Trainee doctors are avoiding working in Fukushima | Fukushima Diary

Trainee doctors are avoiding working in Fukushima | Fukushima Diary

To avoid the meaningless irradiation, trainee doctors are avoiding applying for hospitals in Fukushima.

One of the Fukushima hospitals, Ohara general hospital, there used to be 6 openings for trainee doctors but just one person applied this year. They re-started recruiting since November.

Even students at Fukushima medical university, which is the only university with a medical department in Fukushima, are trying to leave Fukushima.

The student(22) from Tokyo says, considering the risk of radiation, I don’t want to remain in Fukushima.

Another student(20) from Minami soma says, because of the fukushima accident, if the number of children decreases, I’ll be in less demand.

He has been wanting to train in pediatrics.
