Abstract
The legacies of Jefferson men to Japanese medicine are portrayed in early and recent contacts: 1) Japanese physicians attended the Gross Clinic in 1860. The significant fact is that this was the very first visit made in over 240 years during which time Japan had been in self-imposed seclusion from foreign countries. 2) Dr. John C. Berry, a Jefferson alumnus, came to Japan in 1872 and served as a doctor, teacher, prison reformer, and founder of a hospital and a training school for nurses. He dedicated himself for 22 years to the service of religious and humanitarian fields in Japan. 3) A group of 104 Jeffersonians visited Japan in 1975, and programs of medical seminars, Visits to hospitals and institutions were featured. 4) The influence of Drs. Chevalier Jackson and Louis H. Clerf contributed greatly toward development and growth of bronchoesophagology in Japan. A gratifying fact is that bronchoesophagology was legally sanctioned as a fullfledged specialty in 1953.
