Yamato was an EHC 2015 participant and is one of the fellows who get the honor to help you learn in the Bay Area this time. When Yamato participated in the program, it gave him the greatest chance to change his learning attitude from a slight passive one into a greatly motivated and ambitious one. As a medical student, he thinks his role here is not only to generally guide you all to have a meaningful, exciting, and safe experience in the Bay Area, but to specifically share the insights he got through experiencing both the Japanese and US medical education. In this way, he hopes to be a model medical student that you can refer to in your years in medical school to come. He looks forward to seeing and getting to know all of you.
