Hi, I'm A Garu from China. I’m in the 4^th year of the Ph.D. course at the Department of Internal Medicine, Neurology Unit (Internal Medicine Ⅲ). In Japan, I was fortunate to meet excellent and knowledgeable professors, and I learned a lot of clinical testing skills, which will benefit me a lot in my future career. Firstly, I completed three research projects during my Ph.D. period and published some valuable papers. It has improved my academic level a lot. Secondly, I learned a lot of advanced clinical detection methods. As a physician, I have gained a lot of new knowledge in clinical practice. Thirdly, I admire Japan's prudent and meticulous working spirit, which is worth learning from.
   I grew up in the grasslands, so I especially yearn for the sea. Izumo is a beautiful and quiet city located by the sea. Every time I feel strong pressure in studying, I climb a mountain around here with my husband. Watching the sea makes our life very interesting and healthy.
   Shimane University is a great national university with very knowledgeable and friendly teachers. It is hoped that more and more international students from more countries will be admitted to Shimane University, so that the learning atmosphere of Shimane University will be more diversified, and then there will be more academic interactions to improve international reputations.
   If you are interested in studying at the Faculty of Medicine at Shimane University, you will have a very fulfilling and active student life. Here, you will meet international students from multiple countries, and you can interact and discuss academic issues to expand your knowledge. It's quiet and safe to concentrate on studying, and I'm sure anyone who comes to study here will fall in love with this school and this city.
