Our department is active in a wide variety of clinical activities.
Extensive outpatient activities are carried out by the department's faculty and fellows. Based on KAMPO diagnostics, we evaluate and manage all kinds of symptoms refractory to conventional (Western) medicine. Over 10,000 patients per year with a wide variety of conditions are seen in our outpatient clinic.
Inpatient admissions and consultations in the department number approximately 50 per year. The in-patient unit has 1 bed for patients whose clinical condition requires special observation. The residents are responsible for the daily care of in-patients and have the opportunity to learn patient management from the department's faculty and fellows.
Chiba has been one of the most historical places for learning KAMPO medicine in Japan and Chiba University School of Medicine has produced many distinguished KAMPO doctors with honorable reputations.
