What percent of American doctors go to Japan to work? And how much is it each semester (in dollars) for a good medical school in Japan?

Guess the percentage of American doctors going to Japan, and the amount of tuition per semester, for the meantime, is irrelevant in your case. You may perhaps master Niponggo first, and when you're there, you may inquire what med school you may want, and in what area, say Tokyo, etc. They also will not be using the usual English medical books, that's why.

The answer to your question: a very, very, very small percent. Probably less than 0.1%...a few may go to teach medical English or PBL (problem-based learning) at a med school and another few may get pharma jobs...but either way, they are likely not doing actual patient care. (NOTE: There may be one or two exceptions to the rule.) Current rules stipulate that in order to practice and prescribe in Japan, you need to pass the Japanese equivalent of the USMLE (United States Medical Licensing Exam). The Japanese exam is given 1-2x/year, only in Japanese. You will need to know on the order of 2k to 3k kanji to pass this exam, not to mention understanding grammar, of course. I hear the content of the exams is largely the same. Every few years I hear a rumour that the Japanese government is planning to relax the rules...but it hasnt happened in the 10 years I`ve been following the subject. As for tuition, expect to pay $8000-$10000/year for a "state" medical institution, and upwards of $40,000/year for a private medical school. Financial aid, I believe, is rare.

You need a four year degree to qualify for a work visa, and a job offer before you get there. Japan doesn't use inches, they use the metric system.

What is it like to work in IT in Japan

What is it like to work in IT in Japan?
I'm 22 and will be finishing college soon, and I'm thinking about starting my career abroad, specifically in Japan. From what I understand its a pain to get a worker's visa and there's a lot of competition for jobs, so I was just wondering if there are any gijene out there who are living and working in Japan and could tell me a little about this, and if maybe I should pick another country....I have experience as a Network admin and I'm getting my degree in computer science.

You seem to already know what you are talking about, here is my experience. I work in engineering, which is heavily based in IT. This is not an apple to apple comparison, but maybe I can shed some light on your goals. When I was nearing graduation I also had the same ambition as you. I looked for work and life went a different way, but I ended up being transferred to Japan, only after 6 years of working in engineering. Basically, as a gaijin emloyee you need to bring something extra to the table that justifies your hiring and visa sponsorship. You need to have something that shows you add to the company's bottom line, directly or indirectly based on your contributions. In my case, I brought local US market and workflow experience that was applied to the R&D of large systems that we sell around the world. There are opportunities for you. It may not come right after graduation, and you will have to keep looking. I suggest after you are hired by a company you continue to build your resume with all of the certificates and training. Try to look for work in a company and the sub division of that company that does work on a global scale. Try to get your experience in the IT Admin world and then branch off into a project that is profit based. FYI, IT is usually considered a cost center and where engineering or research projects are considered profit centers.
