徳島県は美しい自然と過ごしやすい気候に恵まれた地域です。それと同時に、少子高齢化が最も進んだ地域の一つと言えます。医学の進歩はもちろん、社会や自然環境の変化のスピードは思った以上に早いものです。健康問題は社会を反映していますから、病院で働く人はつねに新たな課題に直面します。「限られた働き手と資源でいかに質の高い医療を続けていくか」を、真剣に考える時なのです。
当研究室では、病理学、臨床検査医学を基盤に、医療現場、臨床検査や病理検査室の問題解決に繋がる研究を幅広く、タイムリーに行い、成果を社会に還元することを目指します。学内外の病院と連携し、臨床研究から社会医学研究にわたる幅広い研究手法を用いたいと考えています。一方、学部教育では、社会人へのレジリエンスある移行のために、知識活用、対話を重視した学習方法を実践し、検証していきます。
質の高い医療を発展させることにより、地域の方々に喜びと活力をもたらし、医療従事者もこころ豊かな人生を送れるようになる―これが当教室のゴールです。

Health problems reflect the society, and thus, the people who work in hospitals are constantly facing new issues. It is time to seriously contemplate how to continue providing high-quality medical care with limited personnel resources.
On research, based on pathology and laboratory medicine, we are carrying out broad-reaching and timely research theme that lead to solve problems in medical care environments, laboratory medicine and pathology , aiming at returning the results to the society. We intend to establish links with hospitals inside and outside of the university and use a wide range of research methods covering all fields, from clinical research through to sociomedical research. In undergraduate education, we practice and verify learning methods that place the emphasis on the use of knowledge and dialogue to facilitate the resilient transition from students to working adults.
Our goal is to provide, by developing high-quality medical care, members of the community with joy and vitality and to nurture medical workers who are able to enjoy fruitful lives.
