In 2023, Fujita Health University (FHU) has celebrated its 55th anniversary. Under the founding principle of "Our Creativity for the People.", we have established FUJITA VISION 2030, with a new slogan "Becoming Fujita Academy as the first responder,” tackling many social issues such as large-scale disasters and emerging infectious disease pandemics.
One of the features of our university is the cutting-edge practical training experience and research conducted at the four university hospitals. Teaching University Hospitals provide distinctive medical care and the main Fujita Health University Hospital received JCI reaccreditation in December 2021 with the implementation of international standard medical care. The hospital is also certified as a core disaster base hospital and the Advanced Emergency & Critical Care Center, taking an important role in supporting wide-area disaster medical care in the Chubu region. Progressing toward its "hospital resilience," we also introduce an air ambulance and solar power generation, and also commit to train all students to obtain the license of the disaster prevention specialists.
In the field of research, our leading research centers, International Center for Brain Science, Fujita Cancer Center, International Center for Cell and Gene Therapy, and Center for Infectious Disease Research are contributing the advances in global medicine. We are also one of the two private universities selected for the JST’s Program on Open Innovation Platforms for Industry-academia Co-creation (COI-NEXT). It has laid the foundation for our efforts to create a healthy city through industry-government-academia collaboration. Currently, we are aiming toward certification as a translational research support organization by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, with the ultimate goal of highly advanced research and its practical application in medicine.
In June 2022, we hosted “THE Asia Universities Summit 2022” for the first time in Japan. Nobel laureates, presidents of major universities in Japan and abroad, and experts gathered to discuss how universities can tackle many social issues, including human resource development.
Other main issues include the medical information system reform. In view of the national medical DX 2030, we are currently working to create an infrastructure that will enable the secondary use of medical data for clinical research and healthcare areas.
Our university is to foster students who can think, judge, and act independently. They study medicine to become medical professionals who are both intelligent, ethical, and have the flexibility to proactively respond to the various changes of this age. We work together as one team of “ALL FUJITA” in becoming medical professionals who contribute to society and pioneer a new age.
