Summary
The Japan Primary Care Association (JPCA) was established in 2010 to provide accessible, continual, and comprehensive health care and relevant scientific activities to promote healthy lifestyles.[1]. The CIA introduced the international session at its 2012 annual conference. The CIA considered active international interaction critical to the responsible mission of the JPCA and determined that presentation of clinical and research work in English would provide opportunities for researchers to enhance their skills in domestic and international healthcare environments. The CIA encourages active participation in the sessions by domestic and international primary care scholars, and it believes that it is important to share the session goals and the accomplishments derived from the international session to support the participating scholars. This activity is believed to help them use the international session as a future resource.
