willing to share their stories in English. I’ve managed to gather about 30 (of 100) stories and have developed a method for their use in class.

*Dateline is few more months,

Here’s the website created explaining the project I’ve actually had the best luck with women from the US, Canada, and Indonesia. I am aiming for a balance of genders and a 1:4 ratio of native to non-native English speakers.
