Japan: In contrast, Japan’s challenge lies in attracting new people into the medical profession. The competitive and high-pressure environment of medical training, coupled with cultural expectations of long working hours, discourages young Japanese from pursuing medical careers, especially in rural areas. The Japanese government has been proactive, offering scholarships and loan forgiveness programs to medical students willing to serve in underserved areas, addressing both the shortage and maldistribution of healthcare professionals. Hungary: The Hungarian medical education system struggles with the emigration of its graduates, often referred to as the “brain drain.” Medical professionals are attracted to higher salaries and better working conditions in Western Europe, leading to a significant depletion of healthcare workers within the country. The Hungarian government has implemented incentives such as increasing wages and improved working conditions, however, people still do not feel the benefit of working in Hungary leading to the low employment of medical professionals. Japan: Japan faces significant barriers to internationalizing its medical education due to language constraints and a curriculum that remains rigid and localized. Efforts to attract international faculty and students are hampered by these challenges, limiting Japan’s participation in the global medical education community. However, there are growing initiatives to offer more programs in English and to participate in international research collaborations. Hungary: A substantial international student population in Hungarian medical schools presents both opportunities and challenges. While it brings additional revenue and global perspectives to the institutions, it also raises concerns about the language barrier between international students and Hungarian professors. Since so much knowledge depends on how it is delivered, the language barrier can bring about mismatches in the knowledge. However, on the other hand, it can also be said that unless Hungary does not overcome this barrier, it will never be properly “internationalized”. This section will focus on the adaptation to the American standard of medical education, especially the requirement for the Adaptation to Global StandardsUSMLE exam (United States Medical Licensing Examination; examination program for medical licensure in the US), as the 9 Medical education systems worldwide face numerous challenges, influenced by economic, demographic, and technological changes. Hungary and Japan encounter unique hurdles in training and retaining medical professionals, which is made more difficult by their integration into global medical standards and the effects of internationalization.
