new endeavors launched in 2016, first period general education
classes at the satellite campus will start at 8:00. Students who commuteby JR or Meitetsu, select this course, and take second and third periodclasses at the Yanagido campus. This enables them to avoid morning

What direction is Gifu University moving in? The various faculties
and teaching staff have continually worked hard to make the university
a place where people learn and grow and where human resources withhigh levels of professional expertise are developed. Recently, we have
had major success in becoming a national model through various
activities ranging from local community work, to international efforts.
These have included becoming a Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports,
Science and Technology’s Center of Community (COC), creating COCdevelopment type COC+ projects, forming an agricultural science

Development Program, and an International Liberal Arts Course. We
consider it our duty to further raise Gifu University’s presence not onlyin Chubu areas, but also throughout Japan and overseas and to wineven greater praise from students, their guardians, and local residents
through these efforts.
While we take great pride in this work, we fully understand theimportance of continually examining whether our education andresearch activities meet the needs of not only the local community andJapan, but also the international community. Of these various efforts,
the global expansion of the university is of particular importance. We
will continue to increase exchanges between universities to make itpossible to accept more than the 400 international students who study
at the university now. Additionally, our goals are to ascertain thevarious needs (problems faced) in regions where Gifu University
students study, to conduct research and study and develop solutions tothese problems, and in this way to truly make contributions overseas.
In other words, it is important to undertake internationalization rooted
in local communities and provide“glocal”services that provide local
communities in Japan and overseas with the benefits from thoseefforts. We use the same approach for other activities that contributeto local communities in Japan and consider this the essence of our
COC and COC+ projects.
Governance provided by the university president establishes athink-tank function to help achieve our goals. It can be viewed asproviding guidance and making proposals. We can foresee thatglocalization of the university will occur as we strive to reach our goals
with a carefully developed point of view. Let us all work together tomove forward with these efforts.

University Hospital

Animal Medical Center

The University Hospital provides highly advanced medical care as the sole university hospital and special function hospital in Gifu
Prefecture. It has also been designated as a specialized hospital for diseases that are difficult to treat, such as cancer, hepatitis, AIDS,
etc. The University Hospital places particular emphasis on advanced medical care for five categories of major disease (cancer,
cardiac infarction, stroke, diabetes, and psychiatric illness) and five medical services (emergency medical care, disaster medical care,rural and community medical care, perinatal care, and pediatric care) viewed as high priority by the Japanese government. The
University Hospital has been designated as one of Japan’s advanced emergency medical service centers, and the Advanced Critical
Care Center in the Hospital takes critical, high-acuity emergency patients. Since February 2011, the Hospital has provided a helicopter
emergency medical service as the base hospital in Gifu Prefecture (390 emergency transport cases for 2015).
The Preoperative Control Center was established in September 2015, and the University Hospital strives to improve the quality ofits medical care, ensures the safety of its medical care, practices team-based medical treatment, and trains physicians to provide thebest medical care possible for each patient.

The Animal Medical Center is the only facility dedicated to veterinary education, research, andtreatment in the Chubu region. In response to the increasing need for veterinary practices in recent
years and to provide advanced medical treatment that pet owners expect, a new clinical ward andLinac Center were built onto the Animal Medical Center in April 2010 as well as the MRI Ward in
April 2012. The Center’s new clinical ward has private consultation rooms, a positive pressure
surgery room which can also be used for brain surgery, and an intensive-care unit. It is an advanced
facility equipped with electronic medical charts and diagnostic imagining units. The Linac Center
was the first of its kind at a Japanese national university to have a high-energy radiation LINAC(linear accelerator) treatment system, and the MRI Ward was likewise the first to have an MRI(magnetic resonance imaging) system. The Center's specialties are internal medicine, surgery,oncology, anesthesiology and neurology for companion animals, and farm animal medicine. In one
year, about 9,000 cases are being treated at the departments of internal medicine, surgery,oncology, anesthesiology and neurology from referrals from private hospitals in the Tokai, Kinki and
Hokuriku regions. At the same time, the department of clinical theriogenology plays an importantrole in the medical care of farm animals in Gifu area, examining about 150 cattle a year.

The objective of the program is to attract people, who play a central role in regional revitalization, to local communities by creating appealing workplaces forstudents and supporting efforts by universities to boldly undertake curriculum reforms necessary to train the human resources needed by local communities throughcollaboration between universities, local public entities and corporations.
Striving to become a university that is an integral part of the local communities, Gifu University is using the current COC program to move forward with efforts totrain local community–oriented human resources who work to resolve issues faced by local communities and who can play an active role as local community leaders
by making use of their specialization. However, there is a net population outflow from Gifu Prefecture, and this is particularly true for workers in their 20s, many ofwhom move to Aichi Prefecture for work, and there is a need to train human resources that understand the appeal of companies in Gifu and can contribute torevitalizing local industries by settling down in local communities.
Therefore, working with entities such as local governments and companies in Gifu and strengthening relationships with local industries, Gifu University promotes
local employment and the return of jobs to the local area and contribute to local revitalization through several activities. The universities train students who meet theneeds of local industries by offering a three-step education program (1. Listen and see, 2. Take on challenges, and 3. Play an active role). The efforts are centeredon internships and common educational programs with not only universities in Gifu, but also the current COC program universities in Aichi. Gifu University also
promotes job creation through several activities such as expanding programs using industry-government-academia joint research.
