ALS contract murder case One doctor may get a doctor's license illegally July 19 19:13

It is possible that one of the doctors arrested for killing a woman suffering from intractable disease and ALS at the request of his own may have obtained a doctor's license illegally because he graduated from the medical school of an overseas university. I understood from the interview. The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has been contacted by the police and has begun to investigate the details.

Of the two doctors arrested according to the people involved, Susumu Okubo (42) worked as a medical technician at the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare after graduating from university, and a national examination for doctor licenses from 2008 to 2009. It means that you belonged to a department related to.

After that, in 2018, I opened a clinic in Miyagi Prefecture.

On the other hand, according to the people involved, it seems that Naoki Yamamoto (43) met Dr. Okubo when he was a student at another university in Japan with a medical school.

However, Dr. Yamamoto had dropped out of this university, and after that, there was something unnatural about how he became a doctor.

According to a person involved, when he took the national examination for doctors in 2010, Dr. Yamamoto applied to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare that he had graduated from a medical school of an overseas university.

However, when the police contacted this university, they could not confirm the fact that they had graduated, and it is possible that they may have obtained a doctor's license illegally by deciding to graduate from an overseas medical school.

One of the conditions for taking a national examination for a doctor is that you have graduated from a medical school in a Japanese university or a medical school abroad.

Furthermore, for those who have graduated from an overseas medical school, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare will examine whether or not they have the same academic ability or skills as those who have graduated from a medical school in Japan.

The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare was contacted by the police and began investigating the details of how Dr. Yamamoto took the test.
