Gunma University's Medical Safety Education Facility has been recognized by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology as an "Educational Collaboration Utilization Hub," serving as a Faculty Development (FD) activity hub for university faculty members nationwide involved in training professionals in various fields such as medical care, health, caregiving, welfare, and education. With this designation, Gunma University can expand its excellent educational content and methods developed in the field of health care to education in various other professions, further enhancing its capabilities. The recognition of this hub allows Gunma University to collaborate with other universities, enabling the development of diverse and advanced education across the entire spectrum of university education. It's worth noting that the Educational Collaboration Utilization Hub for Medical Safety Education Methods is the only one of its kind in Japan. This recognition is a result of Gunma University's concerted efforts by faculty members to contribute to medical safety reform. The university's Institute for Molecular and Cellular Regulation has been recognized as a collaborative utilization and research hub for "research" since the 2010 fiscal year. By combining these hubs for "education" and "research," Gunma University will further enrich its educational and research activities.
