 note = {This article examines how and why a significant number of Okinawan islanders studied medicine in colonial Taiwan. Though the Japanese government had first introduced modern medicine to Okinawa during the late 19th century, it had never seriously invested in medical education. Even when the first medical school appeared in 1885, it soon closed in 1912. Wanting to become professional doctors but without any alternatives, many Okinawan students left their homes to seek education outside the prefecture. Meanwhile, the first medical school in Taiwan, which was established in 1899, enjoyed rapid expansion due to the colonial government-general's generous support. When the Taiwanese medical school began to accept Japanese students in 1918, it became one of the most popular options for Okinawan students seeking educations in medicine. From both archival and interview research, this paper explains how Okinawan youth decided to study in the colony and how they lived their lives after immigrating. While outlining the history of modern Okinawan medicine, this paper will demonstrate how student migration to colonial Taiwan was essential to Okinawa's medical development during the twentieth century., 紀要論文},
