General Medicine

Director BAN, Nobutaro (Professor)   11W

The department where patients can seek for help whenever they are not sure which specialities are appropriate

Our department provides comprehensive medicine, which takes into consideration the physical and mental aspects of patients, patient's family, and society.

Medical Care System

Nine academic personnel (including academic personnel of center for medical education, department of education for community-oriented medicine, and department of community health care system development), five doctors, two senior residents, two registered trainee doctors, and two health care providers provide medical care every day to patients in two to three revisit outpatient examination rooms and three to four first-visit outpatient examination rooms and 10 inpatients beds.

Target Disease

We provide medical care to patients for whom a certain department cannot be specified. If a patient needs to see a specialist, we refer the patient to a specialized department. We also accept consultations from specialized departments.

Strong Fields

We identify various health problems of patients, interpret them comprehensively, and finally solve them. We consider prevention, medicine, and welfare as a continuum and are involved in each component.

Clinical Results

The daily number of revisit outpatients is about 60, and the daily number of first-visit outpatients is 15 to 20. For inpatient medical care, we are in charge of 8 beds and see two to five patients as a consultant. We also provide support for emergency department visits during operating hours by seeing emergency patients other than those transported by an ambulance during the day-shift. We accept about 30 consultations from other departments a month.

Specialized Outpatient Clinic

We do not have outpatient clinics for specific diseases and organs.

Advanced Medicine and Research

We conduct various researches such as research on education, research on medical care, and epidemiological research. What is common among these researches is that it is based on questions and the needs arising in clinical settings or medical education.
