On August 13th, JMSA held its annual summer party at Guzan Japanese Restaurant in the Upper East Side. As always, this fun mid-year event was a great opportunity to talk, network, and catch up over delicious sushi and drinks. Current JMSA members were joined by many new faces, including researchers, residents, medical students, and even visitors from Japan. Participants commonly talked about the differences in medical care and education between Japan and USA, transitioning to living and working in NY, and plans regarding their medical careers moving forward. JMSA hopes to organize many more events throughout the rest of the year, so please be on the look out for future emails.
