The MITA Fukuoka Chapter was established and had its first monthly meeting in Fukuoka on 7 March 2008. The founders of MITA in Tokyo have encouraged the development of a Fukuoka group as an excellent way to keep valuable information flowing and connections growing in this area.
You do not have to be a medical translator or interpreter to
participate in the monthly meetings.
If you are interested in attending monthly meetings in Fukuoka, please
