More doc!

MEXT (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology) of Japan announced on August 5 that the total enrollment number of medical department of all the Japanese universities will be increased up to 8,280 in 2009, which is 500 more than 7,793 in 2008. 

The Japanese youth tend to avoid being a doctor because the job is tough and takes risk of human lives. When a medical mistake happens, media and the public become absolutely critical.
