We read an interesting article by Chang et al1 that had similar results to ours. Chang et al1 administered a questionnaire survey to medical students who participated in a 2-week summer camp; they concluded that early clinical exposure is important for medical professionalism and interprofessional collaboration.1 Our research consisted of interviews with medical professionals working in the field in local communities in Japan. This study was conducted with the approval of the appropriate ethical committee (approval \\#22-001) and informed consent was obtained both verbally and in writing from all participants.  \nWe interviewed 10 nurses, social workers, care managers, and care workers with extensive experience in teaching interprofessional collaboration in rural parts of Japan in 2022. The main topic of the interview was what Japanese medical students should learn about interprofessional collaboration as future leaders of their healthcare teams. We identified the following four categories: (1) understanding the importance of clinical experience (early exposure),(2) understanding the roles of other professions,(3) cultivating professionalism, and (4) understanding the importance of nonmedical solutions. The Table 1 depicts examples of interviewees’ comments. Despite the significant differences in methodology and participants between our study and that of Chang et al,1 the results of both studies (as well asthe Taiwanese students’ comments) show a common recognition that professionalism and communication with patients, families, and other people with different occupations are important. This suggests that the message about the significance of early clinical exposure conveyed by Chang et al1 may transcend national and cultural differences.  \n* Address correspondence.
