With the progress of medical science, specialization has advanced, leading to the division of medical departments based on organs and diseases. At Gunma University Hospital, even within the category of "Internal Medicine," there are seven specialized departments: Cardiovascular Medicine, Respiratory Medicine, Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Endocrinology and Diabetes, Nephrology and Rheumatology, Hematology, and Neurology. Similarly, in the field of general surgery, there are seven specialized departments based on organs. In total, there are 29 medical departments, and "General Medicine" is one of them. Amidst increasing specialization and subdivision, there is a growing demand for comprehensive medical care that captures patients holistically without limiting treatment to specific organs or diseases. Addressing this need is the field of "General Medicine". General medicine requires a broad and rich knowledge of medicine and the skills to accurately assess physical conditions. In this context, Department of General Practice Medicine plays a complementary role. Leading both departments since November 2021 is Professor Kowase, the first female professor in the Graduate School of Medicine.
