The session opened with very insightful and educational lectures from two oversea female doctors, who already achieved great work both in professional and extracurricular life. Followingly, Japanese female experts from various field made vastly informative and impressive lectures, which gives us high expectations to the further activity of Japanese female doctors in world stage.
