Academic information

It has been 165 years, in 2022, the founding of the Nagasaki University School of Medicine, the oldest medical school in Japan. From the days of the School establishment by Dutch navy surgeon J.L.C. Pompe van Meerdervoort, education, clinical practice and research have developed based on close exchange with other countries.

These activities are moving forward today. While exchange was previously limited mainly to that between universities, a wealth of exchange is now also taking place at departmental, classroom, and individual levels, involving a wide range of individuals from nurses to laboratory technicians and students as well as doctors. The many non-Japanese individuals at Nagasaki University Hospital and within the School of Medicine give an international feel to the institution. The Nagasaki University Hospital International Medical Center functions as a point of contact for academic exchange with the rest of the world.

Please contact us not only to arrange hospital tours, but also with requests for collaboration in research and training.
