SYSTEMIZING INTERNATIONAL ACADEMIC EXCHANGES AND THE ENROLLMENT OF STUDY ABROAD STUDENTS AND SUSTAINING THAT APPROACH: SEEKING TO ESTABLISH FURTHER COOPERATIVE FRAMEWORKS IN SEMEY AND JAPAN (KOCHI AND HIROSHIMA)
Background: As Semey Medical University, Kochi University, Hiroshima University, and Hiroshima International University are all globalizing, they are also engaging in international exchanges.
Objective: To describe our new efforts to systematize international academic exchanges and support for study abroad.
Materials and Methods: This study (A) describes recent efforts to establish a system to facilitate research by PhD students and to enroll study abroad students at Semey Medical University and various Japanese educational institutions (such as Kochi University, Hiroshima University, and Hiroshima International University); and (B) discusses a new perspective to further facilitate research by PhD students at Semey Medical University based on (A).
Results: (A) Once a month, the authors of this report who work in the Department of Psychiatry and Narcology, Semey Medical University and the Research and Education Faculty, Medical Sciences Cluster, Health Service Center, Kochi University provide advice and guidance on research to PhD students in the Department of Psychiatry and Narcology, Semey Medical University in an online meeting. Additional online meetings are held several times a month as necessary, and discussions take place in face-to-face meetings several times a year. We also frequently provide research guidance and assistance by e-mail. We have enrolled PhD students from Semey Medical University to study abroad in Japan with the cooperation of Kochi University, Hiroshima University, Hiroshima International University and other institutions, and we are also supporting these students’ study in Japan.
Conclusions: We will continue to fully support these students in obtaining their degrees (B). We will also continue to further facilitate our international efforts in academia and study abroad. We will seek to have governments, relevant institutions and personnel, at the university level as well as the national and regional levels, understand these efforts and we will solicit their support when necessary.
