Open official programme page ↗Verification notes
Eligibility and focus quotes are from the Japanese-language recruitment page; the English international-training page confirms acceptance of overseas fellows and observers but lists no formal terms. The same page also advertises a separate 2-year intensive aortic training course open from post-graduate year 3, which is not post-core and is NOT listed here.
