About International Exchange

The Japanese Society of Health and Medical Sociology is aiming to promote the cross-country exchange of medical sociologists. Participation and collaboration with the International Sociological Association is one of our prominent academic activities. Intellectual exchange with health and medical sociologists who are actively working in Asian-Pacific Countries is another one of our priorities.

In order to achieve these two goals, the society launched an international exchange committee in 2009.
