New Project to Support Medical School Entrance Exams 2026 "Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter" Launched! "My Medical School Entrance Counseling Session" Decided for May 16th & 23rd!!

Education Public Relations Co., Ltd. (Location: Tokyo, Representative: [Name]) is holding the "My Medical School Entrance Counseling Session - Spring," targeting "everyone aspiring to be a doctor," on Saturday, May 16th in Osaka and Saturday, May 23rd in Tokyo. This counseling session is part of a new project launched to support medical school entrance exams throughout the year, starting with the "Medical School Entrance Information Magazine ForM" to be published in January 2026. It aims to provide early information gathering opportunities starting from "Spring," leading to the "Summer" entrance counseling session and guide, and then to the "Autumn" "My Medical School Entrance Counseling Session - Autumn." At each venue, private medical universities from across the country will gather, setting up "fully private booths." Visitors (students, parents, etc.) can ask university representatives any questions they want in a private space. Additionally, general "Information Sessions" will be held, allowing visitors to learn about the unique appeal of each university. Practical support plans for medical school entrance exams are also enhanced, including an "Advice Corner" by Sundai Medical School Preparatory School and a "Study Consultation Session" with current medical students who graduated from Meimonkai. To ensure participants can attend with peace of mind, the event is supported by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. It serves as the "first step" for junior high school students, high school students, and prospective applicants aiming for medical school admission. ■ Characteristics of "My Medical School Entrance Counseling Session - Spring" As a counseling session held in May, it offers the advantage of responding to inquiries not only about general entrance exams but also about recommendation-based admissions and comprehensive selection. For junior high school students and new high school 1st and 2nd graders, it provides an opportunity to learn about the unique appeal of universities through "individual consultations" and "university-specific information sessions," taking the first step towards medical school entrance exams. Furthermore, booths will be set up with original materials useful for exam preparation, leveraging advertising production know-how, such as an "Open Campus Schedule List," and information booths in cooperation with multiple educational institutions. ■ Event Outline 【Dates】 Osaka Venue: Saturday, May 16th Tokyo Venue: Saturday, May 23rd 【Time】 11:00 - 16:00 * Free entry and exit * Admission possible without reservation 【Venues】 Tennoji Mio Hall 10-39 Hidenincho, Tennoji Ward, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture, Tennoji Mio Honkan 12F Shinagawa Front Building 2-3-13 Shinagawa, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Shinagawa Front Building B1F 【Target Audience】 All individuals aspiring to be doctors, their guardians, and personnel from junior high schools, high schools, cram schools, and preparatory schools. 【Participation Fee】 Free Participation reservations are accepted on our special website!
