The Institute for Medieval Japanese Studies, founded in 1968, is an international liaison and research center designed primarily to serve European and American scholars in all disciplines whose main area of study focuses on pre-Meiji era Japan.

The overall purpose of the Institute is to encourage research on neglected aspects of premodern Japanese civilization, especially during the medieval period (primarily, but not exclusively, the Kamakura and Muromachi periods 1185-1600), centuries which, until the 1970s, had received scarce attention by Japanese and Western scholars alike.

Japense students are now finding that the medical field may be one of the safest bet industries out there. What used to be a culture that produced many workers in the fields of technology and the auto industry is not producing loads of doctors and physician assistants.

These careers not only pay well but are very solid and leave a lot of room for growth. Even a physician assistants salary is very livable and has been rivaling what many of these prospective workers might make working in the tech  industry. These were also verified to us by physician assistant salary.

Another contributing factor to all of this is the fact that these jobs that used to be considered the Japanese bread and butter like the auto inudstry and technology are now becoming extremely saturated. This is a big reason that there has been such a change in tides towards these medical jobs. The future of medicine seems to be stronger and less saturated due to the amount of work necassary to be employed in these fields.

Japanese work ethic has always been extremely strong and that is a big reason why they have done so well generation after generation. This new medical revolution may just end up being another example of an industry that will be propelled by strong Japanese work ethic.
