Department of Clinical Laboratory Technology

The treatment and prevention of illnesses all start with tests done by clinical laboratory technicians.
Clinical laboratory technicians are testing specialists who can discover the cause behind an illness more quickly from test results, leading to a definitive diagnosis.

Job Opportunities

Experts in Testing and Analysis for Quickly Detecting Illnesses

Clinical laboratory technicians collect specimens such as blood samples, conduct physiological tests, and perform analytical work using specimens. Attention has been drawn to the strenuous efforts being put into PCR tests for COVID-19 being done in the field. Technicians are necessary in a wide range of fields due to their work relating to the early detection and treatment of illnesses.

Early Detection and Preventive medicine, Fields that are Only Expanding

By understanding the tests in various clinical settings and connecting the results to early detection and treatment of illnesses, lives can be saved. In Japan, which faces a rapidly aging society, preventive medicine needs to become more prevalent, such as by extending healthy life expectancy and tackling illnesses before they become an issue, and the expectations and opportunities for clinical laboratory technicians are continuing to expand.

Human Resource Development

Become a Communicative Testing Professional

The work of a clinical laboratory technician requires cooperation especially with doctors and nurses. There are also tests such as blood sampling and ultrasound examinations where you need to interact with the patient directly. As such, clinical laboratory technicians with high level communication skills are required in the medical field. A single word or smile from you can ease a patient’s anxiety.

A Full Range of Facilities and Testing Equipment Actually Used in the Medical Field

In addition to a full range of medical and testing equipment, the campus is fully equipped with facilities for learning cutting-edge medical care, including a physiological function laboratory and training rooms for clinical testing. Since we have a variety of items that are actually used in medical institutions, you will be able to acquire practical skills that can be used in the field through classes and practical training.

Department of Clinical Engineering

In order to solve social problems such as the aging of society, technology is evolving day by day and medical care is becoming more advanced. We are now in an era where engineers protect lives.
A clinical engineer is an engineer of life.
The more advanced medical devices become, the more specialization is required.

Job Opportunities

Medical Device Specialists with Knowledge and Skills in Both the Medical and Engineering Fields

Clinical engineers are medical technicians who operate and maintain high-tech medical devices such as dialysis machines, ventilators, and extracorporeal circulation systems (including ECMO). They are expected to play an active role in a wide range of fields, from life-sustaining support in operating rooms and intensive care units (ICUs) to research into future medical devices and joint development with manufacturers.

The More High-Tech Medical Devices Become, the Higher the Expectations of Clinical Engineers

High-tech medical devices capture a lot of patient data. Moving forward, digital science utilizing AI and other technologies will continue to advance, and it is expected that personalized treatment methods will be proposed for each patient. Clinical engineers may be the first to recognize these treatment methods.

Human Resource Development

Become a Clinical Engineer Who Can Play an Active Role in Team Medicine

The medical field is team medical. Depending on a patient’s condition, highly specialized medical professionals such as doctors, nurses, and clinical engineers gather and work together to provide treatment. This requires reliable information sharing and communication among medical professionals. We train clinical engineers with the necessary expertise and communication skills.
