本村和久 (沖縄県立中部病院)

I work at Okinawa Prefecture in Japan. Okinawa Prefecture is the southwestern-most prefecture in Japan, extending over an area of ocean measuring 1,000 km from East to West, and comprising 57 islands (42 of which are inhabited), and Okinawa Prefecture has 16 prefectural clinics at remote islands. I had worked at two remote island as the solo practitioner. I am working to develop a network of young rural doctors and medical students with an interest in
rural practice at Okinawa, too. Now I am a program director of the residency program of family physician at Okinawa Chubu Hospital supporting 16 prefectural remote islands clinics and chairperson of the Rural Practice committee in Japan Primary Care Association.
