Bridging Cultures, Healing People: How a Japanese Naval Surgeon and Rural Minnesota Doctor Connected Over Patient Care
Kazuki Sumiyama, M.D., Ph.D., Jikei University School of Medicine, Minato, Japan
Jamie Newman, M.D., M.H.A., Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.

Two physicians, of vastly different backgrounds met and found common ground in their approach to patient care. In 1906, Baron Takaki came to Rochester, and a year later, at 89 years old, Dr. William Worrall Mayo travelled to Japan. During this lecture, participants will gain insight into the relationship between these two physicians as well as Baron Takaki’s medical advances in treating Beri Beri disease.
