    　Although the problem of improving the retention rate of female physicians in Japan has been vigorously discussed, a more comprehensive discussion on gender equality has been lacking. This paper provides an overview of gender inequality in Japanese medicine and discusses measures to promote gender equality. The main causes of gender inequality include gender stereotype, bias, discrimination, women’s double burden of paid and domestic work, and a working system of long and irregular hours based on the gender division of labor. Measures to promote gender equality are necessary to create a working environment that does not disadvantage female physicians.

    　A crucial step in clarifying and consolidating the learning gained from simulations in healthcare is to debrief those simulation experiences-that is, to methodically review what happened and why. Leading a debriefing is a learned skill, and can be improved with practice and feedback. The Debriefing Assessment for Simulation in Healthcare （DASHTM） Handbook and Rating Forms are designed to assist in evaluating and developing debriefing skills. Additional information, rating forms, and contact information can be found at the DASH website: http:／／www.harvardmedsim.org／dash.html.

    　To improve hospital quality, the development of authorized clinical instructors is urgently needed. Therefore, we held a workshop to develop clinical instructors. At a monthly meeting of the clinical training committee in June 2014, an agenda for holding a workshop was proposed. At the meeting in July 2014, most committee members said they were reluctant to hold a workshop because of heavy clinical duties. However, the hospital president strongly suggested that a workshop might be a foundation for reforming the stagnated hospital and persuaded committee members to hold a workshop to improve the instructors’ skill in teaching residents. At the September meeting, the workshop schedule was discussed. All members of the taskforce, except the chief coordinator and a lecturer, were selected from hospital physicians, and 3 preparatory meetings and 1 rehearsal were held. With the help of administrative staff, our first workshop for clinical instructors was held at Daido Hospital in February 2014. Our workshop helped create new hopes for improving educational tasks at our teaching hospital and improved the educational skills of participants. We also achieved mutual understanding as a team to accomplish a single goal.
