Hiroshi Kusunoki, MD, PhD Department of Internal Medicine, Osaka Dental University Abstract 　The rise of social media has fundamentally transformed the governance challenges faced by universities, academic societies, and other public institutions. Decisions that were once managed largely within organizations can now rapidly become matters of public controversy, exposing institutions to intense external scrutiny and pressure.

Akihiko Ozaki, M.D., Ph.D. Physician at the Medical Governance Research Institute To explain it again, "Chokubi" is a term for doctors who go "straight" or “direct” (choku) into aesthetic medicine (bi) immediately after finishing their initial clinical residency, without first passing through a university medical department or a general hospital.
