Dawn of Choosing Wisely Japan Student Committee

On October 15th, 2016, Choosing Wisely Japan kickoff seminar was held in Suidobashi, Tokyo, Japan. Choosing Wisely is a global campaign aiming reduction in overdiagnosis and overtreatment. In Japan, leaders in medical field gathered and took initiative in launching Choosing Wisely Japan, raising awareness of Choosing Wisely in Japan. At the same time, we, a group of interested medical students, started Choosing Wisely Japan Student Committee, and learning how to practice highvalue care through initiating studentled conversations on Choosing Wisely. We found three standpoints explaining the significance of student’s engagement in this campaign.
