JMSA hosts a successful wine and cheese party!

On 3/1/24, JMSA hosted a wine and cheese party at the Apple Ophthalmology office of Dr. Kichiemon Asoma and Dr. Naomi Hayashi, JMSA board members. The event was successful with over 50 people attending. Attendees included board members, members, students, and those interested in learning more about JMSA. Over wine and cheese, the gathering was informal and friendly.
During the evening, Ms. Riki Ito, a leader of the NY Japanese American Lions Club and Vice President of JAA, talked to the group about her recent trip to the region that was hit hard by the Noto Earthquake and JMSA encouraged attendees to consider donating to the NY Japanese American Lions Club Noto Earthquake disaster fund. We were very honored that Dr. Jitsuhiro Yamada, Lions Clubs International Foundation Chairperson and past International President, attended our reception with Ms. Riki Ito and JMSA member and NY JAL member Dr. Mari Morimoto. Dr. Miho Urisaka, A JMSA member, generously donated multiple 1/2 dozen packs of fresh organic eggs from her family farm, Cucumber Hill Farm in Putnam Valley, NY. The attendees really enjoyed connecting with each other, learning more about JMSA mission and programs in an informal, welcoming atmosphere. JMSA hopes to have another wine and cheese in the fall. Special thanks to our social chairperson, Ms. Lydia Horiguchi for putting together a delicious cheese platter and to Dr. Kichiemon Asoma, Dr. Naomi Hayashi and Dr. Teru Hayashi and staff for graciously allowing us to have the reception at their beautiful office on W. 38th street.

We sincerely look forward to collaborating with CAMS-CAIPA as we support the health and welfare of the Asian and Asian-American communities.

Thank you very much to all that attended Dr. Lee’s presentation “Navigating the U.S. Residency System as an International Medical Graduate”. Dr. Lee covered a variety of topics regarding the U.S. residency application such as match statistics, sub-internships, what programs are looking for, personal statements, interview advice, recommendation letters, and more! This was followed by the group of panelists that answered questions many international medical graduates had.

For those that were unable to attend, we have provided a recording of the session below!

Thank you very much to all that helped to host the event, and we hope that the session provided participants with information to help you successfully navigate the U.S. residency application.

We look forward to seeing you at our future events!

Mayor Adams' Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Reception 2023:
Maki Kano Lydia Horiguchi Mio Sawai and Mari Morimoto attended the reception on 5/23/23. Over 600 guests attended but we were one of a few people to represent the Japanese community.

JMSA had a great turnout at the Japan Parade 2023

JMSA had a great turnout at the Japan Parade 2023 on 5/13/23. It was the first time to participate. We had almost 40 marchers comprised of JMSA Board members, members, family, friends, and office staff. Everyone had a great time and we were proud to represent JMSA as we marched down Central Park West on a beautiful Saturday. Dr. Makoto Iwahara, a past president, took the prize for having the most family members there and Dr. Kichiemon Asoma, a JMSA board member, took the prize for having the most staff members from his office participate.

We held signs that described JMSA’s programs such as mentoring and health care education. We wore matching t-shirts that were designed by Mari Iwahara. We gave away 80 toy stethoscopes to spectators and wore silly sunglasses.

Many marchers were already discussing plans for the 2024 parade such as ways to have more interaction with the spectators. Board member Dr. Naomi Hayashi’s daughter Kimberly Wei stole the show as Rilakkumma.

The Japan parade was a great opportunity to spread the word about JMSA to the community and it was a great way to bring JMSA members and their families together!
