The frequency rate of Japanese AC (That' alternating current electricity, not air con) is different from American AC. It's the reason why American alarm clocks run slow when plugged mains electricity in Japan. You need a mains converter.

Look on your XBOX's power brick. The other language besides english is...........JAPANESE. Yes, Microsoft sells the same power brick for Japan and America, because the standards are almost identical. So, your XBOX power brick is already set up to use Japanese power. The only thing is you couldn't go buy an XBOX game there and put it in your console. (good luck finding an XBOX game anyways). there is a chip in the console that prevents Japanese or European games from being played on an american 360 i have no idea about the status of XBOX live there, so i can't comment on that. And the AV cables are universal, so no problem there as long as where you are going has a tv with Video inputs. PS- Most of your other electronics will work too, unless they are not rated for 100 V or need a 3-pronged plug. Check the manuals or power cords before you go. Have a great trip!!!

What percent of American doctors go to Japan to work
What percent of American doctors go to Japan to work?
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.
