The Hospital Clinical Research Group (Pathology Division) performs morphological diagnosis of all cells, tissues, and organs submitted from outpatient clinics, inpatient wards, and operating rooms at University of Tsukuba Hospital. Pathologists and cytopathologists diagnose tiny tissue fragments obtained by endoscopy and liquid specimens such as pleural effusion, ascites, and sputum, and communicate the results to clinicians. Together with the Diagnostic Radiology Division, the Pathology Division plays a role in keeping the hospital's diagnostic accuracy at a high level. The Pathology Division's page introduces the Tsukuba Human Tissue Diagnosis Center for diagnostic services provided outside the hospital, and the Basic Research Support Division of the Tsukuba Human Tissue Biobank Center for research support.

The Rehabilitation Division conducts clinical research in rehabilitation medicine through its clinical care at University of Tsukuba Hospital. In daily clinical care, it explores how to smoothly reduce the difficulties in daily life that patients face because of physical impairments caused by illness or injury. Its aims are to clarify the factors that hinder recovery, to improve and develop treatment techniques and related devices, to improve quality of life, and to explore ways to practice multidisciplinary team-based care smoothly. The lab's website introduces it under the name "Rehabilitation Division."

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."

The Clinical Medical Management Department supports University of Tsukuba Hospital in providing good medical care. The department views hospital risk management on three levels (individual, organization, and hospital), and is involved in all three to make sure the measures at each level connect well and are carried out reliably. Besides educational activities on how team-based care should work, how to write medical records, and communication techniques, the department also works on finding error-prone procedures and planning measures to prevent errors. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name 'Medical Safety Management Department.'

The Social Health Medicine Lab conducts research that uses epidemiology to identify the causes of lifestyle-related diseases such as stroke, ischemic heart disease, dementia, hypertension, and diabetes in communities and workplaces. The lab also uses existing data such as administrative data to understand community issues and evaluate health policies. It aims to return its research results to society in cooperation with local residents, local governments, and medical institutions, by making recommendations for municipal, prefectural, and national administrative policies and by putting the results into practice as health policies and preventive activities. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name 'Social Health Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of Tsukuba.'

The Health Services Research Lab comprehensively and scientifically evaluates and analyzes the quality of medical services (including nursing, health, and welfare) using health services research methods. Through interdisciplinary research results based on empirical data, the lab aims to contribute to realizing health care that is in harmony with daily life. The lab examines issues not only from a medical perspective but also from the perspectives of policy studies, law, economics, sociology, and anthropology, and shares its results in Japan and abroad. Because Prof. Tamiya retired at the end of FY2025, graduate students entering from FY2026 who focus mainly on health services research will be accepted by Associate Professor Watanabe, Project Professor Sugiyama, and others, and supported by a team that includes assistant professors.

The Clinical Trials and Clinical Epidemiology Lab studies the development of theories and methods for clinical trials and clinical epidemiology, as well as their application. Through clinical research in a variety of disease areas, the lab aims to present evidence for disease control. The lab's page introduces an epidemiology group and a biostatistics group. The lab states that patient care in everyday clinical practice has always relied on the results of some form of medical research.

The Social Mental Health Lab studies mental health problems that are becoming more serious against the backdrop of social change, such as social withdrawal (hikikomori), child abuse, alcohol and drug dependence, and crime. People with a wide range of specialties and backgrounds gather here, including medicine, psychology, nursing, health sciences, and social welfare. The lab's fieldwork is not limited to medical institutions. It includes forensic psychiatric evaluation, judicial and correctional institutions, welfare facilities, self-help groups, schools, and workplaces. Participant observation, in which analysis is carried out while providing treatment and counseling services, is the foundation of the lab's research.

The International Social Medicine Lab conducts action-oriented, problem-solving research aimed at solving global health problems. The lab works collaboratively with people from various fields, beyond the boundaries of labs and universities. Students may come from any undergraduate major. They take up research after acquiring the basic knowledge of epidemiology and statistics needed for social medicine research. The lab's website has pages on discussions of traffic accident countermeasures and measures for elderly drivers, and on a project to improve living environments to protect children in Mongolia from burn injuries.
