The University Hospital is a general medical facility where both undergraduates in medical school and post-graduate trainees receive clinical education and do research by taking part in highest quality medical practice primarily oriented toward the benefit of our patients. Our hospital has a medical practice system fully worked out to function as an advanced treatment hospital and regional core hospital with advanced medical practice and training, and also functions as a Core Hospital for AIDS Treatment, as a core hospital in case of disaster, as an emergency hospital, as an institution for organ donation, and as a regional designated cancer care hospital.
   What makes our hospital different from other hospitals is that we are doing research in health management of employees, occupation-induced diseases, work-related illnesses, rehabilitation, and mental health, and are providing treatment for the diseases. We are also making efforts to keep a close coordination between occupational health and community medicine.
   We are trying to develop safety measures to prevent medical accidents and in-hospital infections. We are also attempting to improve the quality and efficiency of medical practice by disclosing information and introducing the clinical path system.
