AboutAbout the lab
Treating a wide range of health problems, beyond any single organ
The Hospital Clinical Research Group (General Internal Medicine) is a clinical department that is not limited to any particular organ and responds broadly to the health problems patients have.
From the specialized perspective of general medicine, it diagnoses and manages patients with common symptoms such as headache and fever, as well as patients with multiple health problems.
In addition to care from an angle different from organ-based specialties, such as the smoking cessation clinic and the Kampo clinic, it provides support through counseling and medication prescriptions at the smoking cessation clinic and the alcohol reduction clinic as preventive medicine efforts.
The University of Tsukuba Hospital website introduces it under the name "Department of General Medicine."
Key terms

ResearchResearch themes
This department sees patients with symptoms for which it is hard to tell which department to visit, patients with multiple symptoms, and patients whose symptoms seem to be influenced by psychological or social factors. If the examination shows that specialist care is needed, it refers the patient immediately to the appropriate specialty department; after the treatment plan has been decided and the condition has stabilized, it refers the patient back to the referring physician or a nearby medical institution.
