【IMC Meet & Greet】
International Medical Center organized a “Meet & Greet” on December 18, 2025, just right before the end-of-the year holiday season. It was the first initiative for IMC to connect foreign medical professionals coming from all around the world in order to join the training program at UTH at the same period of time.

This time, 8 Fellows from China, Mexico, Philippines and Taiwan who are currently under the training at a wide variety of Divisions/Departments including Thoracic Surgery, Neurosurgery, Cardiovascular Surgery, Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery, Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, Nephrology and Endocrinology, Rehabilitation Medicine got together in the room overlooking the magnificent view of the east side of the city of Tokyo.

They enjoyed the opportunity to get to know each other and to expand their professional network that may bring them together over the years.

IMC serves as the institutional center for officially accepting international trainees at UTH and more than 200 healthcare professionals from nearly 40 countries and regions have completed our training programs since 2022.

【Clinical Observership Program】
Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, headed by Professor Minoru Ono, accepted a highly motivated surgeon from Mexico this month for the clinical observership program. Dr. Diego Hernandez Zamonsett, Senior Cardiothoracic Surgery Resident and Chief of Residents at the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (UMAE CMN La Raza) in Mexico, expresses the excitement he has been awarded:

"I am grateful for the opportunity to visit the University of Tokyo Hospital (UTH). My objective is to expand my experience in complex aortic pathology and mechanical circulatory support by observing the management of high-risk cases in this high-volume setting. I intend to analyze specific technical approaches and perioperative protocols used by the department, with the goal of acquiring insights that can be directly translated to refine surgical strategies at the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (UMAE CMN La Raza) in Mexico."

Dr. Zamonsett’s commitments and seamless efforts will continue with high professional vision for advancing cardiothoracic care in Mexico and Latin America.

【Clinical Observership Program】
Department of Infectious Diseases welcomed three Fellows from Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand.

Dr. Vongsakorn Limvongsakorn, Dr. Chayapat Rattanakitrungruang, Dr. Aliyavong Thammavong, second-year fellows in Infectious Diseases, participated in a three-week observership program and deepened their knowledge and skills in infectious control.

Dr. Limvongsakorn’s interest includes hospital infection control, antimicrobial stewardship and managing resistant pathogens and he has aspiration to become a clinician-educator and academic leader in the infection control area.

The objective of program participation for Dr. Rattanakitrungruang was to improve his understanding in the field of infectious control. He also has a strong passion of medical education and involved in giving lectures and organizing workshops for medical students.

Dr. Thammavong is originally from Lao People Democratic Republic. Prior to joining in a residency program at Siriraj Hospital in 2020 followed by Infectious Disease Fellowship in 2024, he was a General Practitioner at Mahosot Hospital in Lao P.D.R after graduation from medical school.

Three of them participated in a series of activities that include Medical Case Conference, Lab Round, Ward Round as well as a weekly ICT Round where they learned how multidisciplinary team-based in-hospital infection control efforts work.

In concluding their observership training, each of them made a case presentation for the medical staff of the Department of Infectious Diseases and were awarded a Certificate of Completion from Professor Takeya Tsutsumi. They further had an opportunity to share their thoughts and views to wrap up their three-week program at their farewell dinner hosted by Professor Tsutsumi.

Through gaining the cross-cultural aspects they experienced, this clinical observership program was a “career-defining experience”, they say. They have high hopes to become clinical leaders in the area of infectious disease control in the medical community in Asia.

【Clinical Observership Program】
Dr. Mariana Naomi Fujino, second-year resident specializing in Intensive Care Medicine at the Hospital Universitário São Francisco, Brazil, joined the Clinical Observership Program at the Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine for one month in November.

From academic and clinical perspective, her strong motivation to participate in the training at UTH is that at the time when she reached the stage in her residency program where she would begin participating in more advanced interventional treatments and she felt that observing high-level ICU care in Japan would be an invaluable learning experience which will contribute to her professional growth.

In addition, her personal connection to Japan is another aspiration for her. As Sansei of Japanese immigrants to Brazil, Dr. Fujino hopes to reconnect with her heritage and values deeply rooted in Japanese culture she admires from professional and immersive perspective on this visit.
