On December 19, the second UI-NRH-UOEH Joint Interesting Occupational Medicine Regular Forum was held by 3 institutions, University of Indonesia (UI), Nopalat Rajatanee Hospital (NRH), Thailand and UOEH, Japan which have signed MOU.

The purpose of this forum is to provide occupational medicine residents from each facility with an opportunity to present and discuss their work in English and to understand each other's occupational medicine legal systems and practices in the three countries.

The forum consists of presentations by occupational medicine residents from the host country and discussions among occupational medicine residents from the 3 institutions. UOEH participated in from this 2nd forum after signing an MOU with UI in December.

After opening remarks by President Yutaka Otsuji and Prof. Susumu Ueno, Director of the Institute of Industrial and Ecological Sciences, a presentation on "Noise induced hearing loss "Commonly founded but not easy to manage'" was given by an occupational medicine resident at NRH, the host of the forum, followed by a lively discussion among the residents.

The forum was very meaningful, with over 100 participants from the 3 institutions in total.

The next forum will be held in March 23, 2023, hosted by the UOEH, Japan.
