Abstract. This article reviews developments in medicine and clinical psychology research conducted overseas over the past decade. A literature search was conducted focusing on major advances originating outside of the United States in the areas of cancer research, genetics, neuroscience, mental health treatment models, and use of technology for improved patient care and outcomes. Highlights discussed include the discovery in China of cancer stem cells leading to new immunotherapies, identification of risk genes for Alzheimer’s disease progression, development of online cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) programs in Australia, and implementation of artificial intelligence for mental health screening and diagnosis in Japan. Analysis suggests overseas research has greatly contributed to biomedical knowledge, clinical practice guidelines, and access to evidence-based care globally, leading to improved patient health internationally. However, challenges remain in dissemination and equitable delivery of new medical technologies across different countries
