Are doctors high in demand in Japan?
Yes, for a doctor (medicine) , is it safe to say that it is a high-demand job in Japan?
As far as I know....doctors are always in demand, anywhere ^_^ |

Ok, so....is it easire for doctors to find a job in Japan?

Don't think they would hire a foreign doctor in a public hospital but a private practice might if you were completely fluent in Japanese or in an area with a large foreign population.

I have heard that doctors are not so much in demand in Japan, and are not as well paid as in some other countries.
Also, the doctors can claim all kinds of specialties, so there's a lot of overlap and competition. |

Where are you hearing these things? You think people in Japan get injured less than people in other countries? Can you source some of these claims? |
"You think people in Japan get injured less than people in other countries?"
Of course not;-) I hear complaints about competition and compensation mainly from friends who are physicians here in Tokyo. As for salary rates, you can just google it. Japan's average salary for medical doctors is 79% of that for US doctors. (Source: General Physician Salaries - International Comparison. Obtained from data provided to the International Labour Organization by government agencies) |
In the public hospital and the university hospital, salaries are lows.
Medical practitioner's revenue is high oppositely. Because the insurance etc. are cheap though it is a low more a little than the doctor in the United States in case of average proceeds, the difference is lost. If annual salaries are simply compared, the difference grows because the form of wages is greatly different. |
